At long last I've got a little bit of time so I'm digging into my electrical makeover. When I gutted the interior and did the roof raise I was planning to redo the electrical then but due to some family health issues I ended up just having to quickly get it all back together. So ffwd a couple...

It doesn't sound like you're looking to do a custom build but I'll throw this out there. Some folks choose retired ambulances to convert because of the high safety standards they are built to. https://www.braunambulances.com/why-braun/ambulance-safety-crash-accident-test/ They also come with...

Well, it's been a long time since I posted an update. Life has been kinda crazy and I've had little time or energy for working on the camper. But... I seem to have finally solved a long running issue with my engine and figured I'd share. It's not often that a repair on a Ford 6.0 is "cheap"...

Congrats!!!

Looks great! You've definitely motivated me to check into the marine paint.

235/85R16 Essentially bumped from a 29" tired to 32.5" Still fits without a lift but not by much. Plenty of room between the duals.

It depends on what your needs are. I like backroads and have long winters where I live. I went with the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W Went up a couple sizes. So far they've been great.

We're all cheering for you!

Had one in my old Landcruiser. Lots of miles on ice and snow. Definitely some noise on tight turns but even with a relatively short wheelbase and manual transmission I found it easy enough to manage in slippery conditions. You do have to modify your driving style a bit, mainly in not abruptly...

Sweet project!

Holy cow that looks great!! Awesome progress!!

Excellent! My rear ac/heat is coming out shortly.. I blocked it off just as a test and I haven't used it in over a year. I need the space more than I need the extra AC and heat capacity.

I sure like the switch panel in the driver door.

It's 20 feet long and 10 feet high. I don't think that qualifies as stealthy. :) Perhaps more convenient than a truck and trailer but based on driving my own similar sized rig around, the only thing stealthy is that it kinda blends in with the mass of other camper vans also pretending to be...

Looks like that's how those springs are designed. e.g. They are quite flat from the factory. Doesn't mean they ride great but not an indication that they are sagging or worn out. Interesting article on the ride quality and options for replacements...

Bummer man, I was hoping all was well in the land of the cursed cummins. Maybe Santa will bring you a new motor for Christmas?

If you're noise sensitive like me you might find the direct to frame mounting to be a problem. I ended up wrapping my pump in pipe insulation and then hanging with zip ties so there is no direct path for vibration to travel. I can juuuust barely hear it now.

Where did you mount the fuel pump for the heater?

This is what I'm considering. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/ford-e-series-rear-shackle-flip.194724/page-2

Awesome project! Looking forward to more progress!
