Thank you for taking the time to respond. I will read those articles that you posted. I also looked at the pinned post in the section but several are dead links or rather outdated. I do try to do a ton of research before starting to ask questions. As to your question about the TV, yes kids...

I have a Ford 7.3 powerstoke E450 RV with dual alternators. One alternator is for the engine/start. The second alternator is isolated. (not actually installed yet, because I keep reading that it can burn up if not connected to anything) Currently using AGM batteries that currently only get...

Making more progress... Front powered seats are in even though only one is pictured. After almost being blown off the road, I also purchased the Addco #100 front Anti sway bar kit. *This will get installed very soon. * Needed to put a new floor in on the driver side. There wasnt much left...

Thanks! The drum brakes were a fairly fresh install. I dont have a working odometer so i have to gauge things on gas tanks. Id say those brakes have 4 tanks of gas on them (1.5 years) . I dont drive the van a whole lot yet.

This weekends project was front disc brake conversion. Purchased a caliper bracket from Scarebird. Off with the old. and on with the new. It did require a change in MC and proportioning valve. And the obvious - rotors, calipers, pads, and soft lines. All seats are installed. (i forgot...

I was looking into making an inVan box that is sealed off to the van but plumbed to the heater and cooker and vented. Is there a typical vent to use in a box like this?

I do think that the unit i pulled from my popup camper will do most of the same things. I wont charge the battery. So i think all i will need to add is a smart charger.

hmmm. I keep posting here in my build thread and i keep getting a message that my posts need moderator approval. edit. Well this posting seemed to get through. re-edit. just tried again to post a message back to java on here and again it said my message needs to be approved. ?!?!******!?! --and...

yeah, im thinking that the power unit i got from my popup camper will do similar things. It just wont charge the battery but i can add a smart battery charger.

I think the unit i got out of my popup camper will do the same thing. except charge the battery. So i many not need anything additional other than a smart battery charger.

Is there something comparable to a Zig unit for campervans in the States?

great thanks, ill expand my searches to those type places too.

So i seem to be having issue finding parts that i want to use. examples like sink kits "SMEV", zig unit, water pumps, water tanks and holding tanks. I have no issue at all finding them all over UK and Australia but what about USA. Example i wanted a submersible self priming water pump. ie...

Back around again. Its been hunting season and i dont really do much of anything else during this time. Hunting season is now over. Back to the build Started installing the seats that i bought from that 1997 Ford Club wagon. Front is in and powered. Welded reinforced mounts in the floor...

Pulling the dent Big progress over the weekend with pulling the tree damage dent out of the rear of my van. Back Story: Around a month before i was to have the van shipped from my parents house in Alabama to me up here in Maryland, Hurricane Hanna passed over and dropped a tree on the rear of...

And as always, have fun while working! I found an old.... well just watch.

This past 2 weekends Now that the Van is tagged, titled and road worthy, Its time to start the camper side of this build. This weekend i came home with a new popup Jayco 1006 Deluxe and a Norcold 6052 RV 2way fridge. (all for $150) the plan is to gut the popup and use this stuff to create a...

~~~~~~~ Ok so the valve cover paint had dried and the new motor mounts finally arrived. It was time to put it all back together and see how it runs. I was almost like a kid waiting on Christmas to come. I didnt want to rush and miss simple steps but i couldn't wait. After putting everything...

When we pulled the timing gear cover, we noticed a lot of oil build up 'sludge'. So this prompted the next action, remove oil pan and valve cover. I must admit that removing the oil pan was not as easy as i initially thought it was going to be. Disconnected motormounts, crossmember, crossmember...
