Beautiful build.

So why the new front clip? Is the chassis a rebuilt title?

 

[Jaredsmits]

I thought it looked better, nicer headlights.
No it’s not a rebuilt title, thr original clip was still perfect shape when I took it off

 

[MsRandiCook]

I do too. The old Ford's have a great style lines...

 

[MsRandiCook]

Jared is this a diesel? And is this a Holiday Rambler?

 

[Jaredsmits]

No. It is the V10 gas triton. Which I prefer as I have found travelling across Canada, that diesel stations are far far fewer than gas stations. Also from what I have found for fuel mileage it’s not terribly different. I’m averaging 23L/100km. My Isuzu NRR work cube truck with 5.2L I4 is about the same weight and size. averages 19L/100km. My Toyota tundra with 4.7L gas towing 26’ enclosed trailer same combined weight I’m at 21L/100km

Also repairs or worst case replacement are much more reasonable if you ever need them on the gas versus diesel.

 

[MsRandiCook]

Jared,

Thank you so much for the update. I'm wanting a diesel as here in the states, we have diesel everywhere. Best of luck on the sale. I would suggest you put the camper name, age and list the engine in your beginning of add...

Cheers,

Randi

No problem. I would maybe reconsider the diesel engine. I come from a family of only diesel vehicles from our Mercedes diesel cars, to dodge diesel trucks, to my work cube trucks.
It was hard me to consider a gas engine in a large vehicle but when I worked out the numbers on above mentioned points the gas engine was the best decision. If it could have been an inline diesel option such as Cummins or Isuzu I’d consider it but not any V engine options in the Fords and Chev

Nice unit, looks very clean - it’s 2wd yes?

What are tank capacities?

Did you remove genset?

 

[Jaredsmits]

2wd

Fuel tank - 55 gal.

Propane - 21 gal.

Fresh water tank 63 gal.

Black tank 32 gal.

Grey tank 30 gal.

Reminded genset and instead use Honda 2200. This is quieter because it’s not attached to the rig. Also put a soft start on AC so it will run on Honda 2200.
