And now the moment you didn't know you've been waiting for...Atl-Atl's 4x4 Ford E350 RV documentation thread!!

Damn! Its super sick!

SO awesome! Looks perfect!

One thing I'll add is that if you are really doing a lot of off-roading, are you planning on doing anything to brace the habitat? These are not meant for offroad, I'm part of quite a few boondocking / offroad rv groups and almost everyone has issues (even some guys with UJOR conversions) at some point with their campers rattling apart. The structures/hardware are just not built for it even if the suspension is. Any thoughts on replacing hardware / structural components for the camper?

Is it ever !!

It's looking dynamite.

Great job, great thread.

@Atl-atl Nice, I'm interested in the drawer turn style locks you're using to keep those drawers from flying open. Where did you purchase them?

 

[jonnypage]

Man what a project! My only suggestion is a Magnetic knife holder in a moving van is a terrible idea! I assume you'll only put knives there when you are stopped?
As for the Starlink have you considered a 12v swap?

 

[RVflyfish]

Man that thing has come so far since your first photos. And in a hurry too. You do not mess around! Looks great, kudos.

 

[ujoint]

Epic, love seeing it out being used!

Looks sweet. Nice taste on the Revel too. My single biggest holdback from going this direction...is the external bike storage. CO is absolutely brutal with bike theft, and that cable lock on there would be gone in ~15 seconds, and I see you're not using the 1up lock either (granted those just attach to the wheels anyway). I don't see a good way to wiggle the bikes inside without redoing almost the entire interior though. Any thoughts now that you've had it out and camped with it? Oh yeah, and how's the mpg?

What about a class C toyhauler with a 4x4 conversion?

 

[b. rock]

Ha, no. More like an E350 version of the Ekko but with actual 4x4.

 

[Todd780]

Wow! That looks really good! Enjoy it!

I know $1,800 isn’t chump change, but in the scheme of things, purple trees don’t take away from you turning a sow’s ear into a silk purse in record time.

I’m OCD too, but if I accomplished what you did, I’d grab a beer, pull up a chair, and pat myself on the back. Kudos.

 

[Roam.Wild]

Loving the wrap! The rig looks great!

 

[b. rock]

Did you do a flex test/RTI ramp at UJoint by chance? I'm wildly curious how that box does with the axles crossed up.

 

[marret]

Sounds like a great trip.

Yep, agree, there is good bike riding in and around DC.

Haven't been to Snowshoe in a couple years. It has really grown.

 

[b. rock]

Lol, that's definitely doing it 'under biked' at a DH park. Still plenty fun though I'm sure.

Out of curiosity, what are the dimensions of the shower unit? I'm wondering if one could demo that out, and hang a MTB or two vertically in that space.
