My 1986 Ford Falcon E250

A very logical assumption but I personally have been in half a dozen Ford Falcon campers and not a one has been the same. Layouts have varied and certainly equipment has varied. Windows are likely the same which only means we're all eventually screwed

Oh okay, I see. Well thanks for the help.

I'm not sure if this is a question anyone could answer for me, but are ford falcons four seasons?

Mine came insulated with fiberglass batt. I've used it down to 20 deg F very comfortably with the propane furnace going, and I'm certain lower temps would be just fine as well. My insulation isn't great and they didn't bother to insulate any of the doors when they did it...just the roof and some of the walls.

Hey guys. So I just bought a 1986 ford falcon to live in while I finish up my last two years in college. It needs some work before I feel comfortable to live in it. I also don't know to much about it and all the equipment it has. I was wondering if you guys could give me a good run down on how to work all the appliances and also where to find spare parts? I need to replace one of the top windows where the bed is but I can't seem to find any online. Do you guys have any recommendations on where to find parts? Also is there any place I could buy a manual on it? Thanks!

Those upper windows are near impossible to find.

Okay thanks. Are 1986 ford falcons not all the same? I figure a thread titled my 1986 ford falcon would be a good place to find info.

What I've found is that all the falcons were handbuilt and no two are 100% identical. Each camper had a slightly (or drastically) different interior configuration. www.rvtalk.com is a great place to learn about the falcon. I detailed the work I did to mine in a post on that site in the CLASS B forum. Search Falcon and you should be able to find it.

I had to drill a hole in my roof to mount the king jack TV antenna. This is what's between you and mother nature.

My doors are not insulated either. I think it could be a temporary 4 season home but your water and sewer systems probably would freeze solid in cold weather.

For me, there's not a more content feeling than knowing I have a reliable vehicle that has its own 110v & 12v power sources, 26 gallons of potable water, a toilet, 2 beds, shower and cooking facilities... that I can jump in & go anytime and almost anywhere. That is BLISS! :ylsmoke:

Christ sakes Don, I think you missed an option, Lack of 84 monthly payments! Great looking old girl, She got a name yet? Dean[/QUOTE]

You are ohhh so right! No payments is a beautiful thing. :victory:
