Trekking,<br><br>You're getting some good feedback...here is mine.<br><br>I (like you) was searching for a 12 volt TV solution and found: www.my12voltstore.com<br><br>I bought this<br><br>http://www.my12voltstore.com/Naxa_13_3_12_Volt_Digital_TV_DVD_Player_p/rp-ntd1351.htm<br><br>and mounted it...

Vonbrown,<br><br>Handsome rig--congratulations on your find!&nbsp; The roof design with the skylight windows are really nice.&nbsp; Is it possible the Roadtrek designers took that roof design for their own? (Rhetorical)<br><br>I realize you are in the planning and doing stage so if an ample...

Scoundrel,<br><br>Nice original post and box van spec drawing...<br><br>Weigh what others have said above.&nbsp; On 11/9/12, a forum contributor named Grummy shared the link to his site that covers his step van conversion and he shares dimensions and other info about that choice of camper...

C2b, thanks for your reply.<br><br>The plastic tubing you see is the sink drain.&nbsp; I have the gas rated thread tape and leak detector solution.&nbsp; Thanks for the reminder.<br><br>You said above: Hardware stores may or not have the required fittings to adapt different existing propane...

Hi All:<br><br>I believe this may be the right post to get a question I have answered by people in-the-know but please bear with me:<br><br>I have an E-350.&nbsp; It was originally built out with a Suburban propane furnace and a 2-burner propane range.&nbsp; Only the range remained when I bought...

Nice find and it does look 2b in great shape for 24 years old.&nbsp; Have fun!<br>

Well Folks,<br><br>I have been very strapped for time to work on the door (or that is the excuse I'm using).&nbsp; I had the local Ford "Stealership" change the oil and instal the side door remote control assembly.&nbsp; The shop rate here is $112/ hour so that hurts.<br><br>So, Blkjak $80 (for...

Seraphim,<br><br>Thanks for sharing the Falcon's layout--great pictorial tour!&nbsp; Their design is indeed an efficient use of space.&nbsp; Also, I have enjoyed the other photographs on your blog site as well.<br><br>SB<br><br>

Eeee gad, Seraphim, that's a chunk of change and for 1 side.<br><br>What year is your rig and at how many miles is this occurring?<br><br>This is my first Ford and I bought a Ford against several strong opinions.&nbsp; This one is a '93 that was well kept with low miles so I'm hoping that by...

Thanks, 4 X 4!&nbsp; I'll see if Harbor Freight has some Torx sockets or wrenches.<br>

From the sound of your post and look of the cookies, your first try of the stove appears to have been a success.&nbsp; Congrats on that!<br>

Dragonfly,<br><br>Your "fall into the pit" is why shops have the "Our insurance does not permit customers beyond this point" but it (your experience) sure does create a funny mental video.&nbsp; Thx.<br><br>

I understand the reluctance to invest in the door fix better now.<br><br>As suggested I checked the local car parts store first (Napa is nearby).&nbsp; They have a substitute handle but referred me to Ford for the assembly.&nbsp; The closest dealer gave me a part number (on the phone) and cost...

I too have seen this blog before--very useful with practical tips.&nbsp; IMO, it's a perfect jump start for this area of the forum.&nbsp; People may not want to or can't give up their cars to make the transition to mobile living.&nbsp; <br><br>Thanks, JBreed for thinking of it.<br>

Seraphim,<br><br>I was able to take apart the interior cargo door handle today.&nbsp; I credit your Chilton directions with urging me to take this on and Blkjak's reference to "stealership" as the reason to figure it out myself.&nbsp; There is a cable that runs from the handle up to the latch...
