Ford just released a few more details about the new full size van that will eventually be replacing the E-Series. While I love my E-350 I think I would gladly trade it for a new model with a high roof and 25% better fuel economy!&nbsp;<img rel="lightbox" src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif"...

At the 30 second point in the video below there is a folding bed.&nbsp; Does anyone happen to know who makes this? Or if it was possibly a custom built bed?&nbsp;&nbsp; It appears as if the van has a Sportsmobile top, so perhaps it comes from them? <img rel="lightbox"...

&nbsp;Does anyone know of a supplier for a swivel base that would fit a 2004 E-350?&nbsp; I want to be able to temporarily turn my passengers side seat around for use in the back, but finding one has been exceedingly difficult. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/confused.gif" alt=""...

&nbsp;Thanks fro the recommendations. I ordered a Coleman 2 burner propane unit yesterday and hope to have it for next&nbsp; weekend when I start the conversion.&nbsp;&nbsp; I still need to find a long extension so that I can use the grill out the passengers door, but it looks like there are a...

&nbsp;I considered the Coleman, but the newer ones seem to get pretty mixed reviews.&nbsp;&nbsp; I'd really like to stick with a built in as I'm going to hooking up a bulk propane tank in the unit as well.

&nbsp; Thank you for the suggestions on the awnings. I have decided against a tube style awning for the time being just for the advantage of keeping stealth, possible wind drag while driving and the high cost. &nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;I had a lead on an 8' Trimline locally for $75, but the seller...

As a driver of a 2004 E-350 myself, I'll say that the bottom of those chairs looks 10x cleaner than mine, and mine has never been flooded. <br /><br />&nbsp;It does not take a flood to get moisture under carpet pad or rust on bare (Or lightly coated) steel.&nbsp; The pad under the vinyl flooring...

I'm looking to put a small retractable awning on my van, but I am not sure which one to go with.&nbsp;&nbsp; I like the stealthiness of the bag awnings, but the hard cased roll out type would sure be more convenient (Yet more expensive). <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;Does anyone have an awning?&nbsp...

&nbsp;I'm working on converting my van and have decided to go with a built in propane cook top.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now the question is which one?&nbsp; <img src="/images/boards/smilies/confused.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />So far the Ramblewood Green 2...

&nbsp;I considered that Hamilton Beach blender, and saw that it received great reviews on Amazon.&nbsp; I ended up going with the Ninja Kitchen System Pulse instead, mainly because it's going to be doing double duty in my home and on the road. &nbsp; It comes with 3 small smoothie cups and a...

What about a hitch hauler?&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />&nbsp;http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Lugguage-Carrier-Gererator-Basket/dp/B0049J3SK2/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347066061&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=hitch+hauler<br /><br />&nbsp; It does not sound like you need a significant amount of extra...

With the 5.2 it probably has an OD transmission and that's where a lot of the issues were on those transmissions.&nbsp; The over drive was not offered on the 3.9 V6 and those transmissions are very reliable.&nbsp; The 5.2 motors were bullet proof and can run for 300K+ miles if properly...

You need to be careful using dry ice in a small enclosed area.&nbsp; It gives off CO2 gas and in an area that is not well ventilated CO2 will settle and pose a serious health hazard (As in you may not wake up the next morning <img src="/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle"...

I just wanted to say hello to everyone here on the forums and also that this has to be the most informative site I have come across for full time Van/RV living!&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />I've been lurking around the van/rv dwelling sites for a while now and decided a few months back to build up a...
