There are inline filters for a hose so you can filter while filling, or go inline.

I have found a few different tank places, I just need to decide on a layout. The shower is the water hog and grey water, but at least that is manageable.

Navy shower boy. Wet up turn off, soap up, turn nozzle back on rinse off shut off. With a low flow rv nozzle a shower should use less than two gallons of water.

Weird. The ad says the van is a 97, but that is has a 6.0 diesel. Either the ad is wrong, or they put a new engine in it.

That is one dark gross cave of an interior.

That looks like a 2000ish body. I don't know my E series very well, but the F series truck didn't go to the rounded corners until '99.

It is the diesel. He has a Hino box truck. 9K miles I could make it my own design... I like the lift.

I almost went that route, but liked the walk through of the step van better. The flat floor would make the layout stupid easy. I think I did ok with my layout working around the 40x22x10 Wells.

He came back with a second offer. Said I owed him for coming up from Pennsultucky (Clarks Summit). I told him to piss off. Deal for the Hino evaporated also. He sold it to my friend for $7K. Comps are easily 20K. I am suspect. I think he is a junkie.

I am going to suck it up and buy the door and stais this weekend. The door is semi local, the stairs will be here next week. Once I have the door in, I can finish the passenger side framing and start on the kitchen.

I found another couch that is 62" wide and my space is 68". The couch I got is 72" and while triming it is an option, I can sell it for $150 and the new one is only $250 and zero effort. It's also way more comfy than this box I bought. :rofl:

Roadtrip comeing up, middle of july. Braveing the heat and traveling to vegas then north to idaho then over to oregon. Camping an hour east of bend and plan to hit the trails and the lakes with the family. Need to put a lift on the camper, they finally sell one or i just found it. Im tired of the thing being so low. Also got a new truck to tow it and its a bit higher, getting a camper shell and lumber rack to haul the canoe in a week or so. Then ill start on getting all the stuff ready, gotta figure out how to haul the bike in the back of the truck.

Steve, nice rig but after owning a 6.7 scorpion motor in my current F50 I dn't think I would want to give up the power and torque. However if that was my boonie rig and we kept our current one also then you have a deal

There's a massive discussion about gas vs diesel on the expedition forum I'm a part of. Its progressed as you may have expected such a topic to progress, but I do admit the gas guys raise some decent points, both for expedition type travel and everyday use.

Gotta admit that I'm on the fence. While I love the power and efficiency my Cummins brings to the table, thinking about a blown turbo or cab-off repair down the road has me a bit nervous. Mine isn't abused, but I suppose that isn't a prerequisite for failure.

Ford is supposed to be introducing their 7.3L gas engine next year, and while I wont switch, itll be interesting to see what that offers.

So it seems there was some optional equipment that was almost installed on my truck. The patch panel covers a square hole and a second square was started on top then not fully cut out.

The box on the inside was in the path of the door. I was trimming the box to flip and fill the hole when the cutting wheel slipped.


But the door fits the space perfect

Does it open in or out? Just get a magnet screen and you're all set.

Anyone need or want this? It’s a 32-ish gallon freshwater tank. My camper is a ‘99, but I have no idea if this is original or not. It’s sitting on end here, would lay horizontal when installed. Dimensions are... too fucking big for my purposes.

EDIT TO ADD: Probably don’t want to let it go for free, these things are spendy new and I would like to recoup a little of my cost on a new one. But reasonable price + shipping if anyone needs it for their camper build...

Looked at another Hino Cube truck. I like the lift on the back. It drives nice and the Box is an open palet. I can turn it into whatever I want. It has a built in battery system which charges the battery and operates the tommy lift. I am told I can easily add a inverter into the system and put panels on top. Its a 2010 89K miles. $9800. I am going to have my guy look at it tomorrow.

I am guessing it's too big for my space of 28x18x16. But I have to ask. The one I found was 25 gallon and $150.
