Bought a couple used kayaks back in Feb and am enjoying a new family hobby.

Looks like a great start. Our family has an '04 E150 and love it. I think you will get better responses to this in the camper van section: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/4wd-and-2wd-camper-vans-a-k-a-vanlife.58/ What many seem to do install Moog cc880 coils and Bilstien...

Loving working thru your build and trip reports - great that you are getting your family out there to enjoy the great outdoors. I have a question for you on your Chalet trailer - what is your sleeping arrangement for all 5 of you? Starting to look at alternatives to our ground tent sleeping 5...

Like you setup and will start working thru your build thread - i'm got a family of 5 but will probably end up being a family of 6. We are looking at pop-ups as an alternative to ground tents- I'm curious how you sleep your family in a A-Frame popup?

I have an '04 E150 with 16" factory steel wheels, but the van came with factory wheel covers. The bolt pattern is the same as older ford 1/2 ton vans, trucks, etc as has already been stated. One thing I will mention on the tires, is that the stock size for the 04 is a 235/70/16. I upsized to...

Yes I figured- Already have replacement spark plugs in hand- trying to find the time to replace them.

2004 E-150 5.4 3.55 gears, LT245/75/16 LR C AT3's - 8 passenger van 13 City / 14.5 highway

Had the opportunity to spend some time around Silverton on the way to Saratoga Springs UT about 3 weeks ago. My dad, brother -in-law and a couple cousins, along with some of their sons joined us and it was so much fun! Beautiful scenery. Rivers, streams and creeks were full! Loved it.

Time for a much needed cleaning - fortunately our kids thought it was fun to vacuum the van (also wiped down all the plastic trim panels, dash, doghouse and console, etc)

After using it to run my CPAP as a test ( since that is the primary reason I got it) I've managed to run it for 4 nights averaging 6 hrs a night, though the first couple of nights I forgot to put the CPAP into low power mode, which shuts-off the humidifier and heated hose, among other things...

I can say that it feels solid and substantial- to use the line from Jurassic Park: “Are they heavy? Yeah. Then they're expensive. Put them back” Here is the sticker on the bottom :

i just got one since it seemed to be a good package that checked the boxes. I’m in need of a battery/inverter combo to power my CPAP. Yes, I’m aware that there lots of models out there that are powered via DC or a DC/DC converter. My unit isn’t one of those though and i don’t have the money...

Borrowed my dad's teardrop trailer and took the kids camping this past weekend!

I've wondered about using a used mini fridge w/ an inverter, but wasn't sure if a dorm style mini fridge would work very well. Glad to know it worked for you, as 12V fridge isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I'm in the same position with a Drawtite front receiver mounted winch, but I've got a E-150 and won't be in position to upgrade the suspension to lift the front and rear for a while. I had hoped to have a front receiver poke out the hole in the bumper, but unfortunately that would hit the AC...

That would be a interesting Combo, and I'd go for it since its a 5-Spd MT. I would not recommend it if the donor van had a 4-Spd MT. We had a '81 E-100 with 4.9L I6 and a 4 spd MT w/ OD, and while it got decent MPG ( my dad reports getting 18-20 MPG highway, before the engine rebuild) - BUT...

2004 E-150 front receiver/winch 2004 E-150 Got new shoes about a month ago, AT3's (245/75/16 LR C) - Got quite a bit of tire rub on the front sway bar at full lock on both left and right - so now saving for a budget suspension lift (Moog 880 coils, Bilsteins, HD rear leaf springs). Then...

I got these from another post on ExPo, so not my idea, but here is how they added photos (sadly, I copied the instructions into a Word document, but not the link I got them from ) - Ive tried it and it works, but it is tendious - not like photobucket Instructions for Inserting Google photos...
