    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    Shower framed up, mortar base is down. It looks like a lot of mortar, but it's only 1/4" thick. I am using foam Kerdi Board for the walls and pebble floors. FRP will be glued to the Kerdi board. A Oatey shower pan liner will go on top of the mortar base. Also insulation! Also installed the...

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    I've been wanting to order a kit from Ujoint, but haven't because I REALLY want a 2024 cutaway chassis. As some of you know I work offshore. I have 2 weeks left at work, and I knew where there is a 2024 for sale. Today I hit them up, to start the buying process. Knowing I have to take my box...

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    Interior is put together the best it can be for the trip. The only thing that's not finished is trim and the shower. The toilet is in the shower and it's been working great. Actually, everything has. Still working on figuring out storage in the box truck, but that will take time once we use it...

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    I am waiting to get off work (I'm on a boat), to weigh the box truck. Then I can order the 4WD kit through UJOR. After walking around in the box truck, and doing a lot of head scratching, we think we are going to remove the closet, and put a desk there. That way the wife can work while we are...

    Van vs Truck Camper

    Truck camper. All the way. The biggest reason is #vanlife is over and vendors are dying off. I have a 12ft box truck that I converted to a RV. It's a 2014 chassis. Soon it will have a 2024 chassis, same box. Then UJOR 4wd kit. So, I'm not getting rid of it any time soon. I've had vans...

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    I don't mind the 5.4. Doesn't have crazy power, but gets the job done. I need to finish the shower, but that will have to wait until after our trip we're about to go on. I have a toilt we will use. But the box truck is camp ready-ish. Nespresso machine: Found these roll up blinds at...

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    My last van had 4.56. That's probably what I will go with. The axle I bought, I haven't even cleaned it. It will be a while before I do the 4wd conversion. I had a 2022 RV cab / chassis that was wrecked. But I sold it: My plan is to buy a new 2024 cab / chassis that fits my box truck...

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    I had to wait on the A/C to be fixed before I went any further. It's just too hot down here. When I installed the mini split, it was supposed to come pre-charged. However, mine did not. A/C dude came and charged the system, and now it's a freezer in there. I wanted to run it just on batteries...

    I was having solar controller issues. The MPPT I got was DOA. It never worked. It would never show voltage from the batteries, even though it would have power going to it. Battleborn Batteries sent out a new MPPT under warranty. Now, everything is up and running!

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    I got a front axle. Looking for a rear with the 2011+ e locker. I was wondering which gears I should go with. Then I started calculating everything. Last time I went with 4.56 gears. This time, I'm going with 4.88 gears. The stock tires are 29" tall, with 4.10 gears. Going to a 35" tire is a...
