    Ford E350 Quigley Highroof Van Camper - German Style build

    Hi, the Van was no where near junk! But I am with you, when you think it looked like so when all stripped, but I bought it with German inspection already done, aka TÜV, which a lot of car will not get that I see outside the EU. Since the € went down compared to the $ in the last 6 months, no...

    Ford E350 Quigley Highroof Van Camper - German Style build

    This is about my 1993 Ford E350 Econoline Quigley in its conversion to a Camper. For us, here in Germany, an Econoline is rare by itself but even further more if it´s 4x4! I bought that thing in 2013 (!) to build a Camper out of it, because my Iveco 4010 was tooo much truck, and less of an Van...

    UJOR Build Thread

    That's a really great approach: I wasn't aware that box trucks are partly based on E-Series. Here in Germany /Europe we are way more in high roof campers. I had soooo much work NOT to waste space inside with side panels moving in to the roof :-( what's beneath Chris? Are they identical to...

    How deep can 4x4 vans get you? Beginner questions...

    Thanks for this summary - very nicely done! I doubt that more than 1% of SM drivers will reach those destinations - or want to try that! I have in mind those people who have ordered a nice one with a microwave and a senseo coffee machine and after lunch driving that??? ;-) For most people...

    UJOR Build Thread

    This (mentioned pro and cons and their dependencies) is even true in Germany / EU! Diesel price is now 5,40$/ gallon (6.10 gas) ! 50% sales are diesel, tax and insurance are more expensive. Though almost all gas engines are with turbo/ inkl. cooler, direct injection etc. all very expensive parts...

    glue instead of screws <iframe width="854" height="480" src="" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> It´s in German but I guess you´ll get the idea. Noone in europe (with experience an knowledge) will use srews! Depending on budget you can use sandwich...

    Just a stupid advertisement w/o any additional value for viewers - or do I miss anything?

    E4OD advice

    Very good! I cannot believe how stupid grills are done sometimes - just looks :Wow1: I´ve sooooo many people here installing a LED light Bar right in front of the radiator and/ or installing a nice, heavy peace of steel instead of a bumper in the front. Actually there is a reason for the hole...

    Jerry cans for fuel

    These so called NATO Cans are just gas cans in Germany. That is maybe the reason why these cost in a hardware Store. https://www.bauhaus.info/messgefaesse-kanister/unitec-benzinkanister/p/12601971?q=benzin%20kan Maybe because we give a **** about military stuff.

    2012 Ford E350 2wd van a good base?

    IF you want to constantly crawl inside the truck - it will be a good choice. I personally wouldn´t want that! Mine has a higher roof of 8", wich is the least I would tolerate. Depends on climate of course as well, and if you are off-grid all the time or sometimes in areas where you would want...

    Bilstein 5100 too long for Quigley?!

    These shocks work for your truck, but not mine! Quigley changed the 4-link right after the production beginning. I have seen ´96 with the newer style. Never ever seen mine before in the net. I can get shocks like stock ones easy but I have a 4x4 and a heavy Diesel engine. An E150 shock, would...

    Battery Mount In-front or above the Rear Axle

    Image that your axle can possibly fully "contract" up the rubber bumper [don´t know the correct terminus / translation right now]. Though, from my eyball measurement :Wow1: this shouldn´t be an issue. In general batteries are heavy pics, my optima 66ah are 22,7 kg each / aka 50 pounds. In an...
