Bought new in 2017, DIY camper conv during winter.

February 11, 2021

Past Yves D ; Wood ,Lakes, and Oceans from Eastern Canada and the Maritimes

I'm an ex military aircraft mechanic and this is my 5th DIY camper conversion. The options I chose are : 3.five Ecoboost engine , cloth seats, A/C , Cruise cont , A/Chiliad - xxM - C/D radio , rear door windows , long (not extended ) body , and medium height roof in social club to reduce side surface area(#1). During the conversion process I added a side "panoramic " window to the rear starboard side of the cargo area and another to the port side slightly behind the driver's seat ( I afterwards chose to add a small window in the sliding door (#2) . I too added to the cargo expanse lighting , along with 110/120 V admission and two heaters connected to the engine cooling system with an on-line/off-line selection as bones mods. Note : With the exception of 2020 ( due to Covid-19 restrictions ) I've been driving this vehicle an boilerplate of 42,000+km ( +/- 28,000 miles )in Every kind of weather , on Every kind of road/trail in Eastern Canada . Findings : Plusses : Comfy , drives like a auto ( it should , many Fully equipped cars are less expensive ), responsive with reasonable fuel mileage . Minusses : Really subject area to side air current-gust loads (#1)even when towing a boat with load stabilizers. Dangerously Dismal lateral rear view (#ii). Rear brake to forepart brake clothing ratios are beyond stupid (xxx% rear and 100% rear - TCS problem ? ) and rear replacement is uber pricey ( the axles take to be pulled - become figure ....) . The windshield Will crack and require replacement if hitting by any but the tiniest grain of sand ( iv instances so far , all while driving on a highway) Factory born flaws : There are NO dedicated hard points to tow /pull the vehicle from the front without causing damage, nevermind mounting a claw or a winch , pretty much the same at the rear though installing a tow hitch somewhat alleviates the trouble . Inner fenders are Optional ; which ways that unless yous're already aware of the possibility , the windshield fluid tank AND it's electrical motor are completely exposed to being hit by sand , gravel , slush , and ice spun off at high velocity by the front end right tire . In the engine compartment the outside water infiltration tin can pool in the valve cover bolt insets causing the bolts/basics to corrode solid (my solution in this instance has been to - when already dry - requite them a shot of WD40 and seal them with an easily removeable used wine cork which , No , will not overheat an catch fire ). Summary : Overall a decent vehicle provided its operated and maintained within reasonable margins . Recommendations : The turbos are really what chips the oil in a bustle , moreso later on a loftier speed run followed by an immediate engine shutdown . Let the engine run at idle for a minute or more before shutting down - a few cups of gas is hellaciously cheaper than having to supersede a turbo , and so is oil , which is why ( begetting in heed that Ford would admittedly beloved selling me a new pair of turbos and/or engine ) I deliberately ignore Ford's oil change interval and fix mine at 6000km /4000miles . Did you ever wonder how come there are Douglas DC- 3 airliners still flying ? Bang-up blueprint and proper maintenance have anything to do with it ?

It's swell

I got my van start of 2018 Since the day I got it from the dealership until today every time I plough off the van and exit the door I get electrocuted.! Also be enlightened that Ford is selling the vans without HVAC filters in them installed at all ,! If yous don't install a filter on your own sooner or subsequently your AC will be dead..
