Re: SMB Propane Sportsmobile West

Given the color, I don't think you need to worry about people seeing you
Nice and bad ass! Congrats

Re: SMB Propane Sportsmobile West

You can do more research on your propane tank connection specifications by going to the Manchester RV propane tank products web page at:

http://www.mantank.com/products/rvproducts.htm

You have a 1 3/4" ACME connection according to this site.

Nice interior selections. Very similar taste to mine.

Enjoy!

Re: SMB Propane Sportsmobile West

Thank You daveb, once again for great photo's.

Jonathon sent two interior pics last week. Said it would be finished in about two weeks.

I have located an adaptor to make propane tank fill in Australia possible.

The e350 looks good underneath too!

Getting very excited. Have been communicated with BajaSportsmobile, Vendor, to check and fine tune suspension, when i visit next April/May.

Dave, I missed this particular comment when you posted it. Those springs look to be the Roadmaster Active Suspension setup. I had those installed on my SMB when I had it.

Herb, I don't want to hijack, but what were your impressions?

Re: SMB Propane Sportsmobile West

Herb, I've read about those but have never seen that setup. Peter did say they've put them on before. Interesting product but like Eric asked, how did they work? Would they limit droop like an air bag does?

Re: SMB Propane Sportsmobile West

Honestly, I installed them right after we got our SMB, so I don't have a whole lot to offer in terms of comparisons, but I do think they helped control body roll in turns. I did always wonder if they would limit rear axle travel though.
