Energy Suspension Hyperflex Master Kit

Been a long time since I visited. Hope everyone is well.

I stumbled across a box of parts I intended to install on my Ford SMB but never got around to. Here's the link:

Re: Sportsmobile for Sale-Poptop-1995

Sorry for the delay. Family issues.

It's got the V8. I think it is called the Windsor. Very good reputation.

Re: Sportsmobile for Sale-Poptop-1995

I plan to clean it up and take better pics later but here are a couple.

I'm not real good with computers. Let's see if this works.

Sportsmobile for Sale-Poptop-1995

I have decided to sell my SMB because I just don’t use it enough (only about 10,000 miles in 3 1/2 years).
Ford E250 base-1995-$10,000
New tires at 99,000 miles (current miles 110,xxx)

Re: Installing new tow mirrors on a 2002 e350

And while I'm bugging you guys anyway. 1994 may be hard to find. Do the slip on or clip on mirror extenders
get the job done? They seem like a pretty easy solution. Thanks.

Re: Installing new tow mirrors on a 2002 e350

I've got a dumb question.

I am about to find and buy some tow mirrors for my 1994 smb.

The problem I am trying to solve is that my 21 foot sailboat (5 feet wide) completely disappears behind...

Re: Pop top scissor bolts snapped & will not rise

I think that's a valid concern. The way the thing is set up, if you have two supports, one on each side, at the middle, the top can't fall on you. The canvas keeps each end up. Or you can go with...

Re: DIY Aluminum Underfloor Storage RB Install

Nice install. I like the mounting setup. That didn't occur to me so I went with a 1 inch flange around the top of the box. Much bigger hole and full access to the box but the downside is that I...

Re: Starcool - should I even bother fixing it?

I did just notice both freon lines for the Starcool, very neatly sealed and capped off, and ziptied to the van lines. So at least where it was disconnected is not a mystery. I think I'm moving it...

Re: How to Vent everything low profile

I heard of a rig catching fire when the propane pilot ignited gas fumes at a fuel pump. Not sure if true but it makes sense. Also, when driving, CO could be prevented from venting by airflow.

Re: Lightweight cabinet construction ideas?

Good thread. Keep us posted. I am thinking of something similar. Weight empty is really the limiting factor unless you plan lots of in and out with it.

Re: Solar direct air conditioner

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't think evap coolers work well around here because the humidity is usually pretty high.

The numbers help clear up my fuzzy thinking. I have always thought that...

Solar direct air conditioner

Jage's purchase of the Kyocera 185 watt panel got me thinking about options for solar air conditioning.

It gets a little warm in these parts. It would be nice to be able to escape the heat from...

Re: 1993 Ford 5.8L Manifold Leak - Gasket Question

I think the pipe out of the front of the manifold is the EGR. Deleting it will cause the engine to run hot.

My manifold is cracked on the right. How big a job is this going to be. Any lessons...

Re: Brake pads...you get what you pay for

Fuel pump access hatch-good idea?

I recall reading long ago about it being a lot of trouble to replace a fuel pump in a 1995 E250. Someone had placed an access hatch in the interior. I guess they just (carefully) cut a hole in the...

Re: Need Help Buying 2005 Sprinter "Airstream Westfalia" in

Use RV in this market? Expires today. My BS meter goes off. Wait a week then ask them if they have unloaded it yet. Offer $35. Just a thought. Good luck.
