2006 Ford E350 extended body SMB/CCV 4x4 - Reno, NV

2006 Ford E350 extended body SMB/CCV 4x4 - $75k
Reno, NV

We’re downsizing our camper collection and would like someone else to enjoy this van.
We bought it from the original owner's in SoCal
in fall 2018 with ~115k miles.
Current mileage is 144k and will change as we drive it every couple of weeks to keep things lubricated
This is not a complete build as we used this van for camping trips + home depot trips (12-foot lumber fits inside on the floor) + road trips (non-camping). Someone else can make this van into their adventure on wheels.

Upgrades:


37” Geolandar X-AT’s on Method 20-inch wheels

Choate performance 6.0 engine in 2019 - Very similar to a KDD stage 1 long block = https://killdevildiesel.com/products...oke-long-block
The STC fitting broke on our way to Truckee CA and further investigation by a diesel shop showed some other minor internal issues and we decided for a fresh engine instead of a rebuild.

There is a SmartPlug on the rear bumper with wiring to the inside in case someone wants to connect to a inverter.

Here's how the van looked in 2018:



Here's how the van looks now (more photos here -https://imgur.com/a/RWAujz5 ) - will post more photos in additional posts:

Sad to see you parting with your Van Chris, tough decision I'm sure. Lot of fantastic upgrades will make any new owner appreciate the high standard(s) you've incorporated into your build. GLWS!

Any issues with the awning when opening the barn doors?

I have a very similar setup (CCV poptop, barn doors, 37s, and about a mile of lift) and I would love to see a pic with the awning deployed.

No issues with the awning. Trying to get photos but its been windy the past few days and awnings don't like winds in Reno.

Photos of the awning when it's open. The legs adjust up/down, so the awning clears the side doors.
