2008 E250 Quigley conversion
I started my post in the Welcome Mat and am picking up in the forum suggested to me. I recently purchased a 2008 E250 Quigley conversion. After a harrowing drive from the Indianapolis area to my home here in Raleigh, I am in the process of stripping everything out of it to expose rust and any other issues before I convert it to a “beach buggy”. I plan to build out the interior as a light duty camper/surf fishing overnighter. I am not doing the full “off the grid” conversion (solar electricity, heater, etc.), but do plan on a dedicated 12v system for lighting and appliances. I have actually found a “box” under the frame at the r/h side door and positive and negative heavy duty wires coming out of the floor in front of the rear RH wheel well. I think the “box” may house electronics for a secondary battery charging system. Haven’t put a volt meter on the wire ends yet. (The positive terminal is heavily wrapped in electrical tape. Aside from doing a lot of rust repair, I have contacted agile about better shocks and help with a bad sway at highway speeds. I have uploaded a few photos and can post more as the project progresses. I have read a bunch of posts here and the amount of good information will certainly take the worry out of the project.
