Hello!

[BDK9]

Hey everyone, well first off, I do not have a Sportsmobile. What I have is a '99 E350 w/ the 7.3 psd, that was converted to 4wd using the t-case, axles, etc, from an 07 F350. I have made a few improvements to it since I purchased it last year. New wheels and tires, a Dometic self supporting awning, rear air bags, diesel tuner, etc. etc.. Now it's time to turn my attention to the interior, and that is why I have come here to lurk around and see what everyone has in their vans. I figured there wouldn't be a better place than here. Cheers!

Could you please post a little more detail about that awning ??

Is it the model that has legs folded up into the leading edge ??

Thanks in advance,

Welcome! Did you track down the vibration?

Nice looking rig. Welcome to the group.

I did not. The shop checked drive angles, and drive shaft balance, but everything was good. I told them to wrap it up for now, and I will keep rolling as is. Worst case, I can just keep it under 75, which is when it usually kicks in... :-)

No legs on the awning. It's completely self supporting and cranks out in less than 30 seconds. I've been really happy with it so far. Americanrvcompany.com was who I ordered it from, and it came in right around $1k. You can search "Dometic awning wind test" on YouTube for some videos showing it's durability. They also have a 120v power model that has a wind sensor and automatically retracts if needed.
