Hello from Bozeman

Just joined the site with the hopes I could get some help with a decision I’m pondering about the purchase of a used Ford E-250.. Been adventuring in a pick up with a pop up and hoping to move over to the van life to give it a go. Where would be the best place to ask some Quigley/SMB Pop Top and Ford E questions so I’m confident with my purchase and plans. Thanks folks

This is a good place for that I think!

I may not be able to answer questions specifically related to an E250, Quigley, and a popup, but others probably can.

As of last month I’ve owned my SMB van for 10 years and I still don’t feel confident with my purchase or my plans.

Welcome to the group.

We sound like kindred souls. Ha ha.

Well... for the next three months or so I'm "local" and have a Quigley E250 if you're looking for measurements, etc.

Wonderful, and thank you. Yes I would like to have a look to see how I’ll do a build, the van is a shell right now other than the SMB top. I live in town by Cooper Park. Name is Brian
You have any idea why even though I’ve created an account I cannot post?

We're not too far away from each other (Quarter mile?). I was over at the north end of the university. Used to live right there by Pickle Barrel but now I'm over on the west side of campus (Garfield & 19th). Probably not able to meet up this weekend as four week exams are rolling in (Plus the weatherman says we're due 12" of snow... If you believe them

) Happy to give you a cell number if you drop me a PM.

If you're trying to post pictures my guess is the forum probably has some restrictions in place until a certain number (5, 10?) posts, just to prevent people coming to the forum and spamming.

The other day I saw a "Beartooth Vanworks" Quigley Transit going through the middle of campus- turns out it's just over there in Belgrade about a quarter mile north of the airport. Didn't get to see the interior of the van, but it's that white one with stripes on their instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beartoothvanworks/

While not an Eseries... They may have some good ideas if you're looking for someone local.
