Re: Our 2015 Ford Transit is now a Sportsmobile!

Funny - we'll have to retrain ourselves to say that instead! It certainly fits better. :a3:

How much antifreeze in freshwater tank

Newbie here. Reading thru our SMB owner’s manual and one thing that is not clear: how many gallons of RV antifreeze is needed to winterize a Type B RV in a climate like Iowa?

Re: Our 2015 Ford Transit is now a Sportsmobile!

Yes, you're totally right - it is gray! We kind of developed the name when we ordered the van from our dealer and waited 3 months for it to arrive. The color is "lunar sky" and from the small...

Re: Our Ford Transit build is underway at SMB North

What route did you take to get to Huntington? We've tried 24 from the west and 30 from the north - not sure exactly which we're doing this (hopefully) last time.

Re: Our Ford Transit build is underway at SMB North

Wow, that is awesome that somebody here actually saw our van! Not that we don't believe SMB North, but it's nice to hear from an eye-witness who was actually there. We wish we lived a lot closer...

Re: Our Ford Transit build is underway at SMB North

Thanks for the verification. Is there any way to secure this from potential sabotage? We've seen the Road treks and other high end models now putting the water fill inside the door, where it can't...

Re: Our Ford Transit build is underway at SMB North

Our Ford Transit is almost done at SMB North. They sent us a photo of the driver's side so we could see the windows. They look pretty nice - a little smaller and higher up than we were envisioning,...

Re: Our Ford Transit build is underway at SMB North

SMB North told us the reason the reason the galley ended up so tall was because of the vents they had to add for the enclosed microwave: 4" at the bottom and 3" at the top! That added an extra 7"...

Re: Our Ford Transit build is underway at SMB North

At the Indiana facility, we are the second Transit they've worked on. Just like ours - the other one was also a mid-roof, 130" wheel base (short body). The other one had no shower - I think it was...

Re: Where can we weigh our SMB?

Yes - that's exactly the model we got. It's used as a commuter vehicle during the week, so didn't want anything too high profile or hard to park.

Our Ford Transit is still being converted at SMB North, but we are getting curious how much it will weigh with all the equipment and fixtures installed.

Re: Our Ford Transit build is underway at SMB North

Now we're sort of concerned that the windows in the back are too high to see out of while sitting on the couch. We were limited to the smaller sized windows with the Transit, but never thought about...

Re: Our Ford Transit build is underway at SMB North

We just got some photos of our build from SMB North (see my gallery) and had a phone conversation with Dan, the guy doing the work. He still says 2-3 weeks, barring any problems. Our plan is pretty...

Our Ford Transit build is underway at SMB North

We took our 2015 Ford Transit over to Huntington, IN on May 7 per their request. All they could tell us at that time was that it was in the queue for June. Of course, we assumed June 1 - but it...

SMB slider window manufacturer?

We are in the final planning stages for our 2015 Ford Transit conversion at SMB North.

They are having limits on which windows they can use in the back sides due to a different type of curvature...

Re: Two Fantastic fans in on RB van?

Good to hear it worked for you! Is that photo showing the installation of the fans in the SMB facility? Which one of the fans do you think worked better for intake - front or back? Thanks!

Two Fantastic fans in on RB van?

I've searched the archives for any mention of folks installing 2 Fantastic fans within one van and there have been a few. They generally seem to have been done maybe later on in the life of the...
