I prob. would have never found it. I was looking for a 20LB bar b que tank. How do I get it filled? I have so many darn questions and I will probably never find a user manual. So far I am in love with it. Besides being a pseudo-prepper I love being able to work on something I know about. I gave up a Lincoln b/c of the myrid of wiring/electrical problems and the solid block of metal under the hood.


1. Does the 12v lighting get power from reserve battery? Is that battery recharged while driving?
2. Not sure what the switches are for under the sink.
3. Does 110v hookup charge my battery?
4. Do you have a favorite mail order store for camper parts.
..and 5. What is your fav forum for RV camping?


Any suggestions or tips are appreciated. I hope I haven't used up my welcome. Again, thks

 

1 - More than likely the 12v comes from both batteries, but you need to see if there is any disconnect or balancing circuit.
2 - Need a pic to help with that.
3 - It should be attached to a charger, but most likely not a very sophisticated one. Might be a good upgrade to make (3-5 stage charger)
4 - For your rig, I would use Craigslist.
5 - Check out Expedition Portal a very cool site dedicated to exploring out of the way places.

 

I am new to using forums. I haven't quite got em figured out yet.

 

I can't help too much, mine has been sitting for the last year.
Haven't had the finances to start digging into it.

 

I really like those Falcon's and Fiestas. I think they are sleeker looking than the Airstreams.

 

A lot of RV camp sites will fill it. Also most LP dealers will fill it and stores like Tractor Supply and COOP will also.
By the way you do NOT remove the tank to fill it. You just drive to where they will fill it.
Yes, from the deep cycle battery in the back on the drivers side. You will also get 12 power from shore power through your converter.
Yes they will. both batteries will charge, the deep cycle battery and the engine (chassis) battery.
To turn on the hot water heater. There are also a switch for the water pump under the lift up leaf on the monitor panel. The monitor panel will also check the water levels in the black, gray & fresh water tanks and also the LP tank. It will also show the charge state of the deep cycle battery.
Yes your 120VAC shore power cable will charge your deep cycle battery through the converter in the load center under the closet. But it will not charge the chassis battery.

No you have not used up your welcome.
Also welcome to the site.

 

You guys are gr8, I've learned so much already. What a gr8 forum. I hope I will be of help to someone soon. I believe in pay forward.

 

a site I came across not too long ago is called b190.com
It's not dedicated to fords but it is a class B rv forum.
It appears it is geared to the airstreams but I think it's close enough.
I have never posted there, don't know how active it is. But it does have
some info searching through the posts.
I still need to get some pics up.
The van has been tarped due to leaking windows, when I took the tarp off I forgot about getting pics.
I know the tarp isn't a good thing, but it's staying dry inside.
Besides it's so faded it sure won't hurt the finish.
Now with cold on us again, the hopes of getting those windows out and resealed is not going to happen.

Falcons were actually made by intervec who has gone out of business and
the only place to try and get parts new is through the company that bought them up, phoenix USA
I never tried and don't even expect them to carry anything for these old beasts.
