Dang Hab, I could use another, a regular non ton version for daily use, 10 MPG city is killing me, but I just can't afford it, I have another wheelchair lift I can't afford to install in place of the worn one.

 

that's got me beat lol, i've mainly owned Aerostars with the Chateau being the first full-size.

 

Yeah, working here on the farm and traveling as much as I do I tend to wear them out pretty fast. Usually drive'em until they hit 250,000 to 300,000 miles then part'em out.. Averaged 125,000 a year from 82 to about 05 but now I've slowed down some.

 

Here's my ride.

I need to get some better shots...

 

Grems4ever, your signature line "Is it a bad sign when the van holds more than the camper can sleep? <!-- / sig --> <!-- controls --> "

Man that reminds me of last summer. We went to the lake with my wife driving the 34ft motorhome, towing our 28ft pontoon boat, me in the 06 E-350 Camper Van towing our 28ft Coachmen RV trailer, my son in law driving my 92 E-350 towing a 8x16 enclosed trailer full of camping gear. And were joined at the lake by 16 family members who brought just there appetites.
But we had a great time, caught lots of fish, and the Grand Kids still talk about it.

 

Your's and mine are twins other than color and mine has led the life of a work truck. I need to wash it and post another pic.

 

I love the picture because you don't notice the dents, dings, scrapes, and scratches it has. I'm not sure what it did in a previous life, but it was not a garage queen.

 

Here's mine - sorry, nothing is hooked up to it - but will be coming camping season. 2001 XLT 6.8L

 

Mine was a shuttle in it's early life, has the seats stripped out and the only one in the rear is a sofa/bed over the axle, I need to replace one of the side doors and remove the dent from the wall where I was backed into.

 

I would love to have the cash for a deuce and a half, put a lift like you have on the dozier, do some heavy pull jobs and off road extractions.

 

With many winters like this you would probably work yourself half to death the way I did for twenty-eight years after I was "retired" from regular employment by my disability. Now I've slowed down life's a lot more fun.

 

Here is my 06 E350

 

Nice 06, wish I had those tubes on my 06.

 

My 1992 E350 SD Quigley minus the body:


After the rebuild with performance mods:


Back on the road:

How did you lift the body off? I'm impressed!
