    *SOLD* 1996 E350 PSD 4WD ZF6 "The Ute II"

    Greetings! It's time for this beast to move on to a new care taker. It has been a ridiculously fun project that performed flawlessly on many trips across the west and Baja but the reality of running a company with a fleet of camper vans and also having a baby this year means that it's time for...

    Hello, They're there, or here? Select "explore trekker vans", then "view van details", and then there are four tabs with roughly 100 or so pictures of the interior. Just gotta scratch the surface. Kind Regards, Nate

    The Ute II: E350 RB 7.3 ZF6

    Right on! I haven't tried to start it in gear, but presume it would (no clutch switch). Does that make it an electric vehicle? Regarding the transmission harness- I just unplugged it, sealed it, and zip-tied it out of the way. Nothing special. IMO pedal pressure is not an issue but these...

    Wow. The propane bottle is only turned on when in use. People overthink this stuff.

    D.I.Y Shower Options

    We use a portable propane unit mounted in the back corner byt the barn doors. It's the best $150 I've spent on the van. 100's of happy hot showers. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0097CO2Z6/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_5_w

    We chose the Dometic CD-030, and it has worked well so far. It pulls ~3 amps (40 Watts) when set in the middle of it's temp range.

    Introducing Trekker Vans Campervan Rental

    Thank you, some great advice that I had not thought of here. Much appreciated! You're spot on. My competitors (Jucy and Escape) market almost exclusively to the "leap year" crowd in Europe. It has been very interesting to see where and how our first costomers found us. Over half have been...

    Ha! Yes, this is a good example of what happens when I select a part based on functional specs, and neglect to consider the physical space it has to operate in. Both of these fittings are quick disconnect, no-leak, high flow couplers. One is obviously overkill! :)

    Introducing Trekker Vans Campervan Rental

    Thanks for the kind words! We just crossed the 3 week threshold and it's been a huge learning experience. Getting the word out, how do you do that!? It's fun, and funny. The good news is that our first handfull of renters have all come back with smiles and plans to rent again. So, the Transit...

    Nice, Congrats! We spent the last few nights up in the Eastern Sierra at ~10k ft. Having the gearing going up and down those trails was great. No regerets going manual.

    Wow! Small world. What are the odds!? Yeah, John was great to have around. We went on an awesome rally through the local hills and had a burger at Alice's Restaurant. Good times. Tell him to keep the shiny side up! :ylsmoke:
