one thing we're struggling to figure out as we plan our layout is where to keep our bikes! it seems like most RVers answer is to get a rack and stick them on the back, but we'd really love to figure out a way to store them contained inside the rig. our 1995 Firan Telstar has a HUGE storage...

Thanks for this response, it's a lot of really helpful information! There's a bunch of other stuff in my power calculations that I didn't list (about 20 LED lights, a couple Maxx fans, water heater, speaker, our phones & hotspot which we'll charge every night...) I was just highlighting the...

Oh there was definitely some unnecessary editorializing in there... "On one hand you mention how few devices you'll be running then in the next sentence you lament needing a kW of panels and a larger inverter. It doesn't seem you've got a handle on what you're actually trying to do." I know...

if you can figure out how to say that in a less condescending way I might be interested in listening to you.

Linda- Thanks so much for this information, it's super helpful! I really appreciate it. It seems like I've been way underestimating the size of power grid we're gonna need. I was hoping we could make things work with 200 Ahr of lithium batteries but, I don't think that's realistic at all. The...

hey everybody, renovating a 1995 Firan Telstar with my boyfriend, and we're trying to figure out how many solar panels we want to install on the roof to amplify our power grid. we plan to use lithium batteries to go with our panels. i know that we also need an inverter, a charge controller, a...

also, somebody said they wanted to see some pictures of the interior. enjoy! if anyone lives near Indianapolis and is interested in any of the interior components, let me know! they will all be coming out. s

re: the fresh water tank. you can all now return to sleeping soundly at night knowing that you are correct. the tank is 45 gallons. the guy who sold us the RV made a joke about the tank being 200 gallons and i didn't inspect the tank carefully when we bought it (my boyfriend did), so i thought...

it's a dually.

yes i am quite sure that the 200 gallon water tank that i looked at with my very own eyes underneath the bed is a 200 gallon tank.

thank you!! that's definitely exactly what it is. thanks so much for helping us figure this out!

yeah, i'd thought it might've been a former shuttle bus once as well because of the E350 body but the windows placement and the interior (stock cabinets, appliances, & furniture) definitely tell a different story. based on what others have said and some googling, i'm definitely thinking it's a...

ha! if the snowpack doesn't last i think the 200 gallon water talk under the bed will take care of us! i wanted to wait until we got the former owner's junk out and did a first deep clean before taking interior pics but i'll be sure to post some after this weekend!

hey everyone! this past weekend my boyfriend and i bought this beast. it's a 1995 Ford E350, v8, 87k miles, runs great, no rust to speak of. really looking forward to the renovation process and getting on the road come August! in all of my research, i have basically never seen an RV that looked...
