New Yankee owner

 ·  Posted: 16.02.2014  ·  #1
Hi folks, got my 1995 ford E350 winnebago winnie minnie 23ft 7.5 lt petrol (lpg converted) last october. Love this yoke so much. I own a garage so have been able to do alot of work (mechanical) myself. Not sure if i can take her out this year as my missus is due a baby in a few weeks so if we do get out it wont be too far. She has only 49000 kilos on her and in mint condition. Only fault is with the temp gauge it is very erratic. Iv changed temp sensor to no affect so am waiting for new t-stat and ova bits to arrive from the states. I was in new york last october so was able to get alot of service item as cant source them here. Ill post pix shortly. Look forward to getting to know most of ye and meeting ye on out travels.

I really cant wait to get this thing on the open road and just head off. dont care where it ends up but just wanna go. but due to the demands of been a new business owner i cant find 5 mins to drink a cuppa not to mind take 2 weeks off. but ill do all i can to get away after baby is born. the missus is itchin to stock up the fridge and get some family time in. Hope to see ye all in the near future around the country.

And with a kerbside hab door too. That's very unusual for a yank wagon!

It looks the business Richard. Very nice!!!

I like the extra low level outdoor lighting that's fitted too... very cool.

Damn, we nearly have enough rv's on the site now that we could have an RV meet!!

The kerbside hab door yea, well as i can tell it was designed for the asian market so headlights were also same as irish vehicles as they drive on same side as us. Whoever owned it before me kept it in the dry every winter as ill be doing too. I need to put in a proper satellite system and fix a few bits and bobs but thats the part i love. Im never happy till im covered in grease. Guy at the doe test center said he has never seen a cleaner 95 vehicle underneath.

Looks great Richard. Noticed the habitation door on kerbside too Kevin. That's probably the first I have seen on the kerbside. Health to drive Richard
