This prevents the air from getting under the panels at hi-way speeds.iRoamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13400959915555891647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684651866018493381.post-38168074334641642152013-06-08T22:07:44.174-05:002013-06-08T22:07:44.174-05:00I did a quick Google search and yeah, F30 is a Dod...I did a quick Google search and yeah, F30 is a Dodge chassis code. Strange. Mine says B30 and the VIN starts with a B on mine.<br /><br />My 78 Factory service manual says that VINs starting with F are Chrysler LeBarons. But then again, it says B is the Plymouth Caravelle (canada only). It says to refer to F and G carlines in the US if it starts with B. G is the Dodge Diplomat.<br /><br />So heck if I can figure out the VIN coding.<br /><br />Hmm, no, I haven't heard of him. I'll look him up.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304483910572653859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684651866018493381.post-46753583468364073782013-06-08T21:49:48.725-05:002013-06-08T21:49:48.725-05:00I lied.

He's been living/traveling in an explorer like yours and is on his way to Alaska right now.

You would think those that do that for a living would have it all figured out by now but it seems like they're always just winging it.<br /><br />And no mistake on the info. Check out the tag for yourself - http://bzoink.com/doortag.jpg<br /><br />The funny thing is all the VIN decoders I've tried online say I have an invalid VIN with the F3 in the beginning too. Even the ones that go back far enough.

So now I'm trying to hurry and get everything done and sell the rest of my stuff.<br /><br />Heck, i found out from the guy buuying the house before the realtor told me... by a few hours.<br /><br />Are you sure it says F30? Is it a Dodge? Could you be mistaken and it says B30?Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304483910572653859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684651866018493381.post-38831340530924633202013-06-08T19:14:34.627-05:002013-06-08T19:14:34.627-05:00Looking good, Cubey!

I've had just the tape alone on the solar panels on my van since November driving 50 miles a day and so far up to 85 mph at times with 8 inches of snow on them.<br /><br />And I finally looked at my motorhome today. Under the hood it says mb300 and on the door tag it says F30.Driveby Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525536528453533318noreply@blogger.com
