ford dearborn class B

[jay swartz]

hello
new to forum and was wondering if anyone has heard of or actually owns a "dearborn' class B camper. it is on a ford F250 and looks and awful lot like a "horizon". it is not an extended van. it has a 5.0 engine and i was wondering what type of mpg i might expect. any links or info would be appreciated since i cannot find anything when i search for dearborn camper. thank you

Hi Jay,

I don't know what year this van is but the Dearborn was made by Coachmen. The van is a Ford Econoline E-250. The 5.0 is the reliable ford 302, which was a good motor. Don't know what mileage you can expect on a class b, but was good in half-tons. Maybe someone else might know more about the van than me. I think the camper part is a fiberglass turtle-top. I've seen some advertized a while back, mostly 89-91 vintage. Hope this helps.
Brian
