Video tour: https://youtu.be/7POB6bhGRdE Adventure/Work Van. Ford Transit 250 High Roof V6 3.7L 148in Wheelbase. 124k miles. Electrical * Roof Rack & Deck with retractable 750 Watts of Solar * 2kWh Battery & Solar Generator / Inverter. AC + Heating * Air Conditioning (this is a significant luxury actually, in full sun you can keep the van perfectly cool. Most vans don’t have enough solar panels to support this. And at night at a campground you can plug in and stay cool all night. Which means you won’t be miserable if you ever want to stay the night most places east of the Rockies) * On Demand Propane Water Heater 38k BTUs * Vented & Mounted externally. No risk of leaks poisoning the air while you sleep like most internally mounted systems. * Heated flooring (hydronic. Little luxuries like stepping out of bed on to a warm floor can make a huge difference when traveling) * Dual Propane Tank (automatically switches over when one tank is empty, easy swap/ fill at any lowes, Walmart, etc) Living Space * Full sized bed. (Japanese style folding mattress in there now but we used to have a 8in foam mattress in that spot so you’re not locked into any particular kind of mattress, just whatever suits you.) * Black out curtains * Lots of Built in storage cabinets. (This is another luxury, many vans have too little storage or the storage is too inaccessible, we’ve literally never had that issue) * Front passenger Swivel Seat with pivoting table * Dimmable lights, remote controlled lights Bathroom * Shower & Soaking Tub (combined with the on demand propane water heater you could take a luxurious hot bath in a remote location) * Extra Large 100 Gallon Water Tank. (Realistically unless you’re at your camp site you’ll almost never have it full because it’s over 800lbs full but it’s nice to have if you’re boondocking or just don’t want to fill your tank at the campsite everyday) * Composting Bucket Style Toilet Kitchen * Pivoting Sink * Wheeled kitchen island with fold out countertop extensions. (Removable / repositionable) * Freezer 120v * Fridge 12v (it’s nice to have the fridge between the seats when traveling so you can easily grab a drink or snack. At night we’ll transfer a couple of frozen water bottles from the freezer into the fridge to keep everything cool until morning. This split system allows us to take the fridge with us on picnics and other outdoor adventures.) Exterior * Telescoping mounts for hammocks, hanging chairs, awnings, etc * Towing hitch. * External storage cabinet Notes * Open layout : one of the nice things about the van is that you can still use it as a van, you can easily haul lumber, furniture, plywood and other large bulky items. * Flexible layout: often when we travel we prefer to eat out or are staying close to family and friends and don’t do a lot of cooking. In those cases we’ll leave the kitchen island at home and put in a love seat or other items that accommodate our particular trip. It’s nice to have options. * Insulated with Rockwool, foam, and a radiant barrier. * Custom “Live edge” wood shelves * Heavy duty waterproof vinyl flooring ? We purchased this van in 2021 as a cargo van from Penske and converted it to an RV that we’ve used to travel all over the USA. ? No engine or transmission issues. No error codes. ? It’s a living and traveling space that’s comfortable, beautiful, and intentionally versatile. Comfortable enough to live in, simple enough to keep you close to nature. ? Open layout: This van can be used for adventuring/camping/living, AND you can easily haul lumber, furniture, plywood and other large bulky items. ? Flexible layout: Easily swap out the kitchen counter for a love-seat or anything else you prefer. This van’s design emphasizes flexibility. ? Modular construction: Most items in the van can be found and swapped with big box store items (i.e., no waiting for a special order part to ship). ? Lightweight build: Choices were continuously made to opt for durable, lightweight materials. Converted vans that use heavy materials like excessive wood or tile will often overload themselves close to the gross vehicle weight rating. (You can see this by checking the rubber bump stop under the rear suspension. If there is a significant gap, you’re fine. But if your rubber bump stop is already touching your leaf springs then your van is too heavy, requiring an expensive suspension upgrade.) ? Ford vs Mercedes/Dodge/Nissan etc.: A good friend who is a mechanic advised us to get a Ford for ease of repair should that ever be necessary. If you’re planning to travel in North America, finding someone to work on a Mercedes, Dodge/Fiat, or Nissan could prove difficult, while Ford parts and knowledge-base are widely available. That being said, we have never had to seek out any repairs on this van since purchasing it in 2021. ? Roof adjustments: We initially installed a skylight. However, it brought in excess heat unless parked under shade, and we ultimately decided extra solar power was more important. The skylight is covered now. We did love the natural morning light the skylight brought in so if you’re comfortable with a little less solar power, one solar panel could be removed to restore this feature. ? Why are we selling?: Our family is growing and our priorities are shifting. But this was a perfect van for two adults and a large dog. It allowed us to see so many beautiful places in this world, and the experiences it brought us were worth every cent we’ve invested in it.
