This van is LEGIT turn key ready to go for any and all adventures you want to get yourself into. No expense spared on the highest quality in materials and products. My wife and I built and have lived in The Desert Cruiser (name of the van) for a little over 2 years full time. Never has it let us down, everything has worked flawlessly since the day we built and we are very sad to see it go! But we are upgrading to something bigger for future family travels and want to see our first home go to someone that will use it and love it like we do! You better stay in touch with us if you buy the van
This rig is incredibly capable taking us to some of the most gorgeous places in the Western US, don’t think you need 4X4 as this thing can hit the trails hard! See our instagram @thedesertcruiser for some of the awesome places we have gone!
I will happily FaceTime any serious buyers, answer all your questions etc.
