This custom build has everything you need to live on the road in good style with ease and comfort. It's got all the necessary amenities to keep it simple on the road. I had a lot of fun dreaming it up and building out this rig utilizing as much repurposed wood from other carpentry jobs as possible. Designed to accommodate 2 + dog.
Japanese style "Shou Sugi Ban" burnt wood custom cabinets and beautiful live edge maple slab counter top with sink, gas stove and electric fridge, ceiling vent-fan, soft-catch drawers and sliding upper cabinets make for a functional kitchen.

Black-out inserts with magnets for rear windows and beautiful, thick, Japanese curtains up front for privacy and option for dark/light.
Powered by 355W of solar power, with 200AH AGM batteries and 1500W pure sine inverter. Multiple outlets and USB ports, LED overhead lights, 5-speed reversible ceiling fan, 42L electric fridge, Stainless steel under mount sink with electric pump. 7gal portable water storage, plus 10 Gal auxiliary water storage. Diesel parking heater (installed but not yet totally hooked up to fuel source).
Plenty of garage space for toys, tools and storage.

This rig is mechanically in sound shape, though it was in a collision before I bought it, I've had it looked over by Dodge dealership mechanics and other trusted mechanics including a family friend, all of whom confirmed the damage from the accident was to the body and was professionally repaired. The chassis and mechanical systems were all in perfect working order. I've put nearly 20,000 miles on it all across the country and only had to replace battery and air filter, and I've been diligent with oil changes every 5k.
It's an amazing vehicle and has granted me many good times at beautiful climbing destinations with dear friends and has landed me in Bellingham WA, where a new (more stationary) lifestyle is in effect. I'll be happy to see "Beluga" bestow some lucky, fellow traveler with good fortune on their journey.
