RARE LAYOUT / FLOOR PLAN BENEFITS
- Unobstructed Views – we chose not to do upper cabinets, or permanently panel the windows so the view is awesome from anywhere in the interior with the doors closed – we found this a huge benefit when living/working out of the van, especially when rainy/cold, to not feel cooped up. It’s open and spacious while remaining a stealth camper on the exterior with stock windows.
- Extra seating + super social layout around the wood stove – you can seat 7 people inside plus more on the bed! This was our favorite highlight – we were so happy with the layout we chose – countless times we hosted people, cooking dinners and having friends hang with us, retreating from the weather!
- High Roof Interior – lots of standing headroom.
- Drivers Cab Access from front seats to interior space w/ privacy curtain.
- You can sleep a third person on the floor.

HISTORY
The van was purchased, new, directly from Ford. My husband did a custom build from the best products available. He’s an engineer and studied aviation mechanics so has a full understanding of DC electrical. We lived out of the van seasonally for several years, drove it across the country multiple times and have looked after it extremely well as we had intended to own this for many more years.
Our family circumstances changed so we decided to make a move to my hometown in Australia. This van has been a pivotal part of our lives. It provided us with amazing opportunities to adventure while living and working remotely. We’re excited for someone new to take over the dream of van-life with the freedom to go and explore wherever you want!
Feel free to reach out and ask questions, we’re happy to help and can set up an in person viewing or video call at your convenience. Thanks for taking the time to look!
