If you’re looking for a gorgeous low-mileage, off-grid, 4-season camper van designed for both full and part time adventures then you’re in the right place! The title is clean, the van is accident-free, and the van is ready for its next adventure (we’re planning for a family, which is the reason for the sale).
The van was purchased brand new and built entirely by us (one of whom is a civil engineer). The van has been our trusty adventure rig for the past 3.5 years, traveling from the deserts of Arizona to the snow in North Cascades National Park and Mt. Bachelor, Bend. The van is built for comfortable 4 season use, on or off-grid. We’ve spent up to 3 months at a time living in the van and find it to be spacious and comfortable in all seasons for two people.
LISTING HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights of the build include: a full indoor shower and toilet, 2 swivel seats, high output/high elevation-compatible heater that taps directly into the gas tank, tons of counter space for cooking and working, a generous 3 cubic foot (84 liter) 12 volt refrigerator with freezer, 600 watts of rooftop solar, HUGE garage big enough for bikes, a full size bed with bunk windows on both ends for ventilation, and new all terrain tires (snowpeak rated).
Clean title. Low mileage (45,000 miles). The van was purchased new and converted by the current owners.
For more information, or to schedule a showing, please email gwynandami[at]gmail.com. The van is located in Spokane, Washington. Delivery available for the Portland or Seattle metro area (deposit required), as well as the Washington and Idaho regions surrounding Spokane.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
This electrical system met all of our needs for working from and living in our camper van full time while off grid! The electric hot water heater is the biggest electrical draw, but we were still able to take hot showers almost every evening, even in winter when there is less solar. While the system was designed to be fully off-grid (the batteries can be charged via the alternator AND the solar), we also included a shore power hookup (which we rarely used).

LAST BUT NOT LEAST: SOME NOTES ON THE VIDEO TOUR
Attached to this listing is a rad video tour! I want to note that this video was filmed in April 2022 and we have since made a few awesome upgrades. They include the following:
- A year ago we swapped the butcher block countertops for stylish and ultra-durable PaperStone, which includes a pop-up countertop behind the driver’s seat. You can read more about our countertops here: https://gwynandami.com/the-best-countertops-for-van-life/
- We have also majorly upgraded our van’s heater system by switching from a Webasto unit to an Eberspächer Airtronic B4L AM3 12v (4kW). You can read more about why we made the switch (and why the Eberspächer Airtronic is so awesome!) here: https://gwynandami.com/the-best-heater-for-van-life-eberspacher-vs-webasto/
- We no longer have a table for between the driver and passenger seats.
