Why we’re selling
We are photographers, husband & wife duo with 2 dogs, who explore the western U.S.—especially the greater Yellowstone area—and needed a portable home for our exploration. When we found this van & purchased it in fall 2022 it was exactly what we needed for our 2 to 3 week trips. Now that our journeys have grown into 2–3 month expeditions, we’re in need of just a bit more space—otherwise, we wouldn’t dream of parting with this rig.
