2018 Ford Transit 2WD

For Sale: Reliable, Compact Camper Van – Perfect for Solo Vanlife (Under 18 ft, Proven Full-Time Ready) This cozy, well-built camper van has been my reliable home on the road for 5 full years of full-time travel and adventure. I’m only selling because I’ve settled into a stationary place and no longer camp or travel as much. It’s ideal for someone 5’7″ or shorter who wants a comfortable, no-fuss living space that’s easy to park and maintain.

Key Features & Layout:

1. Spacious & Smart Storage — Tons of built-in drawers, cabinets, and large under-bed storage for gear, clothes, food, and everything you need. Plenty of room to stay organized without feeling cramped.
2. Comfortable Sleeping — Super-comfy bed setup that’s been perfect for long-term living. Great insulation keeps it warm in cooler weather.
3. Power & Off-Grid Capability — 1000W Jackery portable power station handles lights, fan, water pump, and small appliances easily (I rarely needed shore power). Includes a 100W roof solar panel charging an interior battery for daily essentials. Shore power hookup available for running a space heater or other AC needs when plugged in. Multiple outlets work when connected to shore power.
4. Heating & Cooling — No built-in A/C, but a 3-speed roof vent fan keeps the interior cool and prevents heat buildup — kept my dog comfortable during errands even in warmer weather. For cold nights without shore power, I relied on engine heater (when driving), hot water bottles, a low-power electric blanket, plus down/wool layers and sleeping bag — worked great for winter camping. Simple and efficient!
5. Water & Utilities — Fresh and gray water tanks tucked under the bed. Water pump for sink use.
6. Privacy & Safety — Sturdy cage divider between cab and living area provides excellent security and privacy.
7. Bathroom Solution — Used a compact folding toilet with disposable bags — easy, discreet, and trash-friendly (no black tank to deal with).
8. Maneuverability — Under 18 feet long, so it parks easily in standard lots, campsites, or urban spots without hassle.

Mechanical & Maintenance:

1. Runs strong and reliable with regular oil changes throughout its life.
2. New tires installed in October 2025.
3. New spark plugs.
4. Always well-maintained — ready for its next adventure.

This van isn’t a luxury build with all the bells and whistles (no fridge or A/C), but it’s honest, practical, and battle-tested for real vanlife. I loved its simplicity — focus on the essentials, easy to drive, and low-maintenance. Great starter rig for someone wanting to hit the road without complexity, or a compact option for weekend warrior. If you’re looking for an affordable, proven van that’s comfortable and ready to go, this could be perfect. Serious inquiries welcome — happy to share more details, photos, or answer questions!
