I built this van over roughly four months in 2019 with the intention of keeping it for years. Recently I started refreshing a few systems, but decided I’d rather move on to another project than finish the remaining cabinetry and cosmetic work.
This is a one-owner van with just 39,500 miles, a clean title, no accidents, and no rust. It’s been extremely reliable throughout ownership and has only needed routine maintenance. A new 300Ah LiFePO₄ battery was installed about a year ago.
The build is unfinished, but fully functional. It can be used for camping today while leaving plenty of room for someone to finish or customize the interior however they want.
Most of the labor-intensive work has already been completed, including:
Extensive sound deadening and insulation throughout (Kilmat/Dynamat, spray foam, polyiso, and sheep’s wool)
Tongue-and-groove ceiling
Framed walls
Side window with vent
MaxxAir roof fan
Murphy bed (54″ x 80″, 8″ memory foam)
Butcher block countertop
Sink with foot-pump water system
Fresh and gray water stored in removable jerry cans
Large utility cabinet originally designed as shower enclosure (plumbing and drain/pump still installed)
The electrical system includes:
New 300Ah LiFePO₄ battery
Renogy 200W solar
Renogy MPPT solar charge controller
Battery isolator for charging while driving
Renogy 2000W inverter
Blue Sea fuse panel
Multiple USB and 12V outlets
Dimmable LED ceiling lights and additional LED strip
Dometic refrigerator
Exterior upgrades include:
Roof rack with crossbars
Roof basket
Ski/snowboard carrier
Toyo Open Country A/T tires with 10-15K miles of tread remaining
The remaining work is primarily finish carpentry and cosmetics:
Lower cabinet doors and drawers
Upper cabinets
Shelving Interior trim and molding
Backsplash
Paint or finish work
Or redesign the layout entirely if you have a different vision.
I think this van is ideal for someone who wants to skip hundreds of hours of the difficult work. The insulation, electrical, wiring, roof penetrations, flooring, and major systems are already complete. You can start using it immediately while finishing it exactly the way you want.
I’m happy to answer questions, provide additional photos, and walk through every system on the van. I also have a detailed spreadsheet documenting the major components used during the build. I’ll also include the propane tank, camp stove, heavy-duty 120V extension cord, snow chains, emergency bucket toilet with seat (never used), telescoping ladder, and various hardware and fittings for anyone wanting to build out a more permanent water or propane system—all at no additional cost.
