With over 17 years’ experience in design, engineering, boat building, welding and fabrication, as well as several years in van building, you can be assured this is not a typical DIY van for sale as most are these days. Many hours of engineering and thought went into this van to keep it as lightweight as possible, while keeping the highest structural integrity needed for each application. Keeping every aspect as light as possible ensures better drivability, optimal fuel economy and longevity on the van’s drivetrain.
The spray foam insulation is by far the highest R-value of any other insulation options (4x +) and also serves as great sound deadening.
With a massive water supply and built-in water purifier, you can be sure to have plenty of clean drinking water for extended camping trips.
