Custom AWD Chevy Express Hightop Camper Van (All-Season Adventure Ready!)
Currently in South Florida, heading up the East Coast to Connecticut by late November— could arrange a meet or drop-off along the route!

This one-of-a-kind 2007 Chevy Express 1500 AWD Hightop Camper Van is a true four-season adventure rig — built for snow, sun, and everything in between. Whether you’re chasing powder in the mountains or sunsets by the beach, Donna’s your cozy rolling cabin.
Asking: $22,000 OBO

💫 The Vibe
Donna has heart. Every inch of her was built with care and creativity — from the cedar walls to the forest-green cabinetry. It’s a van that feels cozy, and adventurous all at once.
She’s not a $100k Sprinter, but she’s a reliable, soulful, DIY home-on-wheels and still has room for your own projects if you love to tinker.
⚠️ Notes
• Small dent on lower left side (old, pre-build; cosmetic only).
• Fiberglass hightop has a textured DIY wrap — looks great, no wear or discoloration.
• Everything functions, though like any van, she’ll reward a hands-on, loving owner.
🚗 Logistics
Currently parked in South Florida and heading north along the East Coast by late November.
I’m open to:
• Video walk-throughs
• In-person showings
• Delivery or meet-up along the route (possibly even westward, depending on timing and agreement).
Happy Vanning,
Nauana
