We are selling our tiny home on wheels. We bought this 2011 Chevrolet ex-ambulance in British Columbia and converted it into a completely off-grid motorhome in 2020.
**PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST BEFORE MESSAGING**
This van has been our full-time home for 2.5 years and we are selling it to start our next tiny home build.
Completely fitted for off-grid full-time van life, this van is also a sweet weekend camper with some RV park friendly features. Here are the specs:
_241xxx miles__ - maintained every 5,000km by the province of British Columbia guidelines, and every 5,000km hereon after by us at various mechanics - all invoices and proof of care can be provided.
Brand new battery installed with a 1 year warranty
8 Cylinder GAS Engine
Electrical:
2 x 315 Watt Solar Panels, run in series providing 630 Watts of solar
2 x Deep Cycle AGM batteries - bought in 2020
650 Watt Inverter in the electrical box
450 Watt Inverter in the cab
Kitchen:
Manual Plumbing System - foot pump setup with 5 gallon water system, extra water cans can be provided (we store extra water in the back of the van)
Induction Stove installed - only operates on shoreline power*
For off grid cooking, a portable camping stove can be provided
12V Aspenora chest-style fridge
Collapsible table for indoor OR outdoor use
*we can throw in two BRAND NEW lithium batteries from Ohmmu - if you were to upgrade the battery bank with these batteries and outsource a larger inverter, this induction stove could run on solar. The value of these batteries is $2,000 USD (about 2.8k CAD)
Bathroom:

Hooks on the back of the van to hang a solar shower. Solar shower can be provided.
Bedroom:
Full size queen sized fixed bed, with room at the end for storage

A/C unit in the box of the van is built in, but not connected
1 x Electric Heater that operates on shoreline power
1 x Heater under the bed that runs on coolant
About 7 feet wide and 14 feet in length - if you are taller than 5’7” you will not be able to stand up straight in the van.
My wife is 5’3” and can stand on her toes, I’m 6’0” and have to bend my knees to stand.

PLEASE READ:
The Check Engine Light is perpetually on. This is due to a SLIGHT valve burn in the 4th cylinder. Brand new spark plugs were installed by a mechanic along with fuel injectors.
Head work would be required to fix the misfire - quoted at $3,000 - but as per the mechanics recommendation, we have not done this work as the misfire is so slight that head work is not really required.
The price listed is already heavily discounted to reflect this.
Again, these engines are very reliable and very easy to find parts for, etc. They are known to last 500km+.

In some of the photos, the paint chipping is not visible but please refer to the photos where it is visible to understand what the front exterior of the van currently looks like. This is very typical with Chevy vans.
$21,000 USD OBO - open to negotiations but please be mindful that this is our full-time home and unreasonable lowballs will be ignored
