My mom and I built this van into a home on wheels over the fall of 2021. I lived in it from December 2021 to February 2023, traveling all over the American West and Baja Mexico in it. It was built with love and I recently did a major refresh for the new owner including fresh paint on all the cabinets and revising some of the systems to work better after learning from experience.
I am only selling because my next chapter is calling and I will be starting graduate school in the fall to become a counselor. I am excited to find a new owner who will love this van as much as I have.

MECHANICAL DETAILS
- Clean Title
- FWD
- Diesel Engine
- NEW Rear Brakes (dealership replaced)
- NEW Diesel Particulate Filter (dealership replaced)
- Recent and Regular Oil Changes Since I’ve Owned
- Tires have life in them
- Some scratches and minor bumps on the exterior of the vehicle
- Bluetooth phone and music player in cab
- No A/C currently
I will include the refurbished A/C compressor the dealership gave me when I purchased if you want to get it installed, I just never did.
- Tire Pressure Sensors do not currently function.
It’s a simple fix that I just never did because I checked the tire pressure manually.
Just had a mechanic look at it, they say it is minor and doesn’t need to be taken care of any time soon, just to keep an eye on it
- Backup camera functions well but the warning light is on
“service parking assist” (this is because the back bumper was bumped and the sensor got a little out of place)
The check engine light has come on now and then since I have owned the vehicle. Many of these were related to the DPF system which was fully replaced at a dealership this spring. I’ve also replaced various sensors and I’ve addressed any CEL identified by my mechanics.
