2016 Ford Transit Connect 2WD

A Purpose Built Off-Grid Machine

Let's be honest, most people are not living full time in their van. They want something to get off-grid for 3-5 day camping trips. This van was purpose built for this application. Despite fully electrical lighting, charging, venting, and running water, this thing sips electricity. The battery can last several days and can be easily re-charged with a drive into town or to your next campsite. I have never been in a situation where I'm concerned about battery power and you never need to plug in at a campsite. And just in case you find yourself at a campsite for 5 consecutive days, you can keep the battery topped up with solar power.

No Daily Driver Needed

This van was also intended to be a daily driver. Most campers are too big and clunky for daily use and require an extra car for daily life. With it's smaller size and fuel efficiency, this can be your only car for driving to work, driving to the ski resort, or driving to some remote, off grid campsite. It's a one size fits all vehicle.
