Description:
I built Vanna Black in the summer of 2019 and lived in her full-time, urban stealth and on the road, for 3 years. We’ve traveled coast to coast together and enjoyed beaches, mountains, and deserts. She has been my home, my office, and my buddy. Vanna has been very well taken care of and she has never let me down. I am sadly giving up van life and will be moving to Mexico this year. Vanna has been completely rebuilt from the floor up and is ready to go on adventures with her new owner(s) and get a new name! A neutral color palette means that you can really make her your own. She has a full size murphy bed in order to maximize floor space yet still has plenty of storage. I’ve also made upgrades to the robust electrical system including a 300Ah lithium battery and 3000 watt inverter. With a range of charging options – solar, shore, and alternator – as well as a cell signal booster and a generous fresh water supply, you can work or play almost anywhere. All-terrain tires will get you up a gravel incline or through a wash and still give you a smooth highway ride. The skylight is perfect for getting natural light while stealth camping and the dual roof fans ensure that you stay comfortable without opening a window. The fridge is big enough for a week’s worth of food or more and not having to find a public toilet or take a shower at a gym is *chef’s kiss*. I’ll miss being on the road with this lady but you’ll will enjoy wandering with her just as much as I have.
