2018 Ford Transit 4 Season Adventure Van – Professional Build

Professional Custom Built Adventure Van ready to take you on your next adventure. 

This rig is set up with lots of storage. Great for Rock Climbers, Nature Photographers, Divers, or, like me, Contractors.

What you see here is an accumulation of a year and a half of work into the design and build of a one off Adventure Van on a then brand new 2018 Ford Transit by a professional craftsman with 40 years of experience in the trades.

This vehicle was built to travel, explore back country and be self contained and has done just that. In fact, it’s done so well, I’m building a large Overland rig to explore even deeper and further.
