2019 Ford Transit 250 High Roof Custom Built Adventure Van
To start – I have maintained this vehicle by changing the engine oil every 3,000 miles with top-quality Pennzoil full synthetic oil and the changing the transmission fluid and filter every 30,000 miles with OEM fluid. I have personally travelled in this van to Yosemite, Zion Canyon, Yellowstone, Lake Tahoe, Grand Canyon and several more adventure road trips. The van has performed flawlessly every time because I have taken extremely good care of it and drive it very carefully.
I designed this van to have all the necessities of life and plenty of easily accessible storage/closet space. The van was custom-built by a professional home builder with 25 years of experience. The van is fully insulated (walls and ceiling) with R-13 level insulation; I have personally lived through three cold California winters in this van. The custom wood paneling gives it a warm country-home type feeling. The fixed bed is raised high enough to allow for full-size bicycle storage (two or more bicycles, if needed) beneath the bed; there is no need to ever dis-assemble your bicycle because there is plenty of space underneath the bed for a full-size road bike (or more if you needed). The bed is queen size and measures approximately 6 feet tall by 5 feet wide – plenty of space for two adults to sleep comfortably. There is enough floor space underneath the bed for a mattress for two more individuals (if needed). There is a special wide shelf for storage just above the fixed bed (books etc.). The shelves underneath the bed have enough room for a closet-full of clothing for any journey (hanger space as well).
There is a Maxx-Air Deluxe fan in center of the roof just above the fixed bed to breathe comfortably at night – it is fully adjustable (more air or less).
The van has a professionally installed roof rack from Flatline Van Co. and TWO fixed Inergy Solar Storm 100-watt solar panels and an Inergy Apex PowerStation Lithium battery with an built-in inverter (you can use any household A/C appliances in the van). Enough power to work a comfortable 8-hour day on my laptop with two screens from the solar electricity. Built-in electrical LED lighting in the ceiling with a regular household light switch; it is dimness-adjustable so you can pick how bright it is inside. There are two propane cook-tops and an Olympian Wave 3 propane heater. There is a convenient sink with gravity-fed flowing water (from a 7 gallon water container) for all kitchen needs (dish washing, washing hands etc.).
Additionally, this van has a built-in hidden Sentry Safe (bolted to the frame of the vehicle) with enough space for laptops, passports, money, valuables etc. The bed has a Toshiba 16 inch television with a built-in DVD player to watch your favorite DVDs or TV shows. A convenient shoe-rack is placed at the entrance; put on your hiking shoes/dress shoes/walking shoes right as you need them. Underneath the bed is a built-in clothing drying rack (in case you ever need to dry some wet clothes).
The van comes with a permanently working Viofo A119 V3 dash-cam which is connected to the solar powered battery (NOT the car’s main engine battery) so it works 24/7. The van comes with a Thetford Marine 565E Curve Portable Toilet, which is very comfortable to use and convenient to dispose of the waste.
Overall, this is a great van with a proven record of reliability and active recreational life. The only reason I am selling this vehicle is that I got married; Unfortunately, we just don’t have much time to use it anymore. We plan to have children soon. Congratulations to the next owner!
