2020 Ford Transit 250 AWD 148WB Low Miles

Dropping the price significantly to get my driveway back. You won’t find a better deal.

Unique DIY AWD Transit Conversion Van – Perfect for the Right Buyer

This conversion van has been on multiple coast-to-coast trips, serving primarily as a vacation camper, so it boasts surprisingly low mileage. We’re parting with it because our family has outgrown its two-seat capacity, but it’s ready for its next owner—someone with a solid grasp of electronics, given its custom-built features.

It’s got a Murphy-style bed with a space that could be used as a cat box area or storage. The interior glows with bright, dimmable white LED puck lights in the ceiling, paired with custom RGB accent lighting for ambiance.

The power setup is 300ah of lithium (3x Battleborn BB10012 batteries), charged up by over 400 watts of rigid solar panels on a sturdy aluminum rack, managed by a Victron MPPT 100V 50A charger. It’s also got a Victron TR Smart DC2DC charger pulling from the alternator, plus shore power compatibility via a Victron MultiPlus II 3000w Inverter Charger. There’s even a backup Victron TR Smart DC2DC charger to tap the house battery and solar to jump the main battery in a pinch. Monitor it all with the Victron SmartShunt. The AC power runs to multiple outlets across two circuits, strong enough for the water heater or air conditioner (though probably not both at once).

For entertainment: an AudioControl D-6.1200 amp, six Kicker 6½-inch speakers, a generic Android TV feeding multiple monitors via an HDMI switch box, plus a DVR and cameras for security.

Currently fitted with the Starlink flat high performance mobile (marine) networking equipment.

Living essentials include an Iceco JP50 12v fridge/freezer, a ProGear RV water pump, a Bosch 2.5-gallon electric mini-tank water heater, and a Thetford toilet. Ventilation comes from a MaxxAir MaxxFan 00-07500K , while a Recpro RP-AC2801-B-KT air conditioner keeps things cool. I also have Terrawagon vents that go in the front windows and a custom Transit Bugwall rear screen with privacy insert and a versatile Lagun table mount system round out the setup.

This is a DIY build, sold AS-IS with no warranty. It has been in a minor accident that deployed the airbag—professionally repaired with new airbags and seat belts via Geico, but it shows on the Carfax. Modifications are minimal—just roof holes for wiring, the fan, and AC—everything else bolts to factory mounts.

To those looking for an easy no-maintenance campervan, this isn’t it. Like all vehicles that bump, shake, heat and cool, you will need to maintain many parts of it. For some limited examples: the electrical and plumbing connections may need to be tightened or refreshed. Roof racks and solar panels need to have their bolts checked and tightened before trips. Places where holes are cut in the roof or wires go through may need to have additional sealant applied from time to time. The van has some insulation but could use more. The AC will run for a couple of hours off the solar and batteries, but you will need shore power if you need it to run constantly.

This van’s a gem for the right person: a tinkerer who appreciates its quirks and custom tech.
