2020 Ford Transit AWD, Amazing Professional Van Conversion

Van life can be amazing - in the right van! This van was meticulously designed and then expertly built by Van Specialties in Portland (in business over 30 years). Top of the line components were used throughout, with an eye towards reliability and durability.

Why did we put so much effort in this vehicle? Because we lived in it for two years to explore every state in the country! We wanted something that was easy to drive AND easy to live in year around (think indoor shower, excellent galley, lots of storage, great bed).

We bought this Ford Transit new in 2020 right before the pandemic.
