2020 Nissan NV200 Camper Van: Fully Converted, Insulated, and Adventure-Ready
Located in Norfolk, Virginia
SEE VIDEO TOUR BELOW
If you’re looking for a compact, fully built camper van that’s ready to hit the road, this 2020 Nissan NV200 is a gem. I thought it was a gem when I bought it, and still do, but with recent life changes am trading in the road-tripping lifestyle for a different type of nomad lifestyle that’s heavier on walking & public transport. Designed for a solo traveler, but could potentially be converted for two, it balances efficiency, comfort, and stealth, with surprising storage space for backpacks, fishing, hunting and camping supplies.
Key Features & Highlights
- Mileage: 72,800 miles — excellent mechanical condition.
- Fully converted: Insulated panels finished in wood, beautiful sealed wood countertop.
- Power & Electronics: 12V battery system with a Samle 1000 DC-AC inverter.
- Smart storage: Velcro-lined compartments keep gear secure during travel; enough space for mid-large backpacks, photography lighting equipment, and a moderately large cooler on the floor. Hooks for hanging items, exposed metal panels for magnetic storage items.
- Comfort & usability: Window tint on driver and passenger sides (specifications legal in Virginia). Custom layout optimized for solo travel. Privacy screen between front and back. Ceiling fan vent with remote and temperature control for cooling off on hot days. Insulated panels are effective for sleeping in cold. 4 inch mattress. Passenger seat folds down to be used as small table/desk. USB and other ports near bed. Small sink with electric pump.
- Safety: Carbon Monoxide detector in back.
- Recent maintenance: Rear tires, struts, and brake components replaced within the past year. Oil changed regularly throughout van’s history. In late Dec had a full CVT transmission service & fluid replacement, a pre-purchase inspection, recall addressed to reroute sensor harness, and oil change.
Bonus Gear Included
I’m including camping and van-specific gear tailored to fit this van’s layout if desired:
- Emergency battery charger/power bank
- Brand-new triangular food storage containers (fit under-sink storage with velcro)
- Lightly used small camp stove with propane tanks
- Two Tupperware containers that fit under-bed storage
- Custom windshield shade blocking most light
- Stretchy netting for extra storage
- Additional storage panel for back of driver’s or passenger’s seat.
- Never-used collapsible toilet with bags
Why This NV200 Stands Out
- Perfect for solo adventurers: Everything is within reach, thoughtfully arranged for comfort and efficiency.
- Stealthy & efficient: Easy to drive, compact enough for city streets, and excellent highway fuel economy (~26 mpg).
- Ready to roll: No DIY projects needed - everything is complete and functional.
Minor Notes
- Glove compartment latch is slightly sticky but still functional.
- Rear 12V battery has been replaced twice due to user error (leaving switches on); the electric system itself is fine.
- Pre-purchase inspection: conducted at a dealership for a potential buyer on 26DEC2025 (buyer’s loan applications fell through:( The van passed with flying colors with a thorough inspection. Recommended maintenance items in the near future: brake fluid replacement ($110), and coolant system service within next 11 months/30K mi - whichever comes first ($146)
Ownership Story
- 3 owners in the past 2 years: a trusted family-owned Virginia Beach dealership, a young military veteran who paid a contractor to convert for solo travel before tiring of the vanlife, and myself.
- I’ve loved this van, but life circumstances are shifting with having health challenges; I’m moving toward a car-free lifestyle and passing this gem on to someone who will enjoy and maximize this beautiful conversion.
Ideal For
- Weekend adventures or longer road trips
- Solo van life or minimalistic travel
- Camping, photography, or digital nomad setups
This NV200 is ready for adventure, with thoughtful design, quality conversion, and extra gear included. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, compact camper with all the essentials and a thoughtfully designed space, then this van might be your next travel companion.
