Robust Off-Grid Capability! Skip the campgrounds and fees. This is a premium, stand-up adventure van, built to a higher quality standard than the mass market offerings. Excellent condition, showing only minor signs of use. For 3 years I traveled, worked and lived off-grid for 99% of full-time ‘van-life’ in (sunny) Rocky Mountain, SW and Western states. Wintering in AZ for 2-3 months worked great. As a single woman I navigated safely with this van. I will miss it a lot but am settling into a new homeplace. I have really appreciated the Transit’s; acceleration, power on hills, and how well it handles in snow. I love the flexible ‘garage’ storage, awesome refrigerator, inner and exterior lights, induction burner. No propane needed in this rig. Great for adventuring and/or vanlife. I’ve been very very happy with this van!
