2016 Ford Transit High Roof Extended van with high end build. Designed and built for full-time vanlife, but also great for weekend adventures. Carefully built with the best quality components (Victron, Battleborn, Espar, etc.). Large amounts of water, solar, and batteries to keep you in the backcountry! Van Compass lift kit and suspension upgrades make a HUGE difference in ride quality and offroad prowess vs. the stock suspension and tires.
I am an engineer and built this van for myself to hike, ski, and live in – meaning that I cut no corners. Every detail was built to last – It is safe, functional, and reliable. I was never planning on selling, but now have new baby and need to make room. Van was barely used and is in excellent shape.
