2019 Ford Transit High Roof Extended Body 3.5L Ecoboost thoughtfully planned out and built to be our dream van- all the comforts of a home including kitchen, shower, toilet, and plenty of storage for all your gear. This van is perfect if you plan to be a weekend warrior, venture long-term cross country, or even live/work in it full-time.
We purchased in August of 2020 with 13k miles from the original owner and meticulously built it out using premium materials before our first trip in June 2021. We are at 34k mi now so have averaged about 7k mi per year (we only use this as a weekend warrior or for the occasional 1-2 week vacation). Building out Stan the Van was the best decision we’ve ever made and we have made countless memories we cherish dearly. But, it is time to create new memories as we start a family, and unfortunately must part ways with our beloved Stan.
We are so heartbroken to have to sell it but would love for it to go to new owners that will love it as much as we do! We built this ourselves with lots of experience doing remodels/general contracting so it was built well and with care. The build is closely modeled after Faroutride (I even purchased their plans for reference) with a few things that we wanted to add and a slightly different layout. The electrical is the most similar part, with the addition of a shower etc.
Let us know if you have any questions! We happy to help or give you a tour in person or via FaceTime. We have lots of details about the build, including pictures, for those who want to know/see more. The van is ready to view and could be yours tomorrow!

There is a loan and the only way I'd feel comfortable with a transaction of this size is with a 3rd party (I have it listed on KeySavvy), or if we meet in the bank and deposit/payoff to get the affidavit in lieu of title and we go to the DOL together. The KeySavvy link is below.
