LAYOUT BENEFITS
- High Roof Interior – lots of standing headroom.
- Drivers Cab Access from front compartment to interior space w/ privacy curtain.
- Unobstructed Views – we chose not to do upper cabinets, or permanently panel the windows so the view is awesome from anywhere in the interior with the doors closed – we found this a huge benefit when living/working out of the van, especially when rainy/cold, to not feel cooped up. It’s open and spacious while remaining a stealth camper on the exterior with stock windows.
- Extra seating + super social layout around the wood stove – you can seat 7 people inside plus more on the fixed bed! This was our favorite highlight – we were so happy with the layout we chose – countless times we hosted people, cooking dinners and having friends hang with us, retreating from the weather!
- You can sleep a third person on the floor.
HISTORY
The van was purchased, new, directly from Ford. My husband did a custom build from the best products available. He’s an engineer and studied aviation mechanics so has a full understanding of DC electrical. We lived out of the van for a couple of years, drove it across the country multiple times and have looked after it extremely well as we had intended to own this for many more years.
Due to changes in family circumstances, we decided to make a move overseas. This van has been a pivotal part of our lives. It provided us with amazing opportunities to adventure while living and working remotely. We’re excited for someone new to take over the dream of van-life with the freedom to go and explore wherever you want!
OPPORTUNITIES
All systems are ready to go!
If you like, there are still opportunities for you to have fun and add your own design touches to make it feel like your style, and this can even add value to the van!
For example, the bathroom/toilet area can easily be turned into a pop up interior shower area. It was originally intended to be a shower pan/floor but after using the van we found we never needed an indoor shower (it’s so easy to find showers on the road or have a gym membership).
You can buy really good collapsible systems these days too. A hot water system can be added easily to existing systems.
Because we left so much space in the rear garage you could also design some slide out options; an outdoor kitchen, fold out table/seating or more storage options etc.
If you’re thinking about taking the leap into van-life, or just looking for a rad weekender with lots of space but don’t want the hassle of driving around a massive RV that’s hard to park and store, then a full size van is your solution. It can be parked in one parking spot and is under the length limits for some of the tighter National Park roads and most parking lots. It can save you money in campgrounds where you can pay for a camping spot and avoid expensive hook-up spots.
Feel free to reach out and ask questions, we’re happy to help and can set up an in person viewing or video call at your convenience. Thanks for taking the time to look! :)
