The Custom Camper Build:
All metal surfaces gutted, sanded, cleaned, filled, primed, and painted anti-rust paint for superior water and weather resistance.
Silicone application between metal ribs and ceiling for strength.
Gap-filler insulation in all ribs and hard-to-reach places for extra insulation.
Fat Mat Rattle Trap Sound-Deafening Sheets on walls, ceiling, and floor.
2 inches of waterproof polyiso foam board insulation on ceiling for winter conditions.
1 and a half inches of waterproof polyiso foam board insulation on walls for winter conditions.
2 manual waterproof roof vents for proper ventilation, sealed with butyl tape, caulking, and permanent tape.
1 x 2 fir wood frames for walls and ceiling.
1/4" x 3.5" x 96" tongue-and-groove cedar planks on ceiling and doors, coated on BOTH sides with polyurethane for waterproofing.
Organic coffee burlap bags on all exposed metal for extra insulation and rustic look.
1/4" birch plywood on walls for flexibility and scratch-resistance, painted with weatherproofing white interior paint to make the van feel more spacious.
Custom-built green cabinets (2) with custom-cut, treated live edge Western red cedar countertop.
Stainless steel drop-down sink with piping system to 3-gallon gray-water tank.
Custom-build Douglas fir bed frame with custom high-quality memory foam mattress.
Water-resistant wool bats in doors for insulation.
1/2" plywood subfloor on top of pink foam board insulation.
1/2" tongue-and-groove walnut laminate flooring.
Insulated desert-scene curtains for back windows.
Custom-build dividing wall between front cab and camper area for safety and extra insulating qualities with locking door. Painted gray on cab-side for stealth.
2 manual roof vents for ventilation, one above bed.
The back and side doors cannot open from the inside but can from the outside. They lock and work normally besides that.
Will need a new belt and shocks eventually as well as some TLC from an oil change business (rear differential and transmission flush). All these fixes are under $1000.00 all together, which is why I lowered the price for this vehicle. Nothing needs to be changed asap, just kept in mind and done sooner than later. I have quotes from Happy Dane's Auto Shop, Les Schwab, and Valvoline Oil.
I lived in my beloved Abyss Van for a year when I first moved to Bend. I am only selling because I no longer need it now that I have a place to live here permanently with my partner. I worked very hard on this van and I am not in a rush to sell it. I hope it can go to someone considered a van life enthusiast, adventure seeker, or glamping extraordinaire!
