V8 Vanlife RestoMod – Micro Living Stealth Mode (1 of 1)

This 30th anniversary edition of the Roadtrek 190 ‘popular’ has been renovated and restored to meet modern Vanlife demands. Unique for Vanlife is the power of a V8 not to mention the legendary 6.0 liter LS motor from Chevrolet. A full propane delete was accomplished to make this build fully electric with power for days!

This is now a 4-SEASON VAN with added insulation in the floor, interior water tank addition, and Webasto heater that runs from the gas tank.
