This van is in mint condition, adorning $10K in improvements since purchased, and lowered by $10K from the original purchase, a $20,000 savings! Mechanically and in all other respects, running perfectly. Improvements include: tinted windows, 4 top-of-the-line studded snow tires, a whole-body cabin Webasto heater professionally installed, winterization undercoating, a brand new Goal Zero 3000 house battery with a fast-shore battery charger.

This cozy cabin-van on wheels was my full time home for three months, and now I can’t use it ): I’ve recently opened a local music teaching studio, so will be leaving van life. This van is a charm; it’s powerful, smooth, comfortable, fun to drive; walnut, cedar and pine warmth throughout. All decked out for home sweet home; or, perfect for your summer or winter excursions. Includes Webasto heater for efficient winter warmth. You have to drive it to believe it! Serious buyers/certified checks only please.

N.B. The photos that you see were taken by Casper’s first owner, Anna French, designer and photographer extraordinaire, and host of Spin the Globe Project. https://www.spintheglobeproject.com/ford-transit-van-conversion/. I purchased the van from her, and now she has happily agreed to allow use of her photos for my sale. She hopes Casper goes to a good owner and she would love to track the journey. Since purchasing, I’ve taken it on one, 3 month trip and am now selling it due to life changes. I have made several upgrades since Anna’s photos and videos were posted. All the best in your decision! Feel free to learn more about Casper’s journey from Anna at spintheglobeproject linked above.
