I bought this van built out in early 2023, lived in it, working remotely in accounting for 6 months full time with my cattle dog, and have since used for trips – 2 weeks to AZ, 2 weeks to TN, a weekend to New Mexico, Moab, Chicago, all over Colorado – she’s been all over the place! I’m only selling because I no longer work remotely, and my partner has a 4×4 truck camper we use most often. I’ve never had any issues with this van, and would like to see it go to a good home that’s going to continue to use and take care of her. There is still tons of opportunity to customize, and further fit out the van. Reach out with any questions, or if you want to come take a look. I was nervous to drive this vehicle as a 27 yo female, but the mirrors, and back up camera make everything super visible! It runs well, and is easier to drive than you might think!
