It is with great sadness that we (Mack & Aimee) are listing our sincerely loved, fully-converted Ford Transit 250 Extended van.
We have just completed a 10-month lap around the US & Canada and with our next move on the horizon, we must depart ways with our beloved home on wheels.
We purchased the van last year with most of the structural work already complete but we spent a couple of months upgrading and installing additional gear and appliances before departing on the journey. The original builder was a commercial electrician and Mack has done a number of off-road builds prior to working on this van.
Almost all of the bolt-on gear and additional included items have been purchased in the last 6-12 months (fridge, heater, WeBoost, roof vent fan.etc) and are in perfect condition (most still with warranties)
We have a timeframe of which we would like the van sold so we will not be holding the van for anyone, it will be sold on a first-come-first serve basis.
Serious enquirers only. Tire kickers will be ignored.
**Itemised list below***
We spent 8-months looking for this exact vehicle and layout. Here’s a few reasons we love it:
– The vehicle has zero rust, leaks or mechanical issues. We have maintained the full service schedule and have experienced zero mechanical issues during our ownership. Being a US made vehicle means servicing is inexpensive and parts are always available – essential if living/working on the road. The full vehicle history is available for download on CarFax.
– The petrol engine is incredibly reliable, quiet, smooth and doesn’t have any of the issues synonymous with diesels (no catastrophic engine failure with bad fuel/clogged injectors, no issues with clogged DPF, manifolds or need to regularly replace DEF fluid, no need to warm it up before driving and deal with the soot/engine noise.etc
– There is a 360-degree view from the windows. The main kitchen window swings up to provide a mini awning during heavy rain & snow to shed water and provide large airflow. The removable bug screen is also handy to pass items through the window without opening the sliding door
– The bed runs front-to-back to ensure equal access for 2 people in and out of bed (no crawling over the other person). Each side has their own identical reading light & USB port, shelf, window, cupboard and basket for personal storage and configuration
– 400W of solar with a DC-DC charger means seemingly infinite power (we have never fully drained the batteries and power is never on our minds)
– The combination of the 4-season magnetic window covers and a fully-insulated van means there is usually a 50 degree difference between the inside and out on cooler nights (without a heat source)
– The instant hot water system is plumbed into the sink providing 3 shower options. 1: Directly off the back where the unit is mounted, 2: Outside the main sliding door using the pull-down kitchen sprayer or 3: Internally using the sprayer with the internal shower pan. Each connection uses a standard shower hose and has 2 extension lengths for even more configurations. We include a pop-up shower tent for showering externally and a collapsible shower curtain for the internal shower pan.
– Not having a dedicated full-height shower stall provides far greater internal space and means 2 people can move about with significantly more freedom and ease – great for maintaining a healthy relationship on the road 😉 (we have also built a removable telescopic pee pipe that slots into the shower drain for super-easy number 1s in the night)
– We consider the BFGoodrich K02 tires the best 4-season (snowflake stamp) all-terrain tire on the market. Granting alpine access in the winter and amazing on and off-road traction (essential for public lands/BLM camping)
– The combination of all-terrain tires, a 20,000LB winch, 4x recovery boards and recovery straps mean you can get yourself out of almost any trouble and access roads and campsites most RVs can’t.
– The 22-23ft length (depending on hitch rack/fuel cans.etc) means you can park in most standard parking lots with a slight overhang. If parking with the front hanging over a gutter it will fit perfectly and if hanging the rear over it will tuck well within the standard length. No need to walk your groceries to the far back corner of the parking lot!
– 22ft is also the maximum limit for vehicles in many National Park roads. We have explored over 20 National Parks and have never missed out on accessing any areas of National or State parks.
– Finally, Mack is 6’2” (on a good day) and his head does not touch the lowest points in the ceiling (AC unit & smoke alarm) so there is plenty of headroom for most people.
