Flexible on price, but must go through bank for the loan.<\/p>\n
I bought this van so my partner, dog, and I could travel the country with our remote jobs.
\nHowever, I no longer have a remote job, and have very limited use of this wonderful van. I want to find it a good home.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve named this van Ruby the Wanderer because she is tough, fearless, and powerful enough to take you wherever you need. In the year that I\u2019ve owned her, I have taken her on some amazing adventures. From powder days at ski resorts, to beachside sunbathing. We had been stuck in subzero blizzard weather near Fargo over Christmas, and we stayed warm as a bug and she had no problems handling the road conditions. I\u2019ve also taken her to Moab, UT, far into the wilderness, through some crazy back roads and she held up marvelously! She handles backroads, highways, and mountain inclines like a champ!<\/p>\n
I bought this van from a couple of engineers who custom-built her to the nines. They took care to build it out as carefully and thoughtfully as possible. The cables are all labeled (cablep0rn is real!) and there\u2019s an outlet everywhere you need one. I talked with the previous owners extensively to ensure I was getting a good setup, and they certainly set me up for success.<\/p>\n
—-Functionality\/Layout—-
\nThe previous owners built this van to serve their lifestyle. They created a space that allowed 2+ people to work remotely from the van and to be able to take video calls without being right on top of each other. There are two separate workspaces within the van for this reason. I\u2019ve had 3 people in this van all on calls at the same time. With the separate spaces, we honestly had no troubles at all, with connection, power, or volume.<\/p>\n
The previous owners built this to accommodate two dogs who traveled with them. I have one dog and he was a very big fan. There\u2019s storage space in the \u201cgarage\u201d for skis and also built a wardrobe to hold ski gear among various other clothing items. Below the wardrobe is the slideout composting NaturesHead toilet; conveniently located between the two workspaces so that it doesn\u2019t interfere with anyone’s working day. There is a large cabinet running the length of the whole van which stores clothes, pantry items, toiletries, coffee supplies, and more.<\/p>\n
They built the van with the intention of having enough solar so that 2+ people could both work remotely and have enough power to run an Air Fryer (I opted to buy an electric stove that I\u2019ll include). There\u2019s a huge farmhouse sink that is very versatile; from stashing dishes while driving to washing your hair if needed. The two front van seat swivel to create a nice \u2018living room\u2019 space in the front. I\u2019ve had 6+ people playing a board game during a storm and it was still surprisingly spacious with the thoughtful layout.<\/p>\n
The van heater was thoughtfully placed under the bench seat behind the driver’s seat. This is beneficial if one person runs cold and the other runs warm and prefers to have the ambient heat. They spent significant time insulating the van to ensure it would be comfortable in both warm and cold temperatures. I can attest, it is surprisingly AMAZING in both the summer and winter months **chef’s kiss**<\/p>\n
There is ample storage throughout the van. Under each built in seat, there\u2019s a huge storage area. The garage is very large and well laid out. Fro tables, one bench seat is set up with a lagun mount and a bigger overall desk and the other bench seat has a custom desk space that slides into the wall when you want to use it. The van is completely off-grid. We\u2019ve comfortably stayed a week (or as long as our food and water supply would allow) on BLM land with beautiful views.<\/p>\n

\nOur van was configured for two people to live and work full-time. We have 840W of solar power on the roof and 400aH of battery power to charge laptops, run an air fryer, and do anything else you need from an electrical perspective. The LiBim charges the batteries while you drive.
