2020 Ford Transit AWD Camper Van Conversion
In 2024 I designed and built a completely custom camper van from a blank Ford Transit 250 base. The van interior is a modular, reconfigurable design with components bolted into L-Track or mounted to extruded aluminum. It includes a 2 axis self leveling bed lift, 5kwh 12v/48v Power System with 3000w inverter, sink and water system, 80/20 aluminum cabinet framing, 400w solar, seating for 4 people, and fully insulated winter ready enclosure.
