Vanlifers Are Parting Ways With Their Vans As The World Reopens

The Ford Transit Connect is not only a great platform for a rallycross car, but it makes for what looks like a cozy tiny camper, too!

The van features a bed to comfortably sleep two, a power bank for all your electronic charging needs, a Coleman grill (to make any adventure a delicious one!), a 30 can cooler, a food prep station with a cutting board, and 2 side storage cubbies for long weekend essentials.

Details: -4 cylinder -Gas -120k miles -Regular maintenance, 2 previous owners -Used it for deliveries, mostly highway miles. -Bought specifically for conversion and to be resold. -2 wheel drive -Local craftsmanship

Look closely and you’ll notice that this one doesn’t have much in the way for insulation, so it’ll either need insulation or avoid sleeping in it during the winter.

Here’s one with some floor space, but its low roof does mean that it isn’t much of a standing room.

If you’re not so much into a camper van built by a random person, here’s one that was professionally converted. It’s hard to beat these as they have awnings, sinks, microwaves, bathrooms, dishwashers and a real kitchen. Plus, you don’t have to deal with the oddities of someone else’s build.

These used to be super cheap, but now they often end up priced similar to a custom built camper van.

If vans are too small for you, a converted school bus (skoolie) is always an option! I chose this one because it wasn’t just converted and put up for sale. This one was actually lived in! Plus, it’s not for a crazy outrageous price.
