Description

Looking for a simple, road-ready van with low miles? This 2018 Ford Transit is a great entry-level build—clean, well-kept, and ready to hit the road without needing a bunch of work.

This is a DIY conversion with solid bones. The walls and floor are in good shape, and the electrical system was professionally installed and recently reviewed by The Vanlife Collective here in Hood River.

It’s set up to sleep two (fixed full-size bed, east/west orientation) and seat two. It’s a clean slate that’s already usable—and if you want to upgrade it further, we’ve got options.
