4 Season Off-Grid Home - 2018 Ford Transit Campervan

Ford Transit 2018 campervan – newly converted off-grid home

Converted in 2023, I’m selling our Ford Transit campervan (Big Sue*) with everything you need for off-grid living. Complete with Scandinavian-style birch-ply interiors, a king-size bed, a kitchen including stovetop and full-sized sink, gas heating, solar panels, plug points and plenty of storage, this high-spec van conversion is built for comfort on the road all year round!

I converted this with my dad to start a life on the road, after an adventure around Europe, work now sees us settled in the UK so it’s time for someone else to enjoy their adventure. Here is an album with my photos from the conversion https://photos.app.goo.gl/ebpjG8GDuXLYaHKH7 !

*We used to live with a lovely white cat called Suki, Sue for short. When we became owners of a big white van, we named her in Sue’s honour.
