Your ultimate adventure begins with North Shore Adventure Vans! Meet our family's custom-built expedition vehicle: a 2017 Ford Transit 250, thoughtfully designed to combine rugged capability with all the comforts of home. Whether you're chasing the thrill of the mountains, exploring secluded forest trails, or simply enjoying a weekend escape, our van is ready to keep you safe, warm, and comfortable—making every trip unforgettable.
Equipped with a 3-inch lift and oversized wheels and tires, this van is built to conquer any terrain. From snow-covered roads and rugged fire trails to that perfect mountaintop campsite, you can trust this adventure cruiser to get you there safely and in style.

For star-gazers and nature lovers, we’ve designed a truly unique feature: an electrically actuated bed slide that extends a full 36 inches outside the van. Picture yourself falling asleep under a canopy of stars, with the Milky Way stretched across the sky and the Aurora Borealis illuminating the horizon. This luxurious star-gazing bed supports up to 500 pounds, providing a cozy and secure place to enjoy the night sky like never before.

Stay warm no matter the season with our powerful diesel heater, perfect for those cold winter nights. Whether you're gearing up for a day on the slopes or winding down after a day of adventure, our van serves as your personal chalet on wheels. Imagine returning from a day of skiing to a warm, cozy van where you can prepare a hot meal on the electric convection stove, sip on an ice-cold drink from the under-counter refrigerator, and gather around the dinette table for a game night. Washing up is hassle-free with our convenient kitchen sink, and our outdoor shower ensures you stay clean and comfortable, even in the wild.

We’ve also thought about your convenience and sustainability: the van is equipped with a 10-gallon fresh water tank and a built-in filtration system, providing you with clean, fresh water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. The 2000W inverter and electrical hookups keep all your devices and appliances powered, so you can stay connected and comfortable no matter where your journey takes you.

Rain or shine, you can enjoy the great outdoors with our electric awning, which provides ample shelter from the elements. It’s the perfect way to create a comfortable outdoor living space, keeping you dry and shaded as you relax and take in the views.

For all your gear and equipment, our van features a spacious under-bed garage with a large slide-out for easy access. You'll find dedicated storage for bikes, inflatable paddleboards, and all your adventure essentials, ensuring you have everything you need for an epic journey.

Choose North Shore Adventure Vans for your next adventure and experience the freedom of the open road with all the comforts of home. Whether you're exploring the wilderness, star-gazing under a clear night sky, or seeking the thrill of the slopes, our van is your gateway to unforgettable memories. Your adventure, your way—make it extraordinary with us!
