Chariot is a Ford Transit XTL 250 High Roof cargo van (good for tall human to stand in but not driving :). Then piece by piece, wire by wire, my carpenter friend and I designed and built the basic structure. She went across the country 3 times after the built  and have become something bigger than I expected. Over the years, my partner Derek and I, slowly refined and upgraded everything to what you see now.  Chariot is not commercially designed but self designed with lots of charm and personality. She's not high maintenance, however, your journey will be a lot easier if you pay attention to her details and treat her with respect.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChariot has taken us to 15+ national parks across the country along with our little black cat, Miss Mishi. Chariot has all the things you'd need to call it home. So all you need is your free spirited mind and suitcase! I can't wait to see what she will take you on for a magical journey of your own!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outdoorsy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42366115807314,"sku":null,"price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/8504\/7378\/files\/hiaprmvw7h2zylue6mp4.jpg?v=1775883881","url":"https:\/\/basecamper.com\/products\/18-ford-transit-high-roof-camper-van-chariot","provider":"BaseCamper","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
