It has only a few hundred miles on it, so you'll be one of the very first to take it out. It seats 4, sleeps 2, and carries everything you need to camp in comfort for days without hookups: a big lithium battery, solar, a diesel heater, a fridge, a microwave, running water and a toilet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHi, I'm Brandon. I got this van to explore the Pacific Northwest: more trips to the coast, long weekends in Bend, and as many mountain bike rides as I can fit in. It's the most fun way I've found to get outside, and now I'm sharing it with you. Pickup is in Beaverton, about 15 minutes west of downtown Portland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHY YOU'LL Love IT\u003cbr\u003e- Brand new: 2026 chassis and build, with about 500 miles on it at listing time.\u003cbr\u003e- All-wheel drive with BFGoodrich KO3 all-terrain tires, for snowy passes, gravel trailheads and forest service roads.\u003cbr\u003e- Drives like a big SUV. The 144\" wheelbase fits in most standard parking spaces, and the 360-degree camera makes parking and tight campsites easy.\u003cbr\u003e- Fuel-efficient 2.0L diesel engine, so long drives to Bend or the coast won't break the bank.\u003cbr\u003e- Off-grid ready: a 200Ah lithium battery (2,560Wh), 200W of rooftop solar, and charging while you drive. Most trips won't need a campground hookup.\u003cbr\u003e- Warm and quiet: a diesel heater, real wool insulation and sound-deadening make chilly PNW nights cozy.\u003cbr\u003e- Magnetic insulated window covers for privacy, warmth and dark mornings.\u003cbr\u003e- Hitch-mounted bike rack available for $15\/night.\u003cbr\u003e- Pets welcome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinter Trips\u003cbr\u003eThis van is made for a Northwest winter. All-wheel drive and BFGoodrich KO3 all-terrain tires handle snowy passes, and the Espar diesel heater keeps the van warm all night without idling. Spend the weekend at Mt. Hood or Mt. Bachelor: ski all day, warm up with dinner in the van, and be first in the lift line. Skis and boards ride inside with a bed section lifted out. Check Odot for chain requirements and each ski area's rules for overnight parking. In freezing weather the water system may be drained, and we'll include jugs of drinking water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSleeping\u003cbr\u003eThe bed is 69\" wide x 74\" long (wider than a queen, slightly shorter) with a tri-fold mattress. It's built from three bamboo platform sections that lift out by hand, no tools. That lets you set up the back four ways:\u003cbr\u003e- Sleep: all three sections in place for the full bed.\u003cbr\u003e- Lounge: a raised seating area for reading or waiting out rain.\u003cbr\u003e- Work and Prep: an elevated work surface with a partial aisle.\u003cbr\u003e- Pass-Through: sections out for a wide-open cargo area. Bikes, boards and gear fit easily.\u003cbr\u003eEach side of the bed has a reading light with a USB port. The ceiling fan pulls in fresh air or exhausts it, has 10 speeds and a remote, and has a built-in bug screen and blackout blind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeating AND Living Space\u003cbr\u003e- Seats 4 with seat belts: two front seats plus a folding two-person rear seat that stows flat against the wall when you need the floor space.\u003cbr\u003e- Both front seats are heated and swivel around to face the living area.\u003cbr\u003e- A removable bamboo table mounts between the seats for meals, cards or laptop work.\u003cbr\u003e- A slide-out bamboo table at the side door is the perfect outdoor kitchen counter, with its own light overhead.\u003cbr\u003e- Overhead cabinets plus floor storage give you plenty of room to unpack and stay organized.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKitchen\u003cbr\u003e- 65-liter compressor fridge (a real fridge, no ice needed), reachable from inside or outside the van.\u003cbr\u003e- 700W microwave that runs off the battery or shore power.\u003cbr\u003e- Bamboo countertop with sink, faucet and a fitted cutting-board cover.\u003cbr\u003e- 20 gallons of fresh water with an on-demand pump (cold water only), and an 11-gallon gray-water tank.\u003cbr\u003e- A full kitchen kit is included, with an outdoor camp stove, cookware, dishes and utensils (see What's Included).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower\u003cbr\u003e- 200Ah lithium battery (2,560Wh).

Set the temperature and stay warm all night without idling the engine.\u003cbr\u003e- Havelock wool insulation and sound-deadening in the walls, ceiling and doors.\u003cbr\u003e- Roof fan for airflow, plus a sliding window with a bug screen.\u003cbr\u003e- There is no air conditioning, so for summer trips we suggest the coast or the mountains, where nights cool off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBathroom\u003cbr\u003e- A portable Camco toilet stores in a cushioned floor box that doubles as an extra seat. Use it inside or outside the van.\u003cbr\u003e- There is no shower or hot water. Many guests use campground showers, gyms or a solar shower bag.
