QR Code Link to This Post
$7,000 USD | $120,000 Mexican Pesos
Van Name: “Savanah” 🚐
BC, Vancouver plates
Great suspension, strong chassis and engine runs smoothly.
Selling this beauty of a campervan, very reliable. It’s been an awesome vehicle! I never broken down on my trips, super thankful. I looked after her so she looked after me. I’m sad to let her go but I’m moving onto different adventures and very happy to pass her onto the next adventurers to enjoy.
Former government vehicle converted in 2022, heavy duty Chevy Express 3500. The history of the vehicle is outstanding as it was previously a government vehicle. A car fax history report shows full service history every 3-6 months until it’s sale to the owner who converted to a campervan (2007—2022). I have had the car serviced regularly through certified mechanics to keep it running smoothly. These vans go for miles and miles if you keep looking after them!
House Electrical & Solar Panels
The internal house battery system was installed by a red seal electrician which you can see from the photos, it’s been professionally installed and works like a charm.
* 1200W pure sine wave inverter mounted with controller
* 2 x 12v AGM Sealed Lead Acid Batteries
* 400w solar power charge controller
* 110v electricity at 3 separate locations
* House style 100w solar panel mounted to roof
* 110v external plug for charging
Slight paint peeling at top of doors and back door as shown in photos. It gives her character 😀
Highlights
— 4-season converted van: Full insulation and a 5kw diesel heater which runs flawlessly and keeps the van toasty in the cold months. Will be awesome driving up North American coast to enjoy the winter season.
— Extra dark window tinting, no-one can see in – very stealthy for camping when you want to keep the curtains open and enjoy being inside.
— Full house electrical system with charging port on outside of van and charging capabilities through the alternator. Battery is consistently topped up when on those long road trips.
— Refrigerator, Dometic fan vent, LED lighting
— Curtains and reflectix window covers for all windows, a cosy feel from the inside.
— Roof rack, tow hitch and reversing camera included (she’s long!)
