The buy it now price is cost for all materials/systems, etc minus and does not include any labor or markup in the sale price— the goal is to just get this sold so that I can move on to the next thing and not have a van as my daily commuter. The reserve price set for this auction is 49,500. Meaning once the auction hits that price it is guaranteed.
- We hired an electrician to connect and install the electrical.
- We did the lithium ION batteries which means they can be drained to 0 without negatively impacting the integrity of the batteries.
- There are 600 watts of solar
With the electric we never ran into issues with running out of juice when off grid, but we also stayed in generally sunny locations. To clarify, the solar runs the fridge, toilet fan, ceiling fan, wifi extender, cell service extender, lights, electric water kettle for coffee, charged phones, charges two laptops for constant remote work, keeps an iPad charged, etc. There are plenty of outlets throughout.
Unfinished items:- Right now the battery charging through the alternator is built in but not connected to the alternator/battery of the van. The wires have been ran and it just needs to be connected, but we never needed the extra juice so we didn’t bother connecting it. If you were to connect the alternator you could turn the car on when close to being out of juice and it would charge your batteries.
- Same with the AC it’s installed and needs to be connected to the main system, it would likely take 20 minutes to connect, but again we never needed it so I never connected it. The AC we bought was the best one you can buy: https://www.vanlifeoutfitters.com/store/mabru-rv-12000-12-volt-dc-air-conditioner/
Oven/Stove:- It has an oven and three range gas stove connected to an undermounted 11 gallon propane tank. (The propane tank was installed by a professional)
- The stove is my favorite part of the whole build, as someone who appreciates a good meal I’m sure you will agree. :) When using the stove/oven like a regular house three + meals a day we on average had to fill it every 6 months and it costs like 30 bucks to fill.

Random Specs:- Queen Casper Mattress
- Natures Head Composting Toilet
- ICECO Slideout Fridge
- Weboost Cell Service Extender (Adds 2+ bars to available service.)
- Wifi Extender (Pulls wifi that is far away close enough to be used.)
- Gas Camp Shower (Unconnected, but the plan was to add another water tank in the wheel well and connect it to the propane under the van.)
- I have a big bin of leftover parts form the build including screws, electrical components, fuses, wiring, floor panels, etc it’s all yours.
- Mosquito net doors. Never installed because we never needed them
- Tire Chains
- Charging cord for the van electric. (Connect the outside charging port to any rv hookup.)
- 16 Gallon grey water tank
- 12 gallon freshwater tank
- Levelers for camping
- Misc hoses, tools, etc for van life living
Additional love it needs:- Our UV water filter that goes to it's own faucet froze last winter, a new UV filter needs to be installed (like $300), but the pipes, etc are all there when you are ready to add it. The regular faucet works fine, it's just not filtered.
- The awning needs a new bolt for one of the legs, likely a $2 fix.
- The closet door is currently off. I’m debating getting rid of the closet and turning it into an inside shower, but if you want the van I’ll leave it up to you.
- We were gently side swiped while parked a year ago, the repairs are purely cosmetic and would likely cost a couple hundred bucks + labor. It's just a couple pieces of side plastic that need to be replaced. Link 1 LInk 2
- The inside door panel recently broke. Looks like it's an easy replacement for a couple hundred bucks. Link.
