Looks fantastic especially with the glossy exterior finish! Would love to see more of the interiors and the more specific details that went into the build.
Have been pondering a van build out, RV redesign, or ground up trailer build like yours for awhile now. Have plans to travel the entire West Coast US up through Alaska and return through Canada-Montana-Wyoming-Colorado-Utah within the next couple years full of mountain biking, surfing, and snowboarding!
Thank you maven360! Until the snow melts, it is being used as a gear room lol. Got my surf/paddle boards and bikes in there. As warm weather approaches, I'll get it cleaned up, and take some interior photos.
I have a friend that bought a stripped down Sprinter and has spent the last two summers doing exactly what you described. I'll see if I can find a link to his build for you. A west coast trip like that would be epic. My brother lived in Montana for years(Missoula) and I got the chance to adventure there at least a half dozen times...That's the problem with my build-range and cost. My trucks fuel economy drops by half when towing the vardo so about the farthest we've been from home in it is about 600 miles in all directions. Happy adventuring! I'll be sure to follow up.
That would be fantastic. I'd love to tour America in a van. We've done out a few vehicles - I'll be posting about our transporter fit out soon. We're in Australia - to go to America it'll cost us a fortune to hire a van but we were thinking one day of a longer trip and just buying one and fitting it out, we've done it so many times...
