Tinted windows all around for the rear cabin. 2 of the side windows pop open for extra ventilation. All the rear windows have blackout insulation panels that can be taken off. It is a Californian Vehicle that hasn’t been used too much which means no rust and highway miles.

Maxx Air fan on the roof that can be used in the rain and also acts like a sky light. Carbon monoxide Alarm, and 36 liter cooler with handle and wheels. The electric system can easily run an rv fridge and all the other accessories. Black out and insulation curtain between the cabin and the rear.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

They must value their time at $400/hr on that build out unless they were hand forging the nails. Some of the prices here in SoCal are insane, but that one takes the cake.

from the ad "I’m also on the fence about selling my van so please no low ballers..."

The same fence from which the interior materials were harvested?


Burlap curtains?

[SMB123]

That's high thread count Egyption burlap and it's also load bearing. They spared no expense.


Some good concepts in the build such as solar. Some nicer drawers would make a big diff in appearance but it's still a hobby build at a pro build price.


I don't claim to have ESP but I'm sensing a rather strong scent of patchouli in that van.

Curious if the duck tape over the solar panel roof mount brackets means they are leaking?
Could have included in the description "Water available when weather permits"

[SMB123]

The tape looks like it might be Eternabond (or its recent clones) which is a relatively tried and true method of sealing RVs. If the work under is clean and has a good silicone seal - should be quite waterproof. But yes could have been a cleaner install.

And just to add to the pile..."Instagram ready" should be in the description.
