Mechanically it’s in great shape but you can definitely tell boxes and stuff had banged against the walls. Carfax report showed regular fleet maintenance on this one.
For the Kayak you can create a storage box on one side that is big enough to hold the kayak and that you can push in and take our from the back. Then make the of that box your bed. It will help with the aesthetic and the smell and dirt water etc. Will you try to build a bathroom? Shower or toilet?
Congrats. I think that you may be lucky with that 78 mile cap. Really one small accident can ruin your trips and put you at the mercy of auto mechanics. I suggest spending time and money to get the van to your EXACT specifications and it can be your home for a decade.
No I purchased from a dealer. Vans only.com in Houston. The auction was something I looked into and possibly could save thousands it just didn’t work out for me that way.

Thought about this when I saw them switching all the vans to electric. I was too nervous about how it may have been beaten on

Love that idea. Shower probably not in the van. As far as commode goes I’m researching hard for something that isn’t compost style

Ty and yes I was thinking that about the cap. I’m used to driving governed work vehicles anyways.
That is bad ass! Love it.
Thank you sir.
How did you go about acquiring the van? Was it at an auction or something along those lines?
No I purchased from a dealer. Vans only.com in Houston. The auction was something I looked into and possibly could save thousands it just didn’t work out for me that way.
Could in fact NOT see the entire van in the frame at the end 😂😂😂
For real 😂
I wonder how ironic it will be if you order stuff off of Amazon to outfit your new van. 🤣
I’m guessing most of what I order will come from them 😂.
Wet belt, BEWARE !!
Not sure I follow
