2016 Ford Transit
After years of tent camping, we were ready for something more comfortable, weatherproof, and convenient—so in the summer of 2024, we got this custom-built Ford Transit. Camping in a rain- and wind-proof van has completely changed the way we experience the outdoors.American VanWorks took care of the flooring, walls, ceiling, fan, lights, and safari rack—while I built the wood shelving, sink, and bed frames myself. The result is a fully-functional, family-friendly camper that’s surprisingly easy to drive and perfect for making memories.Features We Love
• Sleeps 4: The van sleeps 2 adults (below) and 2 kids (in the loft) under comfy duvets—ensuring everyone gets a restful night’s sleep after a day of outdoor fun.
• Ample Storage: The safari rack on top and central aisle inside the van make it easy to store large items like surfboards, kayaks, or mountain bikes.
• Faucet & Sink: Perfect for washing dishes or rinsing off wet gear after a busy day of adventuring.
• Cassette Toilet: When you’re off the grid and need a little convenience, this is a total lifesaver.
• Reliable Power: Equipped with two battery power stations and solar panels for recharging—your devices, lights, and electronics will always have power, no matter where you go.
• Refrigerator/Freezer: Keep food fresh without the hassle of ice or frequent trips to the store.
• Driver Tech: The van has a back-up camera, touch screen, and Apple CarPlay, so you can safely navigate, stream music, and stay connected while on the road.
• High Roof: Standing at 6'3", I can easily stand up inside with no hunching—making a huge difference when it comes to comfort and practicality.What's included• Outdoor rug
• Pillows and bedding for 4
• 4 cups, 4 plates, 4 bowls
• Coleman propane camp stove
• Pots and pans
• Cooking utensils
• S’mores skewers
• Hatchet
• Puzzles and games
• Camp chairs
• Bike rack (upon request)
• And other stuff - just ask, we’ve probably got it!RecommendationsFavorite local spots:
- Islay Creek Campground at Montana de Oro - campground is tucked away between mountain peaks and offers direct access to a beach and mountain trails,, campsites are well-spaced, and no cell reception :)
- Santa Margarita Lake - always has sites (because its a county park that few people visit)!
- Cerro Alto - perfect launch for the highest peak in SLO County, but watch out for the poison oak
Other things to note- The van is only 2WD, so NOT equipped for rugged 4WD adventures. Please don’t test the limits on this.
- Van does not have a nighttime heater or AC unit, just the daytime units that run when the engine is on.
- No smoking inside the van - please and thank you :)

Meet your host, Kevin
Member since 2024
I’m a high school math teacher in San Luis Obispo. My wife and I have two beautiful children who are 6 and 4 years old. Outside of the classroom I love surfing, mountain biking, and of course camping! My favorite place to camp is definitely Yosemite :)
