I built this bus to live in while I finished school at Ucsb. And did so for 8 months! Drives slow enough to smell the roses!! Engine is in great shape. 77,xxx miles, 4 in the floor gear box, solar power and enough battery to charge all devices and power a small fan, queen-size custom-made memory foam mattress, rear seats with slide out table, and lots of storage!! What's includedComes with bedding, pillows, and window covers! RecommendationsTake this thing to the nearest beach, important to have bathrooms and showers nearby, the van does not have either. Perfect for a PCH cruise to a campsite or RV park but is also stealthy enough to sleep in a neighborhood almost anywhere.Other things to noteMust know how to drive manual, reverse is hard, so be careful getting yourself into spots that you need to back out of. Also hills aren’t very fun. I drove it over the grapevine in high wind and was one of the scariest drives of my life.

I love the beach and the outdoors. Really wanted to push myself outside of my comfort zone and try out van life. I loved it. This van was designed to be lived in full time. And now that I am graduated and moved on to a 'real' job, I'd like to share the experiences I had in this wonderful piece of history with as many people as I can. I also couldn't ever imagine selling this car, so this is a good excuse to keep it! Please feel free to reach out with questions,
