Hi folks,
Back to city life and it's time to downsize from a van to a truck again. My partner and I lived in this van all of 2017: she's a great van and will take you on many adventures.
I wrote the blurb below for Craigslist so it's probably not all necessary for this audience
Here it is anyway, though...
Betty was converted from a stock cargo van, and the living area is fully kitted out with wooden drawers, shelving, and countertops. She’s got a queen size bed with a memory foam mattress, convenient charging for all your electronics, and more. There is 6+ft of standing room and plenty of counter space for cooking, as well as a fold-out table that can double as an office setup.
Betty is fully set up to be an off-the-grid machine: she’s got 300Ah of house batteries charged from both the sun and the alternator. 4 AC outlets as well as USB plugs can be found throughout the van to charge laptops, phones, etc. With the battery monitor you can keep an eye on your battery bank: without any sunlight we’ve gone 2-4 days off the battery bank alone.
You can find more past photos of Betty on Instagram at @BettyWhiteTheSprinter.
