Sorry, must have missed your question the first time.
Haven't put this van on the scale, but the last two 144wb vans were 8300 and 8600lbs (with full water/fuel tanks and a driver).
Thanks! I assure you that while beautiful, those curves are for function (and I still have scars on my head to prove it)! ;)
Also... we try to keep our builds very affordable. They are more than an assembly line build (but they also won't start falling apart in a few years) but less than most...
Like I said, to each their own (though I know many women who would disagree with you). ;)
This van does have an interior shower - because we all agree about the showering outside bit (especially in negative temps).
This is a large part of why we eventually decided to start designing/building...
There is both an interior toilet and shower in this build.
If you're referring to a full height "Wetbath" (especially in a 144wb), we find it to be a huge waster of space... but to each their own.
Built in early 2023 by the pros at ZENVANZ
This rig has everything you need (and more) for true offroad/offgrid/overland use of your van and also does it in comfort and style.
Lightweight, no rattles and built to outlast the van itself!
EXTREMELY light use and in perfect condition.
Still...
Sent that off before i was finished... but oh well. ?
For anyone even remotely interested in taking the overlanding life to the seas... I have to say - we are sold 100%!
It's actually unreal how much the overlap is between these two lifestyles is the same/similar.
We still spend almost all of...
Wow... once again we went far too long without posting updates. Apologies for that (yet again).
Somewhere after driving the dempster and dipping our toes into the arctic we headed west to Alaska and back to the pacific.
Somewhere along the way we met another camper around a campfire (around...
We just started offering these SCA pop tops as an option in our full/custom ZENVANZ builds and so far have been VERY impressed with the fit and quality!
Paint matching it to the clients van right now but can post more images after final install if anyone in interested!(y)
Decided at some point while driving north that we should probably go ahead and take the Dempster highway north and visit the Arctic.
Who knows when (or if) we'll ever find ourselves this far north again..
The dempster is kindof like everything everyone describes, but only because its so...
Heres an update from the road. This trip north is turning out to be far, far better than i would have even imagined. The landscapes are epic, the wildlife is thrilling and we simply couldn't ask for more epic/remote campsites on almost a nightly basis.
Seems the only thing we didn't allow...
Did I say that? I know. We fought it off and said no for a long time... then some friends talked us into it and it sounded like a win/win. As typical, nothing is quite that easy... ended up in a pretty stressful/chaotic couple of months but the ship has been righted and we’re focusing again...
Wow... i clearly am still not doing a very good job of updating things here. Been a bit too busy I presume.
Since our last post in November we did a winter trip chasing snow to a dozen or so mountains in the west
Turns out there wasnt much snow to be had...
at least not as early as we were...
We were thrilled with the way the sprinter handled most of the way, and we slept in the van over 90% of the trip.
Definitely had some learning to do (did i mention we're beach bums?), but nothing that couldn't be overcome:
- We travel full time with our dog karma and wanted to ensure her...
