LOTS OF PICS JUST ADDED TO MY GALLERY

I am selling the van. If you have advice or think my ad needs attention please do so in a positive way.
If that doesn't work please PM me. I appreciate it.

For sale is my 2002 Ford E350 camper van. It seats four and sleeps 4-5 in it's current configuration but I can provide the older rear dinette/bed which will allow you to seat 8 and sleep 4-5.

Older rear dinette configuration (which I still have and can go with the van). This is great for 4 kids in the back plus 4 adults in the front so you can seat 8, but there are no seatbelts in this rear dinette. floor mounted lap belts could be added easily. The dinette drops in to a bed.



This is the newer configuration, which raised the bed about 10 inches, providing a huge storage space under the rear bed, but van currently only sits 4 up front with this set up. It also stores the bigger table. either configuration can go with the van, whichever buyer prefers.





This is a unique conversion built by me with the top done by Colorado Camper Van of Loveland, CO. The whole roof raises via electric motors on a wall mounted button or keyless remote which is included. This makes a queen bed and a small adult or child's bed up top, with another bed in the rear which will sleep one adult or two children. It has gray insulated canvas up top with 6 zip out clear plastic/screen windows. The rear one zips fully open including screen.

Van:
2002 E-350 (1 ton) chassis
5.4 triton engine
2WD
155,000 miles on chassis
4r100 (newer style) 4-speed auto transmission
approx 10k miles on Jasper remanufactured engine
SCT (5-Star) performance tune
Original engine failed at about 145k due to a faulty connecting rod bearing (a very rare failure,
these engines will usually run several hundred thousand miles without a problem) I bought the van at about 110K and researched it thoroughly before I bought it. It had been maintained by the local Ford dealership, all maintenance always kept up. I have no other explanation for the failure. The engine was still running. It never 'blew up' or anything, but a knock had started and I didn't trust it since I bought it to travel so I replaced the engine.
Engine replacement done by a local authorized Jasper facility
warranty and paperwork available
Toyo Open Country tires, E rated, 1/2 life left at least (see pics)
4 wheel disc brakes, front pads and fluid recently done
All fluids changed regularly
Power driver's seat WITH lumbar
Armrests on all 4 chairs
OEM Ford seat belts in rear
Side windows pop out, all windows tinted
Tilt/Cruise/cold AC, PW, PDL
factory rear heat/air conditioning blows ccccoldddd.

This is a self contained camper perfect for touring or camping. Much easier to get around than a motorhome or truck/trailer, parks in a standard parking space. I built it for our family of 4. We have camped and traveled happily for weeks at a time in this van. It is approx. 8.5 ft high with the roof air, top down, and probably about 12 ft with it raised.

You can literally drive up to a site and be resting in comfort in about 3 minutes.

It gets about 15 MPG on the highway and 12-13 in town.

It is a joy to drive all day at 70+ MPH but fuel efficiency foes down 1/2 MPG if you drive it over 75.

I can go through most drive-thrus with this van! If you've driven an RV you know this can be a great convenience!

The refrigerator will run overnight on the inverter alone so you can dry camp, but in warmer weather you will need to plug in or run the van the next day to charge the batteries back up.
With a small portable generator you can stay indefinitely without plugging in.

I am selling my van only because I have another project. I have built it mostly myself so the purchase comes with lifetime tech support (within reason). In other words, I can tell you where the fuse is for this or that or what's behind this or that panel without you having to search or pay someone. It is pretty simple though. I have one easily accessible fuse panel inside the back door and one under the sink.

I have all paperwork on all appliances, both original keys with fobs, owners manual, engine warranty info, remote controls and manuals for electronics, etc.

It is a very complete van and will be missed, but I had a blast making it how it is, and I will probably do it again.

Pics of anything you would like to see in particular are available.

The good: If you've looked at many vans, especially of this age, you will find this one is as clean as a pin inside and underneath. I would give the interior and chassis an 8 of 10 and I am a 'car guy'. Absolutely NO rust. Southern owned and meticulously maintained vehicle. First owner was in Winston Salem NC and I bought it from them. No rain gutter rust, no muffler rust. Nothing. It has NO smoke or pet odors, stains, etc. It has no rips or tears in the interior anywhere and not a stain on any seat.

The bad. You might like to invest in a paint job for the exterior eventually. It has several small dents, dings and scratches from regular use as a camper and traveling vehicle. It has no sun fading or bad clear coat spots, just obvious stuff from use and being a dark colored vehicle, so it shows every flaw. I would give the paint a 5 of 10, but it still photographs well. If I kept it I wouldn't do anything but use it. I am probably more picky than most on the condition of it, but I realize someone might be traveling a long way to get it, so I'm trying to be thorough and honest about condition.

I don't need help selling.

I live near an airport.

I will deliver or assist in pick up or whatever, negotiable delivery fee around my work schedule. I love to travel.

$18,500

I will entertain offers but do not need to sell, so save your time if you aren't willing to pay a reasonable price for the van. I have it listed for what I consider a reasonable price. Call Sportsmobile or Colorado Camper Van (or me) if you're curious what the pop top conversion cost.
It isn't cheap, in fact it's nearly half of what I have the van listed for, and this one has a brand new engine plus all of the other expensive goodies I've added.
The rear rack with generator in some pics IS NOT included. I will negotiate the rack if you have generator of your own, or I will sell it as is for exactly what I paid for it. Sorry, it's a Honda generator. They aren't cheap and they aren't cheap.

I have tried to be as complete as can be here but please email with any questions, etc. and I will call or get back to you immediately.
Here are a couple of pics of the outside, more are in my other gallery or on the CL ad.











Thanks

I've enjoyed my Ford vans over the years...but I have to say the nice top on this one really is attractive and addresses the big issue that many of us face after a decade of "vanning"...the desire to stand up.

Very nice work and design. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks, yes, my wife is 5'6" and can stand up with room room to spare (with the top down). I'm 6'2". No dice without the top up.
