Hey Everyone,
Some of you will notice this van as previously being for sale from Zach with Autarky in Reno, NV. I'll make a long story short; I had a 2019 F-450 with a custom flatbed camper shell that was being built out here in Bend, OR. The overland buildout company doing my build moved their business to Colorado while my project was halfway complete and 4 months behind schedule. They acted like they were going to stay true to their word and finish the build but they continued to let me down. I couldn't find anyone to complete the build, but I found Zach with Autarky who had this awesome 2008 E-350. We worked out a trade so that I could have a completed vehicle and he will finish off the F-450 project and it will be for sale.
Now to the good stuff. Zach Reinitz (Autarky) built this Camper from the ground up over the last year. It was his 4th build and most extensive build to date. The van was designed around extreme exploration and ultimate comfort. He acquired a low mileage 4x4 E350 passenger van in Northern California and proceeded strip it down to the core, the new design was re–engineered, Cad designed, and professionally rebuilt into the camper you see today. The van is standard length but packs a ton of features into a compact and powerful package. The shorter wheel base allows you to go anywhere and make tight maneuvers.
Reducing Price - $107,500
Location: Bend, OR (15 minutes from RDM airport)
Please send me a message to get in touch!
Full set of pictures: Pictures
Summary:
With a robust solar/lithium system, heating system, independent off-grid A/C, indoor and outdoor kitchens, and true off-road suspension this van is incredibly well-suited for a lot of adventures. You could take this van up to the mountain for a ski day or on an overland adventure, it doesn't have a whole lot of limitations.
