Compound Turbo 12 Valve Swapped F350 with 2022 Bison Overland Flatbed camper on 37s, King 2.5 coilover 4 link front, alcan/icon 3.0 rear

40,000 miles on motor
25,000 miles on entire drivetrain (trans, axles, 4.10 gears LSD, NV5600, np205 tcase)
223k on odometer

We’ll Start with an asking price of $105k
(Truck and camper will be sold together, not seperating)
**registered and insured as a Motorhome**
Located in Millington, NJ


You Never know what an appropriate asking price is with this stuff. I’m well over 150K+ in the build and unfortunately you never get that money back in this game. All receipts for parts, work, etc. will be available for the buyer.

Due to a growing family and less time to spend “off grid” playing on bicycles, a more Road oriented/RV park type rig is necessary

So on that note I am Open to trades for LARGER Vans with room for bicycles, class B+, C’s such as Winnebago ekko, coachmen crosstrek cross trail 20xg or similar with “garage space” to store bikes inside


This truck will not be for everyone so please read thoroughly if you’re interested and leave the poor comments out of the thread if you’re not.
Feel free to privately message me with any gripes, concerns, complaints on pricing, etc… also feel free to ask any relevant questions you like in the thread and I will do my best to answer

It’s Loud, it’s fast, it’s high, it’s manual, and it will not pass any type of smog inspection, so California need not apply. Although it does run very clean on biodiesel.

It will run forever if properly maintained.
Parts are available most everywhere.
Will run on all the diesel here in the US along with the questionable stuff outside of the country. For that reason there is a FASS fuel system in place for its filtration and water seperation and ease of access and serviceability
Very easy to get back up and running with common 12 valve knowledge if there was a break down

The focus of the build is around Mountain biking off grid. Designed to be as reliable as possible and rip fire roads comfortably and fast more than ride pavement all day long. Please keep that in mind if you’re inquiring on this rig

Hest dually mattress fits perfectly in the cab over and can be folded in half to Allow for more storage when solo traveling.
Pendleton seat cushions convertible to second bed at dinette area

• All marine grade stainless hardware on cabinetry screws, water ports, wiring, etc.

As I said before this was built as a FAIR weather MTB destination rig. Having a hardwired/mounted heater was not necessary for me. It is more than Capable of being a winter rig. It is very well insulated along with the poptop material. On colder days I had a propex portable heater box that I would hook up to the propane, that was sold shortly after realizing I would not use it.
I am willing to add to the camper at your cost if it is missing something you want or need
There are plenty of open circuits 110 and 12volt to add whatever you like.

The only thing lacking on the rig is Cruise Control.
I never felt the need for it so I did not try to figure out how to get it working with the NV trans.

There is no grey water tank. A collapsible storage tank would be used when needed for sink/indoor shower. None of the camping I did was in rv parks so having a mounted grey water tank was not necessary.


Rig is currently located in Millington NJ
Mileage will continue to go up as I do still use this for some overnighter MTB trips.

Test drives will be aloud for interested parties with funding otherwise I will do the driving if requested.

Because this is titled as a motor home, RV loans may be a possibility but you must inquire on your own.

If there are specific questions photos videos you would like to see please feel free to reach out, we can exchange numbers and go from there.

For Out of state inquires, I will be happy to go over the rig via FaceTime or other form of video call.

I would consider delivering within a reasonable distance.

It is impossible to list every detail of this rig so forgive me if there is anything I missed. I will continue to update the thread accordingly

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading and thank you for checking out my rig

I love Ford trucks I've had a bunch of them in the past. I'm wanting to drive the Pan American and then ship the truck to Africa. So, I've been looking at older trucks that will take questionable diesel. I don't know much about all of the engine work that you've done, but it looks like this maybe a good match from a reliability perspective. A few questions, how large is the gas tank and what is the approximate MPG, is there room to add a reserve tank? I probably need to do a bit of research, but my guess is if I'm patient, I can get this fixed or problemed solved just about anywhere in the world. What is the height when the top is down, what is the width and length? Thanks for your time and I hope my questions aren't too dumb.

Not dumb questions at all, I’m sure others will have the same questions as you. Sounds like you’re planing a bucket list trip, awesome!! Good rig choice for that as well.

Thanks for checking out the rig, I’ll get those exact measurements for you tomorrow. It’s likely too big for a shipping container if that’s the route you’d be going.

Fuel tank is 38 gallons. There is definitely room for a second tank since the factory spare tire location is now open. there is also a company I believe “Titan” fuel tanks who make extended range tanks that mount right up in the factory location with all the parts from original tank.

As far as MPG, if you’re light on the throttle you can get upwards of 17-20 maybe even better depending on conditions. Avg is around 15 fully loaded (Fuel, water, bicycles, tools, all the things)

Much of the engine work that was done is for reliable power without going overboard. Endless amounts of information out there about these engines and every possible issue you can have with them. All very simple fixes with some mechanical know how and will definitely be able to find diesel repair shops familiar with this engine all around the world if necessary. With the engine rebuild, the very few known catastrophic failure points have all already been addressed.

Feel free to PM me if you’d like to pick my brain more. Happy to exchange phone numbers and share knowledge on this build.
