Vincent is an extended Chevy Express conversion with a bright cozy cedar paneled interior. The van comfortably seats and sleeps two people in a double bed, with plenty of storage space for all your gear. The bed is configured to convert into either inward-facing seating to use with the fold-down table, or an outward facing sofa. The front passenger seat swivels to provide additional comfortable seating.The van is equipped with a 100W solar panel and a 100 Ah lithium battery which powers the lights, the fridge and a fan – when fully charged this allows you to remain off grid for 2-3 days. A fuel-efficient diesel heater keeps the van warm well into negative temperatures, and the vent-fan will keep you cool in summer.The van contains everything you need to cook and eat – a 2-burner gas stove can be connected to the large gas cylinder for indoor cooking or taken outdoors.Vincent is a normal-height white van, so from the outside is inconspicuous if parked in town. The curtains and window covers ensure privacy. However, you will not be able to stand up inside – everything is configured to be used sitting down!Note: our van’s bed was built to accommodate a couple who are 5’5” and 5’11”. We can sleep comfortably, but do not recommend this van for people over 6’ tall, unless you are travelling solo.Check out our Instagram @ camper(dot)converts to learn more about our van’s conversion and some great local adventures!
