2020 Ford Transit Connect XLT | Turnkey Solo Camper

Seller's Description

A Daily Driver & Off-Grid Escape: This 2020 Ford Transit Connect XLT (Long Wheelbase) is a thoughtfully designed DIY self-conversion tailored for the solo traveler. If you’re looking for a rig that handles a 9-to-5 commute during the week and remote camping on the weekends, consider this van. Unlike larger high-roof vans, this XLT fits in standard residential garages and city parking spots, maintaining a stealthy profile for urban camping while offering great maneuverability. Build Highlights & Systems: * Power System: Equipped with a Bluetti AC50S (500Wh) portable power station and a 120W portable solar panel. This setup powers the fridge, fan, and devices such as laptops, phones, tablets. The power bank recharges via the 12V port while driving, the solar panel when parked, or a standard wall outlet. * Climate & Stealth: Walls and ceiling are lined with sound deadening and foam insulation for a quiet ride and temperature control. Includes a ceiling exhaust fan and custom-fit removable window covers for total blackout privacy. Additionally it has a small portable fan. * Mobile Office Layout: Features a desk with a pull-out shelf—a convenient setup for digital nomads, writers, or remote workers. * Sleep System: Versatile bench-to-bed conversion with a 3” thick mattress. The bench slides out into a bed (33” width x 71” length). * Kitchen & Utility: Equipped with a 12V fridge, portable stove, collapsible sink, and 5 gallons of water storage. Vehicle Specifications: * Chassis: Ford Transit Connect XLT (LWB) * Low Mileage: 34,400 * Condition: Great; New battery (Dec 2025); Oil change & air filter replacement (Jan 2026) * Efficiency: Economical, averaging 24 MPG * Safety: Fire extinguisher included; Backup camera and XLT driver-assist features. * Exterior Note: The van is in great shape overall; however, for full transparency, there are a couple of small cracks in the paint on the passenger side. Modular & Customizable: All furniture is securely bolted to the floor via a bracket system. * Want more space? Remove the desk in minutes. * Need a work van? The bed and desk can be temporarily removed to restore cargo capacity. This van was built with care for my own adventures. It is sold "turnkey"—including the 12V shower, camping chair, and cookware. Just throw in your bags and hit the road. It offers the freedom of the road without the high cost of fuel fill-ups and it is great for “part-time" travelers.
