Sold - Chevy Express 2500, custom campervan conversion

Seller's Description

After two memorable years of travel, we are selling our beloved camper van. This van has seen every state in Continental US as well as Canada. It has sailed on ferry boats, crossed the heartland, rested beneath redwoods, soaked on white beaches, and nestled beneath snow in the Rockies. Originally, this van was part of a well-maintained fleet for the City of Cottonwood, Utah. In 2018, I left my career, prepared our house to be rented out, bought this van as an empty shell, and then spent four months to convert it into something that our family of four would be comfortable in. Then we hit the open road! We never had a single breakdown or problem with it. But now it's time to let it go. We hope to find a new owner that will enjoy it and have great adventures with it. Whether you're a weekend warrior or an aspiring full-time vanlifer, a family or a retiree or a college student, this van will fit your lifestyle.
