Seller's Description

** Check out behind the scenes build log on instagram: @totoro.van ** Contact [contact info removed] for a video walkthrough. See the walkthrough video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyrCv3Th6vY (or scroll down) Built by a licensed electrical engineer (CA license 23418) - fully off grid electric systems with no propane (air heater uses existing gasoline tank and water heater uses the van's coolant system with electric backup). A large skylight provides privacy and good natural lighting at the same time. This van is fully trimmed out and of professional build quality - just ask me for a video tour to see! This conversion is work-ready and adventure-ready in any season - snow, mud or sand. Interior aesthetics are built in a Japanese-farmhouse style with custom woodworking using reclaimed poplar and oak. 100% solar powered with backup alternator charger - or dock it to shore power if you want a tiny home. Full instruction manuals with schematics and component list will be provided upon sale - I know every wire, water connection, and hole since I did 100% of the work myself.
