The complete electrical system in my DIY Ford Transit camper van.

March 23, 2020 By Chris

This article was updated on 9/20/20 to reflect my final electrical configuration. The upgrades I made were swapping a Tripplite UPS / Inverter for a Renogy 700w Pure Sine inverter, swapping my two golf cart batteries for BattleBorn lithium iron phosphate batteries, and adding an AiLi battery monitor....

Think of it as making Jeff Bezos just a little less obscenely rich.

It’s been six weeks since this stop, that’s bo It’s been six weeks since this stop, that’s both hard and easy to believe. I wanted to post one more glamorous photo of the old van ass before installing the new tire/ladder combo in a few weeks. #transitcampervan #fordtrucks #liftedvans #overlanding #overlandvan #overlandvanlife #fordtransitcamper #transitvanconversion #bonnevillesaltflats #utah #homeonwheels
“Giving up on finding peace Gave me strength to “Giving up on finding peace Gave me strength to live in grief There’s poison in the tongues that sing This world owes you anything You can’t buy love or loyalty These you earn by honest deed Life is cruel and death is kind And a heart of gold is hard to find” Benjamin Tod - A Heart of Gold is Hard To Find (duh)

Extreme makeover: van edition. Photos to come when Extreme makeover: van edition. Photos to come when it’s wrapped up. Finally swapping my old lousy steel craft brush guard for an Aluminess piece. The SteelCraft mounts under the bumper and kills approach angle. Other projects in the works: “aftermarket accessories” fuse panel / relay organization, train horn, louder PA speaker, new antenna and light bar mounts. #fordtransit #transitvan #vanbuild #fordtrucks #liftedvans #transitcampervan #diy
I don’t usually post photos of other folks’ va I don’t usually post photos of other folks’ vans, but @dianasaur03 messaged me with a few questions last year before she’d even bought one. She ended up with an awesome layout for the long wheelbase mid-roof. I consulted for the electrical and heating, and whatever else I could help with. She finally got out of California and brought the van up to Spokane to visit. Swipe to see an awesome brunch, puppies, and the cozy, but efficient living space. #transitvan #transitcampervan #vanlife #fordtransitcamper #travelnurse #cabinonwheels #fordvans #vanlifedogs #campervans #publiclands

Descend ‘19 was my first massive van gathering a Descend ‘19 was my first massive van gathering and still in my top 3 van camps. I’d planned to show up early this year to help setup, really bummed about its cancellation. Despite the big sponsors, it never felt like a corporate thing to me and I made a lot of friends I still keep in touch with today. See you guys in 2021.. 📸 @laraclevenger in my van! #descendonbend #vanlife #nomads #covidcancellations #overlandvan #nomadlife
Installed an undermount toolbox on the Aluminess p Installed an undermount toolbox on the Aluminess passenger door rack. I actually took the recovery track mounts I made for the ladder previously and installed them on the side of the box. This is where I keep my compressor, shackles, recovery straps, tire repair kit, first aid, hatchet, etc. and now there’s room for fuel too! #overlandvan #fordtransit #fordtransitcamper #overlandvanlife #offroadvans #liftedvans #4x2 #fordtrucks #fordvans #aluminess #weboost #xbull
Spokane-Coeur D’Alene was always calling me. I’ve probably spent 6-8 weeks living here in hotels over the last few years for work. The downtown area is one of the few that doesn’t give me massive anxiety. That same downtown is about an hour from this photo. All this to say that I’m giving it a chance and establishing a home base in Spokane for the next year. There will be more van adventures, but as I promised a few months ago, I’ll be posting more of my everyday, tech projects, etc. as well from here on out. It’s time to start over. ❤️ #publiclands #spokanecda #nationalforest #northernidaho #landscapephotos #inlandnorthwest
WIP of the interior remodel.. y’all remember the WIP of the interior remodel.. y’all remember the big ugly partition wall I had in here? Gone. Seat swivel added. Flooring replaced. Bench seat repaneled. Bed boxes trimmed. New upper cabinet. Everything sanded, oiled, poly’d. Just lacking some trim work and the slider step before I can call it “done”. It finally looks like I pictured originally- this van is made to be a little cabin in the forest, not parked in a city 😎 #vanbuild #fordtransit #transitcamper #fordtransitcamper #conversionvan #diyvan
