FOR SALE! 1998 Dodge Ram Van B3500 (Extended); Fully Equipped & Furnished Campervan
We’re a British couple selling our *California (US) registered van as our road trip comes to an end. We initially bought the van to travel Central America for four months, which has pleasantly turned out to be a 12-month road trip ending in Mexico. The build internally is a self-conversion and comes fully equipped with all the camping/off-grid essentials ready to go. The van is extended so we have a full-sized double bed, plenty of storage for surfboards or other sports equipment. The van has been regularly serviced so she’s well looked after and hasn’t let us down once over the entire trip. It’s 2-rear-wheel drive with high-clearance which has left us almost unstoppable ������ She’s spacious and reliable, so we feel she’s the perfect adventure van for a couple, with pets or a few friends (we’ve had three people travelling together on a few occasions).

ELECTRICAL
We had a complete new internal electrical system fitted in May 2018. The secondary battery is connected to a removable roof-mounted solar panel and receives charge from the alternator when the van is running. N.B. there is a trip-switch between the secondary battery and the alternator at the side of the driver’s seat to kill this connection to prevent a draw from the main battery when the engine is off.

We are currently in Mexico (Pacific side) and heading along the coast towards the US. We’re not in any rush to sell with no set plans yet so we’d only head to California for a solid offer over the coming weeks. The legal side depends on various factors but can easily be transferred with California DMV or through Overlanding Title & Vehicle Service. Price is NEGOTIABLE so drop us a message if you have any questions, send me a PM or email:
