This is a 1985 Ford Econoline Falcon. I purchased the original 1.5 years ago and spent that time tearing it apart and remaking it to a modern off grid campervan. It has all the essentials, solar, battery bank, water, propane etc. to live in any environment. It had over $5000 in mechanical upgrades and repairs and now runs smooth with upgraded brakes, carburetor, brand new all terrain tires, and heavy duty coilover shocks. With just over 108,000 miles it has plenty of life on the drivetrain. I used reclaimed wood and non-hazardous Havelock Wool insulation throughout the build. Key components: Water: -18 Gallon Water Tank -High End inline Water Filter -Water pump for running water -Grey Water tank under van -Exterior water hose for shower/cleaning Gas -Propane system uses common replacement tanks -FlameKing dual burner stove -MrBuddy 1lb propane heater Electrical -2 100aH Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries from Renogy -2 100watt Solar Panels from renogy -Renogy 40 watt DC-DC alternator charger -Noco Genius 10amp/hr shore power charger -Capable of 3 different ways to charge batteries - LED Lights on interior/exterior of vehicle -75l dual zone Dometic Cooler -MaxAir fan on roof Storage -Under bed is the main storage, holds 6 medium storage containers and 2 extra large containers. -Multiple kitchen drawers and overhead storage in the main part of the van. Main Issues Mechanically I have fixed everything but the rear tank fuel pump. It has two 20 gallon fuel tanks, the front works fine but the rear fuel pump is broken so it doesn't deliver the fuel. I have only been living locally so it hasn't been a big deal for me, but if you were to travel far it would probably be worth fixing for the extra fuel range. Other than that no real issues, everything else has been repaired or upgraded.
