2020 Ford Transit 350 AWD w/ 2022 Main Line Overland Camper Conversion :: Featured Classified
The Ford Transit has long been a figurehead of the vanlife movement, and more recently, the AWD variant has been adopted by the overlanding community.

2000 Ford Excursion 4×4 XLT :: Classifieds
I’m a sucker for older rigs such as this 1986 Vanagon Syncro, 1997 F-350 w/ camper, and 1994 HZJ75. That said, as someone who has lived and traveled in a 40-year-old truck, I concede that they’re not without their caveats. With this in mind, 4WDs from the mid-90s/early 2000s find a sweet spot between classic…

Affordable rigs ensure more disposable income for experiences, which should always be the priority.
