For sale is our 1976 Ford Econoline Camper Van
AKA "Charlie the Wondervan"!
LOW MILEAGE!! 103,000 miles. Runs and drives like a dream, mechanically solid with NO issues. Drive it away today! No rust, clean undercarriage, has been babied and received religious maintenance services. We have all receipts, including the original purchase papers!! Clean title in hand, current registration and emissions.
Charges up mountain passes without any trouble, handles well in city traffic, and cruises smoothly at freeway speed. 6' of clearance inside means you can stand up straight without bumping your head.
18' in length and easily fits within a standard parking space, saving you the hassle of maneuvering a larger RV and fighting for parking. With All Terrain tires, compact size, and high ground clearance, you can truly go anywhere in this amazing rig, from peaceful desert to standard campgrounds to remote forest service roads. Fully customized and equipped for extended "dry" (no electric/water) camping! We have installed top of the line electrical components, like those used in the much pricier Sprinter vans. These Ford vans are incredibly common, affordable, easy to work on, and you can find parts anywhere in the world.
Previous owners babied the van and kept in in a covered garage, used only twice per year for family camping trips. We have added numerous upgrades and taken impeccable care of "Charlie", now it's time for him to go on and help another person or family fulfill their travel dreams!

The Considerations
- The rear passenger side doors have a dent, as seen in the photos.
- Some cosmetic wear and tear, shown in photos.
- The cable on the Yakima bike rack has been cut. You will need to replace the cable, or do what we did, and use a large chain and heavy duty padlock.
This truly is a one of a kind van build, made out of love. We are very sad to see it go, but as we are both students now we just don't have the time to use this awesome camper like it should be.
