THE ULTIMATE OFF-GRID RIG – LOWEST KMS ON THE MARKET - $17k+ in High-End Parts.
Up for sale is my 2011 Ford Transit. This was a Mini Bus conversion with incredibly low mileage for its age (only 66,xxx km). It has been built with no expense spared on the components, using only top-tier marine and automotive brands like Victron, Blue Sea Systems, and Renogy.
REGO: 12 months until Feb 2027
📄 FULL PARTS LIST:
I have kept a detailed spreadsheet of every single item purchased for this build, totaling over $17,900 in parts alone (excluding the van and labour).
THE BUILD:
I built the interior cabinetry myself (walls, countertops, kitchen, overheads). I am NOT charging for the labour or the materials for the fit-out (plywood, paint, pipes, etc valued at $1,200+). You are paying for the reliable low-km vehicle and the high-end equipment installed.
