Hi! This is Francis. Francis was hand built by me (her owner) in 2021. I bought her after a breakup to have a camper of my own. Francis means "freedom", which exemplifies what she represents - freedom and a fresh start.You can see Francis' journey from an ordinary passenger van on Instagram, @erickajamesdesign.Francis is a 2014 Ford E-350 XLT Van. She is extra long, with bonus ground clearance and fat tires for navigating rough terrain. She has lots of storage, drives easily with rear wheel drive, and has all the comforts of home!She has a queen size memory foam mattress, sink with a 7 gallon fresh water tank and grey water tank, camping toilet, butane camp stove, and all the kitchen gear you'd need for a 2-5 day trip. She has plates, cups, silverware, a french press, and dish bins. She also comes with an outdoor shower setup, outdoor rug, camp chairs, and more fun camping gear!On top she has 340 watts of solar power (that's a lot!), and a fantastic ceiling fan that can be used in all weather conditions. She has 2 100AH AGM batteries for plenty of power, a 2,000 watt inverter for charging your non-usb devices, and usb outlets placed throughout the interior for your convenience. She also has a large 50 liter refrigerator that runs off the solar and will keep your food cold 24/7. She even has a heated mattress pad for those chilly mornings!Francis has in ceiling LED lighting that dims and is remote controlled. She also has fun colored lighting that is also remote controlled!Francis also has a swivel passenger seat, and curtains in the rear.Francis is fully insulated, so she will maintain a comfy temperature in most conditions. In the event that you need a little heat, she does come with a small propane portable heater. She comes with reflective window inserts to provide privacy and insulate further.Francis also comes with an updated stereo unit with a touch screen and Apple Carplay, and a backup camera.What's includedFrancis comes with pop-up kitchen and cooking gear, camp chairs and side table. Also a simple shower setup (to use outside), dish bins, and a rug for outdoors as well as one for the inside space in front.RecommendationsFrancis is a great van for going just about anywhere. She is big enough to be comfortable, but small enough to maneuver in a city. She is not AWD, but she does have increased ground clearance and big tires for most terrain. She is happiest on trips between 3-7 days. Other things to noteThere is no smoking in the van! Don't even smoke near her, seriously. Pets are ok but I reserve the right to disapprove any pets, please ask first.I bought Francis as ordinary passenger van and built her myself last year, so I care for her a lot. Please take care of her as if she was your own.Because of this, please do not send me booking requests without a personal message introducing yourself and telling me a little bit about your upcoming adventures. I will ignore booking requests without messages. Thanks so much for understanding ❤️
