We’re converting a 2018 Ford Transit to a Class B RV

We chose the Ford based on interior height. We also like the performance of the ECO Boost 6. The plan is for an all-electric rig. No propane and no GenSet. We’ll be adding a 2nd alternator. We’ll also be adding a lithium ion solution, with capacity to be determined. We hope you enjoy our journey and learn for your own adventure.

About That Insulation

Now you can research and discuss insulation until the cows come home. I know, I did it. In our travels we ran into a gentleman that produces specialty vehicles (ambulances and such). He also has an extensive history in the RV industry. He recommended Radiant Technology. It’s radiant technology but doesn’t require the air space like some other radiant products. It comes with adhesive on one or both sides. I inquired about our project and discovered they have a pre-cut kits for several vehicles including the Ford Transit. I opted for the kit and very glad I did. It’s also known as the pink stuff. A great company to deal with.
