The Ford Transit van is very popular as a campervan conversion, and for good reasons. First of all, a Ford Transit van has 6′ 5″ of headroom, more than any comparable van on the market. That means, unless you are very tall, you’ll be able to stand up in your campervan without stooping over. Secondly, a new Ford Transit in Woodstock is a much better buy compared to other popular choices, such as German-made vans.
Another big plus is that repairing a Ford Transit van is often cheaper compared to repairs on a German-made van. If you’re in a rural area, away from the big city, mechanics are well-versed in repairing Fords. Parts are also readily available.
One more advantage is that Ford Transits have rear-wheel drive. While a 4×4 van is the ultimate camper for off-road adventure, rear-wheel drive is nearly as good. The rear-wheel drive can propel you out of tricky off-road situations better than front-wheel drive. A rear-wheel drive van is also considerably cheaper than a 4×4 van.
Finally, Ford Transit vans have decent ground clearance. However, it is a low-slung vehicle, which will limit your off-road ability. But, if you are determined to explore remote dirt roads, you can modify a Ford Transit in Woodstock with a lift kit and larger tires.
If you’re interested in living the van life, a new or used Ford Transit van could be your ticket to freedom.
