2002 Ford E-450 Super Duty Converted Skoolie (183K miles)

Summary:

• This thing is a beast. I’ve taken it across country and it’s passed every test of mine – it will climb hills, its coasts beautifully on the highway, it starts up in the cold and high elevation and has required almost no maintenance since I bought it.
• It’s super spacious (standing room inside), one of the most reliable skoolie models you can find, and is ready for you to take it to the mountains this weekend.
• I’m only getting rid of this because I’m moving with short notice, and I can’t take two vehicles.
• Bus is currently located in Cary, NC (in between Durham and Raleigh) and is available for pickup from this location.

Basics about the bus:

• 2002 Ford E-450 Super Duty 7.3L Diesel (22 ft long)

  • Professionally installed Jensen Touchscreen Radio with Apple Car Play – Has Bluetooth and there’s a phone mount on the dash for your phone.
  • Professionally installed Additional Radio Speaker – This thing is loud enough to not need max volume on the highway. I’ve even used it for music at campsites cause its that good.
