Drifter – 2-Berth 2015 Ford Transit L3H3

Drifter is the perfect home-from-home for weekend adventures. This L3H3 has been transformed into a bright, open living space that feels far larger than a van has any right to feel!

The previous owner spent years travelling in it across the UK and Europe, and I’ve continued that tradition, taking it down to Cornwall for countless surf trips. It has never failed to feel like a quiet retreat after a long day in the water. The bed pulls out in seconds and is genuinely comfortable — not “van comfortable”, but the kind of place you sit and linger on slow mornings with the doors open to the view.

Inside, everything has been designed to make life simple and relaxed. There’s a two-ring gas hob, a generous wooden worktop, a deep sink and plenty of cupboards above and below for storage. The 12V fridge keeps food cold, and the diesel heater means the space stays warm long after the sun goes down. Three solar panels, an AirMax fan and an additional rear vent keep things running smoothly when you’re off-grid, and the front passenger seat swivels to open up the living area.

There’s a compact shower space, large fresh-water containers, USB points, 12V sockets and the option to plug into mains when on a pitch. The fan and rear vent were professionally resealed recently, and everything has been well-maintained to keep the van ready for long trips.
