iBestTravel’s 2024 Ford Transit Trail Camper Van Conversion
iBestTravel has pushed its first 2024 Ford Transit Trail camper van conversion out of its Colorado Springs, Colorado, factory. The Transit Trail confidently wears the crisp, modern iBestTravel interior. The uncluttered indoor sanctuary perfectly complements the factory van’s aggressive off-road-oriented exterior.
Affordable Camper Van Options
The elegant materials and high-quality installation of iBestTravel’s conversions hide the fact that this impressive camper van is budget-friendly, eliminating one of the biggest barriers to camper van ownership—expense. A brand new 2024 Ford Transit Trail high-roof (starting at about $72,000) equipped with iBestTravel’s Wilford interior conversion (starting at $24,000, with this example coming in at about $28,000) creates an incredible camper van for about $100,000. This represents a great way to invest in a brand-new van, with the remaining budget going toward a simpler, flexible interior.
Streamlined Conversion Process
A second barrier to camper van ownership is the complexity of the options available. With countless ways to outfit a camper van, where should you begin? The process can indeed be overwhelming and stressful. iBestTravel simplifies this by converting specific models of new and used (2014-and-newer) Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster vans. The 136-inch wheelbase high-roof Ram ProMaster camper van conversion is called Walter, while the longer 159-inch ProMaster is nicknamed Walt. The 148-inch wheelbase Ford Transit builds are referred to as Wilma (mid-roof) and Wilford (high-roof). iBestTravel’s conversions range from $21,200 to $24,500.
Comprehensive Conversion Features
Each iBestTravel conversion includes everything needed to transform a cold, empty cargo van into a delightful retreat. The Wilford conversion’s foundation includes flooring, cargo tracks, 100-percent wool insulation, and soft, contoured removable panels throughout. The walls, ceiling, trim, and cabinet doors are constructed from a laminated composite material that can be routed, cut, or drilled into.
Functional and Stylish Interiors
Furniture is constructed from UV-treated, water-resistant, and scratch-resistant nine-ply solid-core Baltic Birch, featuring a kitchen galley (with a sink and fold-down leaf), two high-back boot boxes, a Lagun swivel table, and upper cabinets on both sides of the bed and over the galley. iBestTravel uses stain- and water-resistant washable fabric, but they can also customize cushions using materials provided by customers. The spacious rear sleeping area boasts a five-inch-thick memory foam mattress sitting atop a grooved bed platform.
Customized Amenities
Integrated LED puck lights in the ceiling, an insulated cab partition, and magnetic rear window coverings complete the basic setup. The camper is equipped with five-gallon fresh and gray water tanks, with water flow controlled by a hand pump. While there is no built-in bathroom or shower, customers have the option of selecting add-ons such as a single rear seat, a collapsible two-person bench, a vent fan, a Propex heater, Goal Zero Yeti 1500x, a wheel well storage box, lower bunk platform, Dometic fridge, custom cushions, and more.
Flexibility and Modularity
iBestTravel interiors are modular and flexible, addressing the challenge of justifying a permanent layout in camper ownership. Customers select a preset layout for installation day, but afterward, the configuration is entirely up to them. Using just a 9/16-inch socket wrench, the furniture can be reconfigured or removed, allowing for adaptation to new needs or preferences.
Quick Turnaround Times
Because all interior components are pre-cut and assembled, and iBestTravel adheres to a systematic conversion process, build-outs are completed in as little as one day. This effectively addresses another barrier to camper van ownership: the long wait times and extensive build times that keep your investment in limbo. Once you have the van— which iBestTravel can help source through its dealership partners—installation appointments can be scheduled anywhere from two to nine weeks out. While obtaining a Transit Trail may be the most significant bottleneck in the process, iBestTravel reports that these off-road vans are increasingly available at dealerships and conversion shops. All conversions are carried out in iBestTravel’s Colorado Springs, Colorado facility. To assist with logistics, iBestTravel contributes up to $2,000 to help ship the van from your location to their shop, and this delivery/return shipping cost can be incorporated into your loan. If you choose to road trip your new van home, they will arranged airport pickups.
Conclusion
iBestTravel’s affordable, modular Ford Transit Trail Wilford conversion offers a straightforward and timely approach to camper van ownership. We eagerly anticipate seeing these builds on the road, adding to the other 1,000 vans iBestTravel has successfully placed on the roads since 2015.
