About
2009 Chevy Express 3500 Off-Grid Skoolie Only 63K Miles!
Want a real home, not a bro-rig Trying to skip a luxury van price tag but still feel pampered? ECO & DIY-curious but don't want to start from scratch?
This fully finished, 100% turnkey rig has been outfitted with premium systems that have been road-tested and received rave reviews from guests and friends. All with the style of a crafted boho-boutique cottage that supports real appliances.
With solar as the primary energy source and shore power as a backup, this system is quiet, clean, low-maintenance, and designed for true off-grid living. It’s one of the strongest and most dependable power systems for a skoolie this size. No mixed-brand setups, just premium, compatible gear.
Your future tiny home on wheels runs on a premium off-grid power system built with Victron components, the same setup used by full-time vanlifers and professional overlanders charging three times as much.
Will entertain offers, but pricing sits at $60K as it offers more volume / space, super low mileage, and premium components versus the price of a luxury adventure van or DIY skoolie overhaul.
