A 2019 Ford Transit has been transformed into a $175,000 off-grid, 4-seasons-capable camper van — see inside Junior

  • Camper van conversion company Benchmark Vehicles' flagship vehicle is the $175,000 Junior, an off-grid, four seasons-capable camper built on a 2019 Ford Transit High Roof.
  • The camper has a dining area, kitchen, bed, garage, and shower.
  • Junior's off-grid capabilities come from its power systems, which includes batteries, solar panels, an inverter, and a secondary alternator.

Camper van conversion company Benchmark Vehicles' flagship vehicle is the Junior, an off-grid, four seasons-capable camper built inside of a 2019 Ford Transit High Roof for $175,000.

Benchmark Vehicles specializes in converting both Ford Transits and Mercedes-Benz Sprinters, which are two popular camper van chassis that both have similar initial upfront costs. According to Benchmark Vans, the Sprinter excels in its quality and design, while the Transit has more horsepower and can be more easily serviced.

The Ford can also be powered by standard petrol which, according to Benchmark Vehicles, has a high appeal to customers who plan on taking their campers around Central and South America.

And for those who want to take advantage of this potential cross-continent capability, Benchmark Vehicles' Junior may be a good fit.

Junior was designed to be able to provide a comfortable #VanLife experience while off-grid in both hot and cold weather, according to its makers. To do this, Benchmark Vehicles upgraded Junior's power systems to include components like a new 415-amp hour lithium battery system that both charges quickly and "decharges" slowly, according to its maker.
