Meet Lucille, a Vanlife Collective Original! This is the van that Andre lived in while the VLC was just getting off the ground. When you compare this van to our new ones, you’ll see a common thread. Built for full time vanlife, storage has been maximized for long term food storage, too much gear, and four seasons of clothing and bedding.

At one point, Andre was carrying

• 6 Skis

• Bikes

• 13 ft Whitewater Raft with a frame

• Kayaks

• Kite Gear

• Year-round linnens

• Drying space

• A decadent spice collection

I’ll note — convenient cooking has always been one of my personal must-haves. From quick access to spices (no digging please!) to an easy way to do dishes multiple times a day, I strived to find easy solutions for minimal repetitive effort while being constantly in motion.

Lucille has been well ridden and loved. She received a new engine in 2022 after a timing chain blew a hole in the valve cover and she lost oil, and she’s been purring ever since.

To note — some tire chain damage around the rear wheel wells, and a little bit of surface rust at two spots I can show you.

Lucille got a lithium upgrade this year — 200 AH — and will continue purring for a while.

Tires are some older K02’s that are showing wear, and I can include a brand new pair of stock tires on black steel rims.

Rental Program: Lucille has listings on Outdoorsy and Gocamp, and I can transfer those to you. She brought in about 15k this past summer during our short summer season.

Upgrades: The cabinets in the kitchen are easy to remove, and could be reconfigured for an open layout.
