After finally deciding to purchase a Ford Transit 350 extended, the next challenge was to decide how to build it out! The Transit was an empty shell, so we had a clear sheet of paper to start with. Our biggest limitations were time, working a full-time job, and scheduling around a Canadian winter and other commitments.
Our main objective was to convert the RV that would allow us to seat and sleep two extra people. As you get older, time becomes more precious to spend with family and friends. Many of our family and friends live in the UK, so having a vehicle that would allow us to spend time and travel with them was a priority. We therefore chose the Ford Transit 350 extended as it gave us the necessary space to fit extra seats behind the driver.
Life is a great adventure…accept it in such a spirit

We came to Canada in 2009 with two children, no job, no house, true immigrant style! Pretty scary, but life only gives you one chance. One of the reasons we chose Canada was because of the wilderness and space, but not the winter. With no commitments when we landed in Canada, we bought a second-hand Dodge Caravan and a pop-up trailer tent. We landed in June, which gave us the next ten weeks to travel coast to coast across the USA from Florida to California and back. It was something on my bucket list and probably the only chance we would have as a family.
The ten-week road trip was a true adventure, something that holds so many memories. For the last 16 years we have travelled extensively across Canada and the US with the trailer tent, tents and motels when necessary. We felt now was the time to get an RV, convert it and make our travels easier and more comfortable.
