A family of four converting a 2022 Ford Transit AWD Crew van into a full-time campervan. Four sleeping berths in a space most people can fit two. Hydronic heat, a transformer bed, a dedicated galley. All designed before a single piece of lumber was cut. This is the build, documented from the three-year van search through every engineering decision.
