🐼 The Panda Van
2014 Ford E-250 Extended Adventure Camper | Surf • Camp • Explore
Queen size Bed, Epic storage. 32 inch TV, Proven V8. Built for fun.
If you’re looking for a legendary adventure van with massive space, thoughtful upgrades, and a story behind it — meet The Panda Van. This 2014 Ford E-250 Extended started life as a professionally maintained city passenger vehicle in Massachusetts, then was thoughtfully converted in Florida into a surf-ready, road-trip-proven camper van designed for functionality, comfort, and pure adventure. With a
Powered by Ford’s reliable 4.6L Triton V8, this van has just 101,263 miles and runs strong. It’s the kind of platform people seek out for long-term ownership — simple, dependable, and easy to maintain. The city serviced it like clockwork before the conversion, and we’ve continued that care with recent maintenance and upgrades.
Inside, the space is truly epic. A raised queen-size sleeping platform creates a massive garage underneath — long enough to fit 12-foot surfboards, wing and kite boards, bikes, and all your camping gear with room to spare. This van was built for surf missions, weekend escapes, and living outside — not just looking cool in a driveway.
The vibe is clean, bright, and intentional: white beach-wood vinyl plank flooring runs more than 12 feet front to back, bamboo skateboard deck ceiling storage ties into the Panda theme, and swivel front seats instantly turn the cab into a lounge when parked. Add in the swiveling TV (yes — it can be seen outside too for tailgates and campfires), and you’ve got a van that’s as social as it is functional. Two 6x9 Speaker boxes in the back keep the music pumping.
The Front seats Swivel to face the rear and instantly change the van to the coolest place to hang, change clothes, or connect a laptop for remote work on the road.
We absolutely love this van and are only selling because our family outgrew the queen bed and need a larger RV that sleeps four. Otherwise, we’d keep The Panda forever.
