This Itasca Viva/Winnebago Trend has been custom up-fitted as a long duration off grid home base. Improvements include:

600 watts Solar via 2 large LG residential panels on roof
1,500 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Remote
Victron MPPT Solar Charge Controller with Bluetooth Monitoring
LifeBlue 150 ah Lithium Ion Battery with built in Bluetooth Battery Monitor and BMS (yes, actually integrated into the battery itself!)
Automatic Transfer Swtich
Fresh Water upgraded from ~20 gallons effective stock capacity to 51 gallons
Fresh water tank fill via city water connection
Side bench seat converted to bicycle rack for two full bikes - keeping your precious babies locked away safely. Can be converted back to a bench seat in about 5 minutes with a screwdriver.
Generator Delete (no longer needed, with the above mods)
External propane port for Camp Chef stove

The ideal buyer for this adventure rig is someone (or a couple) who want all the convenience of an RV, but do not want to be tied to RV parks or full hookup sites. This rig is 24' long - same as a long wheelbase Sprinter van - but with the extra width/height and square sides it's FAR more livable than most Sprinters. Travling solo, I can easily go 10 days off grid without trying - even taking showers and cooking. The fresh water capacity is roughly 2.5 times the effective stock capacity, and the black and grey tanks can be combined for a total of 75 gallons. With the ample solar and large lithium battery you can even run the fridge off solar during the daytime if you want. The front seats swivel around and a keyboard tray has been fitted under the dining table so that the driver's seat can also be your office. The shower is fully enclosed - not a wet bath. On demand hot water heater provides hot water, and a propane furnace keeps you warm on cold nights. The mattress is an 8" Perfect Cloud Memory Foam mattress custom cut to fit. It's a few inches smaller than a full size mattress - easily sleeps two and a dog or two. While not a 4X4, I've taken this thing through blizzards and on BLM roads all over the west, and it's never let me down. The side bench has been converted to a bicycle rack capable of holding two bikes - if you love your bikes as much as I do you'd never sleep well a night knowing they are hanging off the back of your rig. It can easily be converted back if so desired. I've de-badged it where possible and removed much of the vinyl graphcis that came stock - it's much more low profile this way. It's been recently professionally detailed both inside and out. Many of the odds and ends can come along with the sale if so desired.

I am in Santa Barbara, the RV is currently in gated storage in Lompoc. Happy to meet any serious buyer within reasonable distance of either.
