Description

Sale pending. My wife is making me do this: Reason for selling, I started building my electric Xenos airplane and she says I can’t keep both. This four-season off-grid semi-stealth van was built by me in 2021. I am an electrical engineer, a jack of all trades, and an aircraft builder… but especially skilled at high-power, high-voltage systems. During the COVID lockdown, I re-imagined what a camper van could be by adapting Elon Musk’s design philosophy:

1. Making the requirements less dumb. (Fully insulated. No loud, inefficient AC compressors on the roof. No holes in roof or side to prevent water intrusion, open architecture. Eliminated heavy cabinets. Lightweight ceiling, side, and front bulkhead.)

2. Delete the part or process. (One faucet. No sink. No gray water plumbing. No propane. No shower. No need for winterization.)

3. Simplify and optimize the design. (Only one water pipe needed. One tank for black and gray water. Streamline entire exterior for higher MPG. High-voltage battery from Tesla eliminated 50 lb of wire.)

I also incorporated knowledge gained from over 200 youtube videos and websites: an insulated living space, powerful electrical, HVAC and water systems that maximize off-grid ability, with all the conveniences as shown below. A Winnebago engineer said it is at least five years more advanced than anything on the market in terms of what is shown in the following photos.
