The dimensions of the wheelbase measure the distance between the front and back wheels – the Regular is at 130”, the Long is at 148”, and the Extended Long is at 148” with an extension behind the back wheels. We have built in both Long and Extended Long transits, and we recommend either of these lengths over the Regular. The options you have with the Transit are Regular, Long and Extended Long. For those who want to have all the space in the world, then go with the Extended Long. This aspect of the van will determine how much space you have to build in for your conversion. This could be completely based on your personal preference. The length of the Transit can depend on the layout of your build and what features you are interested in. High Roof – Works for those up to 6 feet 6.5 inches tall. Medium Roof – An option for those who are shorter than 5 feet 8 inches. We have found that the high roof in Transits have met the needs of our clients.

We do not personally recommend that here, and we do not install pop-tops in our shop. At Freedom Vans, we have recieved questions about the option of getting a pop-top to add height. So, if you are taller than 5’8″, the high roof height will be the best option. The high roof gives 81.5″/6’9.5″, and after insulation it would give at least 6 feet 6 inches of height. Freedom Vans will insulate between 2-2.75″ on the ceiling, which would give 5’9″ to 5’10” of height. The medium roof height will give you 72 inches, or 6 feet on the interior.
The roof height options are short, medium and high, and we recommend high or medium.
For some, color is an important feature of the van and that might outweigh the temperature considerations. A lighter color will help keep the temperatures cooler in warm climates. It is good to consider that black will get hot in the summer as it retains heat from the sun. Go with your personal choice for paint color on your Transit. It is not impossible to convert a crew/passenger van. If you are set on a crew/passenger, then the likely upsides would be having bench seats or passenger seats that would not need to be installed later in a cargo. It will likely bring the cost of your van down considerably from what the cost of a crew/passenger would be.

Also, if you are considering a crew/passenger van for the windows, you should still go with a cargo because windows can always be added exactly where you would like. There are many reasons for this, but essentially it makes the process from the start more efficient.

To build a full conversion in a van, it is best to start with a fully blank slate for the interior. The choice of going with a cargo Transit van has a lot of upsides. We recommend going to your local dealership to look at and test drive a van in person, or renting a van on Outdoorsy (basically the airbnb of camper rentals) to experience firsthand what kind of van is best for you. The following list includes basic recommendations- remember that it is ultimately up to your personal preference. ( ‘Elroy’ and ‘Rex’ are examples of Transit conversions.) Also, reference Freedom Vans’ past builds on our websites project gallery.
You can build your own Transit van on the Ford website to get an idea of features and cost. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any further questions. Since then we have had much inquiry around what these might be for a Ford Transit, and we are here to provide! Below you will find all the recommendations we give when you go through the process of ordering a 2021 Ford Transit van for your #vanlife. Welcome to Freedom Vans’ Ford Transit ordering recommendations post! Freedom Vans recently published an article with recommendations on ordering a Mercedes Sprinter van for a conversion.
