Go Shorty, Go Far
Shorty is a small but mighty Ford E150 camper van. A van like this is a great way to try the vanlife for the first time. Its simple, yet functional design makes camping easy. Plus, its small, nimble design makes driving and parking a breeze.
The comfy bucket seats, Bluetooth radio, backup camera, and keyless power lock, make Shorty perfect for a long-distance trip. Not to mention it has cruise control and gets 12-19 mpg on most roads.
Get some shut-eye after a long day of adventuring in the queen-sized bed that can sleep up to three people. And when you’re not getting in some zzz’s, the bed converts into a dining area with plenty of room for the entire crew. Cook inside or out using the portable dual-burner gas stove provided.
With a state-of-the-art 288WH 1200W Ecoflow River power station, you’ll be able to charge all of your devices, including your laptop, cell phone, or even a small projector. The portable battery system recharges using the van’s engine, which only takes an hour and a half to charge from empty to full. So, just turn on the van or go for a drive when you need more juice!
Even with its small size, Shorty has plenty of storage space too. Store small items like clothes and toiletries under the bed or in the four drawers under the counter. And if you need more storage space, add an extra cargo box that attaches to the hitch.
Travel far in Shorty.
