She has lots of custom features including a diesel stovetop, side pop out window, and electric refrigerator. Click through for a video walk through of this adventure vehicle.

The whitewalls add a certain funky character to this two tone green Vanagon. It looks like she may sport a sun roof (or solar panel) up top with a yellow sun visor on the front. Not bad.

It appears to be two high top Vanagon campers put together, with the rear being more of a trailer that extends the front van. They are carrying a minibike on the front bumper, and […]]]> https://www.vanagonhacks.com/2025/09/double-cab-beater-with-wood-bed/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=double-cab-beater-with-wood-bed https://www.vanagonhacks.com/2025/09/double-cab-beater-with-wood-bed/#respond Thu, 25 Sep 2025 17:19:42 +0000 http://www.vanagonhacks.com/?p=3724 This double cab looks like a beater.

Unlike yesterday’s dropped Vanagon that someone named “Shorty,” this single cab looks short in another way. Don’t the wheels look closer together than normal? Everything about this one is top notch. The rear bed’s side panels are short and look how nice the black is.

It’s a white dually. Other than the fact that it has 2 axles, this truck isn’t all that special. It looks stock in almost every other way. It’s very cool though. Click through for another pic.
