2024 Ford Transit Dually

A heavy-duty 2023 Ford Transit AWD Dually conversion engineered by Bitterroot Builds for maximum stability and full-service off-grid living. This specialized build features an integrated indoor Vanwife shower, a microwave, and a premium waterfall butcher block countertop, all supported by a rugged 80/20 aluminum skeleton.
OVERVIEW

 The High-Capacity Dual-Rear-Wheel Sanctuary

The Ford Transit AWD Dually is the ultimate platform for those who refuse to leave the comforts of home behind. Engineered to handle a significantly higher payload than standard single-rear-wheel models, this rig was built to accommodate a full indoor Vanwife shower and a comprehensive kitchen suite including a microwave and full-size fridge. With the added traction of AWD and the stability of the dually rear axle, this conversion offers a smooth, confident ride across high-wind plains and steep mountain passes alike.

Interior layout & Design
Modern Coastal Comfort and Full-Suite Utility

The interior is defined by a "modern coastal" aesthetic, utilizing Custom Shiplap paneling and a stunning Butcher Block Waterfall Countertop. Despite the inclusion of a permanent indoor shower, the layout remains open and airy, thanks to the precision of our 80/20 extruded aluminum framing. The high-quality Baltic Birch cabinetry is finished with Wilsonart laminate, offering a durable, scratch-resistant surface that stands up to the rigors of travel. A fixed rear bed provides a permanent retreat, while the kitchen galley serves as a gourmet workspace for the culinary-minded explorer.


Off-grid systems & mobility
Reliable Power for Luxury Amenities

To support a power-hungry suite including a microwave and a Full-size 12V Fridge, we engineered a balanced electrical hub featuring 300Ah of Lithium power and a 2000/4000 watt pure sine wave inverter. Climate control is handled by the Airtronic D2 diesel heater and a MaxxFan Deluxe, ensuring 4-season comfort. The water system is a highlight of this build, featuring a tankless water heater that services both the Vanwife indoor shower and the stainless steel sink, all fed by a 20-gallon fresh water tank designed for multi-day autonomy.
