CARFAX Report
A 7.3L Power Stroke turbo diesel, Timberline 4×4 conversion, and custom camper interior form the foundation of this 1998 Ford E-350, offered for sale by private party in Fountain Hills, Arizona, with 178,000 miles. Built for backcountry travel, the van pairs a 5-inch suspension lift with steel bumpers, a COMEUP winch, onboard air, and an extensive collection of camping and recovery equipment.

Inside, professionally fabricated cabinetry anchors a layout equipped with lithium house batteries, 200 watts of solar, Dometic refrigeration, diesel heat, and a 20-gallon freshwater system. According to the seller, this two-owner E-350 has spent its entire life in Arizona and remains rust-free. Its original owner was a local utility company, with fleet maintenance reported during that ownership.
  • 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel & Arizona History: Powered by Ford’s 7.3L Power Stroke turbo diesel with dual starting batteries, this E-350 shows 178,000 miles. The seller reports two owners, lifelong Arizona residency, and a rust-free body, with its early service spent in a local utility fleet.
  • Timberline 4×4 Conversion & Recovery Equipment: A Timberline Vans four-wheel-drive conversion and 5-inch suspension lift are complemented by 18-inch XD Series wheels and LT295/70R18 tires. MOVE steel bumpers, a COMEUP winch with wired and wireless controls, and an ARB dual air compressor add protection and recovery equipment for remote travel.
  • Custom Interior Built for Backcountry Use: Designed and fabricated by an experienced metal fabrication professional, the interior features reinforced cabinet joints and mounting directly to the van’s structure. Butcher-block countertops, organized kitchen storage, rear locking slide-outs, and multiple MOLLE panels provide dedicated space for supplies and equipment. The seller reports thousands of miles of off-road use without cabinet construction or structural failures.
  • Solar, Lithium Power & Camping Comfort: Two Renogy 100-watt solar panels charge dual 12-volt lithium house batteries, supported by a solar controller, pure sine inverter, and interior power monitoring. A diesel heater, MaxxAir roof fan, insulated wall and ceiling panels, and window covers support camping in changing conditions.
  • Integrated Galley & Exterior Camp Setup: A Dometic dual-zone refrigerator/freezer, full-size sink, 20-gallon freshwater tank, and exterior rinse hose cover everyday camp needs. Outside, a Carefree Colorado awning, folding table, custom roof rack, dual rear swing-outs, and 40-gallon auxiliary fuel transfer/storage tank expand the van’s utility.
This E-350 brings together a diesel platform, a Timberline 4×4 conversion, and a custom interior designed around storage, durability, and practical camp use. The build incorporates substantial exterior cargo capacity while preserving interior space for cooking, sleeping, and organizing equipment. Its reinforced cabinetry and equipment mounting reflect the builder’s professional fabrication background.

It is also a used adventure vehicle with specific considerations for its next owner. The seller discloses age-related cosmetic wear and intermittent transmission shift-point variations associated with the Dakota Digital transmission controller. The transverse sleeping arrangement was designed around a builder approximately 5 feet, 5 inches tall, so taller buyers should verify the available sleeping length.
