Because it’s a commercial vehicle, it’s extra weight that does not add to its function.
I’ve seen some converted ambulances. Where diesel power worked out. I was on the list for the original EARTHROAMER
But electric is really pushing it for a non-City vehicle. PAST the weight & space inefficiency.
You make backing sound hard. It isn’t.
I’d still continue to think long and hard about so much money & effort into something a long ways from fuel.

- A Penske 12 foot box truck is about 6,300 lbs with a GVW of 9900 lbs
- Same cutaway chassis as an ambulance
- Smaller than an EarthRoamer (My entire budget is less than the deposit)
- I'm not planning on doing an electric RV (See post 25)
- A hybrid system could be interesting but likely wouldn't cost justify.
The Penske box truck is 78 sq ft
A Ford Transit XL is 53 sq ft
My current Astro campervan is 33 sq ft
