If you’ve been following us here on OFFGRIDweb or our social media channels, you’ll probably recognize Sara Liberte. She’s the traveling photographer and videographer who has been working on a custom 2017 GMC Savana home-on-wheels/bug-out vehicle known to this point as the Battle Van. For those who haven’t seen our previous articles yet, we’d suggest you check them out: Part 1 and Part 2.

Sara Liberte’s van build has been progressing nicely in the past few months, and we were glad to hear she has received lots of useful feedback from RECOIL OFFGRID readers. So, as a thank you to all of you who have been following her build, she created an exclusive tour video that shows off her van’s interior and exterior upgrades.

There’s a custom mattress, computer desk, refrigerator, sound system, auxiliary electrical system with solar panels, tons of storage compartments, and much more. Watch the full video tour below:

Since the Battle Van name was just a working title, Sara also ran a naming contest with our friends at Breach Bang Clear, and has officially chosen a new name. She reveals the new official name in the following video:

It may not be able to outrun an Imperial starship and complete the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, but we certainly wouldn’t call Van Solo scruffy-lookin’.

Han Solo never tell me the odds

Seriously though, we’ll keep you posted with new updates from Sara as she continues the van build, but in the mean time you can check out Sara’s blog or follow her page on Facebook.
