As tough as the Ford chassis it’s built on, the Link 148 is designed to be a generational RV—durable, rugged, and dependable for years to come.
We’re not chasing the latest tech trends or building flashy vehicles for show. At Grit Overland, our focus is providing a reliable, rugged, and adventure-ready off-grid Class B camper van for sale that works when you need it most.

Grit Overland is focused on customer experience, not the EGO of building “the coolest van.” The Link is Durable, Rugged, and, most importantly, Reliable!
The Link 148 is as tough as the Ford chassis it’s built on. Constructed with aluminum welded frames and bolts anchored into threaded holes, the Link is designed for easy serviceability and long-term durability.

The Link 148 camper van has many features, including bathroom capabilities. It’s designed and built to be a generational RV lasting a lifetime.
Safety & Certifications
 TIG Welded Joints
 Designed for the sheer forces produced in a moving vehicle.
 Rigid structures to prevent collapsing.
 All Aluminum Cabinet Frames
 Cabinet panels are fastened with machine screws
 Aluminum frames are mounted to the body of the van for SAFETY
Meets FMVSS (“Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards”) rating for the United States.
All Grit Overland Van Models are inspected, certified & receive a serial number. (Our manufacturing exceeds all fire safety, electrical & plumbing industry standards.)
UV-Stabilized Marine Board
- Stands up to the elements without absorbing moisture.
- Doesn’t require edge band finishing or coatings to seal it & make it look good. (These are 2 major points of failure we totally avoid).
Top-Of-The-Line Vinyl Flooring
We’ve tested dozens of flooring materials & this is the best we’ve found thus far.
The flooring material is only half of the durability equation. We also consider the compatible methods for adhering it.
- Will it stay adhered under extreme conditions? (Like: cold, heat, direct sunlight).
- What does it look like after heavy use? (Scratched, dented, under heavy items, after wet items, etc.)
Marine-Grade Upholstery Material
Even our upholstery includes a water proof layer, to prevent moisture from penetrating into the underlying substrate.
Lighter Panel Material
Because our framing creates the needed structural support, we can use lighter panel material in many places.
Locally Sourced & Sustainable Materials
We locally source panels made from 100% plantation and sustainable wood sources that contain no tropical species.
Go Farther & Stay Longer
The Best Off-Road Experience
Built on the highly capable AWD Ford Transit Chassis the Link 148 is ready to GO anywhere. The thoughtfully designed undercarriage makes sure that any externally mounted components like the gray water tank do not impede your road clearance. Pairing that with rugged Method Race wheels and Falken Wildpeaks AT winter-rated tires means you can go farther without worries.
At Grit Overland we build our Class B camper vans that we offer for sale to be the launch pad for adventure. Enjoy the best off-road experience in a Link 148.
