encore
client: melodie
2019 Ford Transit 250 High Roof
story:
Recently retired, Melodie knew she wanted to relive her time spent years ago touring the east coast in a VW Bus, but with a boho style upgrade. Her newfound freedom has given her aspirations to donate her time to others in need - whether it be with migrant centers in southern AZ or elsewhere. Encore will be a catalyst for change in both Melodie’s life and others.
Encore is the first edition of boho’s new “tall deluxe” model. It’s upgraded solar/electrical system will allow off-grid camping in both sunny and cloudy weather, with multiple systems in play to keep a charge on her ancillary battery bank.
The design has flavors of the southwest, with hints of agate patterns in the floor treatment and aztec patterns in the upholstery. Warm LED lights illuminate the van with tiered lighting surrounding the above-bed hatch cabinets.
Flexibility is key with Encore; a hidden portable toilet provides a comfortable throne for emergencies, and a removable Lagun swivel table can be used for dining or stowed away in the garage when not in use.
An upgraded kitchen keeps perishables temperature controlled and a 2-burner kitchenette can be extended with extra counter space for prep.
Under the bed, a spacious garage allows Melodie to pack along extra creature comforts from home - complete with an outdoor shower hookup to wash up after enjoying life on the road.
