1997 Hyundai Grace H100

For sale!

After months of searching for the ideal vehicle to explore Patagonia, we chose this van for its perfect balance of reliability, capability, and affordability. It proved to be a dependable home on wheels, comfortably supporting two people living full-time for 4 months while carrying gear for fly fishing, rock climbing, and mountaineering.

With its high-torque diesel engine and lifted, high-clearance body, this van performs exceptionally well on rough and off-road terrain. Combined with a solid solar and dual-battery system, it’s fully equipped for off-grid living — we comfortably stayed автономous for up to a week at a time.

• Oil & filter changes (2x)
