How It Works

The multi-functional Free Bird camper creates easy everyday versatility. For starters our exclusive Slide and Glide floor allows all the components to be installed or removed in roughly two minutes. This allows you the opportunity to still have a cargo van when you’re not on a grand adventure, but when nature calls this van has everything you need to camp in comfort. There is the large storage box behind the front two seats that also houses the deep cycle auxiliary battery that powers the dimmable LED lighting, 2 USB power ports and the 31-quart fridge in the kitchen box. This kitchen box also has a portable butane stove along with two added storage drawers. The large dinette seating area allows for game nights and meals where you can sit across from one another. When it’s time for bed simply roll down the curtains and convert the dinette into a true full-size bed. On those warm nights open the screen vented side windows and turn on the overhead fan for some great ventilation. The optional Batwing awning provides you a large covered area around two sides of your vehicle and the storage pod allows you to bring those added ‘just in case’ items. The Free Bird also offers an optional bike carrier.

As you can see the Free Bird is an all-around ‘swiss army knife’ of camper vans that is fun to drive, gets 25 mpg and is backed by a 5 year/100k mile drive train warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sets the Free bird apart from other small campers?

A true full size bed: 54” wide and 76” long.
Exclusive Slide & Glide floor that allows the van to be converted back to cargo van in 2 minutes.
Large, easy to use dinette for meals and games.
Great price point with new car dealership financing (yes, we even take trade-ins).
Access in and out through both sliding doors.

Why no added occupant seating in the back?

SAFETY! The U.S. spec Nissan NV200 is not safety tested for rear occupants. Nissan did design an NV200 taxi but spent hundreds of thousands in testing and in the end had to add safety features such as rear airbags and added structural support to make that compliant. It is not enough to simply install ‘safety tested seats’ without making sure the actual vehicle body has been crashed tested and proved worthy of handling a side impact. It should also be noted that the European version of the NV200 is a very different vehicle and has been engineered differently.

How does the charging system for the auxiliary battery work?

We use a Blue Sea Systems automatic charging relay to assure that the starting battery and the auxiliary battery are both charged and that only the deep cycle auxiliary battery is used for all added electrical features.

Why the Nissan NV200 platform?

So many reasons, but here are the top four:

Fuel efficiency (25 mpg)
5yr/100,000-mile drivetrain warranty
We are a multi-point Nissan dealer
Best use of space in its class (our opinion)

How heavy is the added conversion components?

Approximately 550lbs bringing the total weight of the vehicle to approximately 3,760lbs. The GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is 4,751lbs before roof mounted accessories and passengers.

Why butane versus propane?

Ease of use, a little cheaper and takes up less room.

What is the height of the vehicle?

78 inches with roof vent open. Same height with the rack and 85.5 inches with the awning.

Can I buy some or all of these components separately?

No, you cannot purchase the components that make up the interior of the Free Bird separately. The installation expertise, safety requirements, and attention to detail are too much for us to provide it as a do it yourself install. We also want to make sure that all products coming through Caravan Outfitter are one and the same for resale value.

Can the Free Bird camper van be financed?

Yes, upon approval of credit we are able to secure new vehicle financing.

Do you take trade-ins?

Yes. We can take any motorized vehicle in on trade.

Do you ship vehicles out of state?

Yes, but we have the customer arrange their transportation directly. We can supply the customer with the contact information to make that process more convenient.

Does this vehicle come in AWD and/or with an electric powertrain?

Neither option is available in North America currently.
