2017 Ford Transit 350HD High Roof Diesel


story:

Chase is a linebacker for the New Orleans Saints and came to us with a unique request. He wanted to live outside the Superdome in a special area the owners of the team set aside for players to use. Rather than an RV, Chase wanted something designed specifically for him. This utilization will allow him to be in close proximity to the stadium and focus on football with minimal distractions.

Chase brought us “Buddy”, his dually diesel van to get started. Because of Chase’s size and the importance of sleep for performance, we started with designing the bed to fit his 6’4” frame. From there we designed his kitchen space, which features an extended butcher block countertop and stainless steel appliances.

The van was equipped with plenty of storage via overhead cabinets, compartments under the sofa, and a hefty garage space.

Chase chose his custom finishes including upholstery, curtains, bedding and tile - sporting a masculine vibe without feeling sterile.

Once Chase’s boho-living turns into enormous success on the field, boho plans on outfitting vans for the entire Saints team (they just don’t know it yet).
