BTR Outfitters, owned and operated by the Hanner family (which also owns Hanner Chevrolet and Hanner RV in Abilene, Texas), has announced a new program aimed squarely at providing assistance to those displaced by the wildfires in Southern California. With the combination of thousands of people in search of housing, rental shortages and shortages of properties to purchase in the areas affected by wildfires, some people are facing the prospect of long-term living with friends and family, moving out of the area or perhaps even homelessness. That’s where BTR Outfitters comes in, the company said.
The overland outfitter based in Abilene, Texas, is offering its entire inventory of conversion vans at wholesale prices. This represents a savings of up to $35,000, depending on the model. These conversion vans are completely turnkey with all the features and amenities necessary to have a comfortable and secure place to sleep, prepare meals, eat and work. Many of the vans currently in stock have restroom facilities, too, making them a true home on wheels.
In-stock options include conversions with a Chevy Express, Mercedes Sprinter or Ford Transit base. The features on these vans run the gamut from off-road suspensions to garage storage with slideout trays to pop-top roofs that accommodate additional sleeping quarters.
While van-life may not be for everyone as a long-term solution, BTR Outfitters said it truly believes that it’s a great option for some of the folks who have lost everything in the California fires and have possibly even contemplated or dreamed of this lifestyle. These vans are ready to go and can provide almost immediate shelter for people in dire need of a place to stay. Offering them at wholesale is how BTR Outfitters feels it can best serve its fellow Americans in this dire time.
If you or someone you know has been displaced by the fires, contact BTR Outfitters at 888-323-5902, option 4. Please let the BTR team know when calling to get wholesale pricing. BTR Outfitters said it will assist in arranging or coordinating delivery, too.
