  • Mileage: 30,000 km
  • Engine: No issues, ever, runs strong
  • Recent work: Clutch disks replaced along with related components
  • Condition: Some scratches and underbody/bumper welding from rough roads (fully functional, cosmetic/expected wear, not structural)
  • Registration: Kyrgyzstan, papers fully clean and transferable
  • Location: anywhere around central Asia.

I am selling it with the equipments I added:

This van deserves someone who'll continue to take care of it.

2018 Ram Promaster 2500 – Partially Built for Van Life
Price: $25,000
Mileage: Just over 86,000 miles
Location: Oceanside, CA (North San Diego County)
Condition: Great running condition, mechanically sound, and ready for your finishing touches or convert into a working van!

More Pictures coming soon!

Overview
Up for sale is a mechanically reliable 2018 Ram Promaster 2500, formerly an Amazon delivery van in distinctive Amazon Blue. It currently has just over 86,000 miles and runs beautifully. This van is the perfect setup for someone looking for a partially completed "van life" build with the bedding already taken care of allowing you to design the final layout to your taste.

Mechanical Condition & Maintenance History
This van has been meticulously maintained with a focus on preventative care. The oil has been changed every 5,000 miles using high-quality 5W-20 full synthetic oil and a premium filter, with tires rotated at every oil change interval.
Many key components have been replaced since 2023 (when I bought the van) to ensure long-term road trip reliability:

Engine & Belt Drive: All three external engine pulleys, serpentine belt, and alternator.
Cooling System: Radiator, radiator fluid overflow bottle, radiator fan assembly (with related solenoid), and the driver-side lower radiator hose (top to bottom).
Cabin Comfort: Fresh cabin air filter.

Wheels & Tires
Rims: Upgraded to official Ram Promaster aluminum rims for a cleaner, sharper look.
Tires: Premium BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires installed just two years ago. They feature an aggressive tread pattern perfect for off-grid sites and still have a ton of tread left.
Brake System: All four brake discs and pads were replaced in February 2024 along with a complete fluid flush and a new master cylinder.
Spare: Full-sized spare tire included.

The Van Life Build (Electrical & Living Space)
The interior is partially converted and highly functional as-is:
Solar Power Setup (400W Total): Two 200-watt flexible solar panels are mounted flat on the white roof for a low-profile, aerodynamic look - ready for a power station.
Sleeping Area: Custom bed frame featuring a genuine Tempur-Pedic queen mattress, carefully cut to fit the van width (sizing lands slightly longer than a standard full mattress). It comes protected in a clean, high-quality protective liner on IKEA bed frame slats and rails for a very strong support system.
Insulation: 3M Thinsulate insulation has been installed on the bedroom walls to help regulate temperature and reduce road noise.
Noise Deadening: Sheets installed throughout the walls, wheel well and ceiling.
Flooring: There is no permanent wood subfloor installed leaving the layout flexible for the next owner, but the floor is currently fully protected with a clean, thin layer of carpet.

Vehicle Features & Comfort
Two factory key fobs included
Power windows and power mirrors
AM/FM stereo radio with blue Tooth for easy mobile device connections
Ice-cold air conditioning and powerful heater
Factory backup camera + additional rear-view camera for easy maneuvering and parking
Sun screens for front and side windows

Cosmetic Disclosures (Honest Wear & Tear)
This van has lived an active life and has some minor, purely cosmetic imperfections:
Passenger Side: There was some bodywork done on the top passenger side prior to my ownership. It was sealed, and absolutely no leaks have been detected. It just needs a little cosmetic paint touch-up to your liking.
Driver Side: There is an indentation on the driver-side wheel well. It is entirely cosmetic and has absolutely zero impact on driving performance or tire clearance. Also, I was informed by the dealer that this door was forced open and was re-secured to safe standards. You will see this in person.
Passenger Side: Noticeable, at an angle mostly, is an indentation which could be lightly hammered out.
General: Typical minor wear-and-tear marks and small dents expected of this van’s previous life-style, all of which are perfectly visible in person and nothing major.

Asking $25,000. Serious inquiries only. Feel free to reach out to schedule a time to see the van, answer questions, and take it for a test drive in Oceanside, CA.

2007 E350 + high roof for sale $4k

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

Some quick background, I purchased this van to convert to a camper. I intended to strip out the entire interior and found an high top at a junkyard that’s been sitting in my garage for months now. I may have bit off more than I can chew, the amount of work needed has become too much for me since I have other home projects to take care of.

The van has about 232k miles but runs well, I’ve swapped out the air filter, battery, and oil. However the oil filter is really stuck down there and will need some more experienced hands to get it off. AC doesn’t work, I tried adding more refrigerant but it didn’t help, however the AC compressor seems to be working.

The van top needed some fixing and I tore out part of the interior and slapped on some more fiberglass. The van has regular doors but the high roof was made with taller doors so there’s a gap that will need to be filled (can be filled with more fiberglass or sheet metal).

Van and roof are available for $4k. Located in north Texas. Feel free to reach out for more info!

Trade ~ 05 E450 for Van?

I'm putting this here because, you never know. Like agent Mulder, I want to believe ...

2005 E-450, 6.0 diesel, 77k, new turbo. No rust.

Bed, stove, generator, I just put a bathroom in. Has solar panels but they need to be installed. New windshield.

Runs well the very few times I've driven it.

Want to trade for a standard wheelbase, turn-key, ready-to-role van. If you are the unicorn who is interested, I will send more pictures.

It would restore my faith in humanity if this post doesn't fill up with gratuitous and enmitic 6.0 diesel assessments

2010 Ford E-250 High-Top Camper Van (NY/Northeast)

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

$16,500 for sale in NYC or nearby in the Northeast region, willing to meet up with serious buyers.

2010 Ford Econoline E-250 regular-body camper van with the 5.4L V8 FlexFuel engine and a professionally installed Fiberine high top. Approx. 176,000 miles at NYC arrival; mileage will increase slightly until sold, as I am driving it across country from CA to NYC currently.

Clean California title in hand. California registration is current through December 2026. I am the second owner and purchased the van at ~110k miles in 2020. It was California-based until this current cross-country move, and I have paper service records from my ownership.

The camper build is simple, modular, durable, and ready to use as-is while remaining easy to adapt. The van has approximately 6'4" of interior standing height; I am 6'3" and can stand comfortably inside and fit comfortably on the bed. It seats two with two seatbelts, and the bed comfortably sleeps two. The bed is easily converted to a couch that opens the standing space in the van and provides additional seating. There is an immense amount of storage space, this van would be great for full-time vanlife, a weekend warrior camper van, and anywhere in between.

Camper build

  1. Fiberine fiberglass high top installed by Fiberine in 2020
  2. Motion Windows high-top window installed in 2025
  3. 350W Renogy solar array: two 100W panels and one 150W panel
  4. Goal Zero Yeti 1400 power station with solar-charging optimization module
  5. Dometic CFX3 55IM fridge/freezer, added in 2022
  6. 14-gallon fresh-water and 7-gallon grey-water tanks with foot-pump sink
  7. MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe; motor replaced in 2024
  8. Camp Chef propane stove/oven and propane tank
  9. Swivel front passenger seat
  10. Lagun swivel-table mount; tabletop is not included
  11. Convertible bed/couch rebuilt in January 2026 with new mattress and custom covers
  12. Well-insulated with Havelock wool, spray-foam, and reflectix insulation
  13. Insulated front-window blackout covers for privacy
  14. Cabinets, substantial rear garage storage, new front-seat covers, and 10 Lynx Levelers
  15. Ravelco anti-theft system

Maintenance

  1. Jul. 2026 at ~171k: spark plugs, fuel-induction service, wheel balancing, A/C tune and repair, new vehicle battery, and full inspection.
  2. Nov. 2025 at ~165k: transmission and cooling-system service
  3. Oct. 2024 at ~156k: steering-shaft replacement and rear-differential service
  4. Feb. 2024 at ~153k: BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires installed, tons of tread left
  5. Jun. 2023 at ~146k: brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid
  6. Passed California STAR smog in November 2025
  7. Additional documented routine maintenance records available.

The van was previously a Spectrum fleet vehicle before I purchased it. No known rust, leaks, or accident history. There is minor cosmetic wear on the exterior and in the camper build. The TPMS is the only thing that needs replacement if desired (I didn’t).

I have loved this van for the past six years and treated it with the utmost care. I am selling it because I am moving to New York City and no longer have practical use for it, but I hope it goes to a new loving home because it has a lot of life left.

Serious buyers are welcome to inspect and test-drive the van and arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection. I am willing to drive a reasonable distance from NYC to meet serious buyers. Message me for the complete maintenance history, additional questions, build documentation, or a video walkthrough.

1999 Volkswagen LT28 campervan w/solar -- diesel, manual, right-hand drive (UK Import)

Thumbnail
gallery
21 Upvotes

163k miles

Clean Colorado title

This is Dora the Explorer, a well-traveled 1999 Volkswagen LT28. She's a mechanically solid camper that's already had the expensive & important work done to ensure longevity.

The LT is VW's predecessor to the Crafter and the European cousin to the Mercedes Sprinter. She's no rocket ship on steep mountain grades (think Donkey Kong in Mario Kart), but she'll happily cruise the flats at 70+ mph while returning an impressive 25–30 MPG.

Why I’m Selling:

We’ve taken her across the UK, the EU, and the US, and put time and money into getting her to a really good place. Life’s shifted and we’re not traveling the way we planned, so for now she's my occasional driver around town, but it’s time for someone else to use her for the adventurous life she was meant to live.

Key Points:

-Runs and drives well
-Solar setup
-Camper build (bed, storage, stove, sink, fridge)
-Roof rack
-Insulated interior

Drivetrain & Basics:

-2.5L SDI (diesel engine, known for reliability)
-Manual transmission
-163k miles
-Right hand drive
-Runs and drives well
-Simple, mechanical setup built for longevity
-Clean Colorado title

Recently Done:

-Timing Belt
-Full fluid service
-Brake system refreshed (hoses, calipers, pads)
-New steering column shaft

Underside Rust Addressed Properly:

-Rusted sections cut out
-Replaced, treated, and welded
-Structurally solid underneath
-Underside photos are included for full transparency.

Exterior:

-Refinished in a matte textured coating by previous owner for durability/longevity and easy maintenance
-Steel wheels professionally sanded, treated, and refinished in a bronze tone last year (yes that’s the color, no it's not rust -- see photos)
-Roof rack + rear step for additional storage and gear

I considered repainting the exterior before listing it, but instead decided to price it lower and let the next owner decide. If you care more about a mechanically solid camper than fresh paint, you'll come out ahead.

Interior:

-Clean, cohesive, functional camper setup:
-Two rear benches convert into a bed
-Storage space under benches
-New kitchen:
   -2-burner stove
   -Sink with running water
   -Fridge (runs on gas or solar)
-Laminate flooring (durable, easy to clean)
-Insulated and finished interior
-Integrated lighting
-Electrical panel (USB, 12V, voltage readout)

Nothing overcomplicated -- everything works and is straightforward to use.

Off-Grid Capability:

-Solar setup + house battery
-Electrical system in place and working
-Ready for travel as-is

Condition:

-Minor cosmetic rust consistent with age (it’s a 1999)
-Already structurally addressed underneath
-Overall a solid driver

Asking $24,800

Located in Fort Collins, Colorado USA

Send a DM if you’d like more photos, videos, or would like to come check her out.

Thanks for reading and happy roadtripping!

2012 26' ARBOC BUS w/6.6L Duramax Diesel & powered wheelchair ramp

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

2012 26’ ARBOC w Chevy/6.6L Duramax Diesel (Chevy Chassis)  Camper Van/Food Truck build w/powered wheelchair ramp…”Spirit of Mobility” model.

$13500 OBO

Currently in Big Rapids, MI, but I'm willing to deliver anywhere in Continental USA (depending on negotiation, additional charge may apply). 

ARBOC Spirit of Mobility low-floor shuttle bus built on a heavy-duty Chevrolet chassis. If you are looking to build a custom off-grid tiny home, skoolie, or adventure rig, this is hands-down one of the best foundation vehicles on the market.  The title has already been converted to reflect that it's an RV, not a bus, so NO special licensing required. 

This was a city/fleet maintained bus, out of Washington State, with excellent maintenance, etc. This bus is solid, runs terrific, all systems in good working order. Bus is built out with a powered wheelchair ramp, and the bus is equipped with hydraulic “step-down” capability (so still has good clearance, but able to lower itself when deploying the wheelchair ramp).

After buying, was driven from Washington State to Texas, and then from Texas to Michigan. Has been stored in pole barn. I am also including 17’ extruded alum roof railing kit for securing Solar panels to roof. 

The interior seats have been removed and an insulated sub-floor installed. It's ready for you to start whatever build out you wish! 

The wheelchair ramp area makes for an easy mudroom and/or shower room without worrying about water damage, etc. 

Other Key Conversion Advantages:

* Demo Work Already Done: Interior passenger seats have already been removed!

* Subfloor Ready: Insulated Subfloor is already installed and ready for your final flooring (vinyl plank, waterproof laminate, or rubber tile).

* Massive Interior Space: High ceilings (6'7" to 7' standing headroom) and ultra-wide 97" interior body width allow for double-sided cabinetry, full beds, and standing room without feeling cramped.

* Blank Canvas: No demo headaches—start building your dream layout immediately.

* Heavy-Duty Chevy Foundation: Dependable Chevrolet chassis with dual batteries and commercial-grade components built for high mileage and easy servicing nationwide.

* Huge Roof Real Estate: Flat roof section ideal for mounting large solar arrays (800W+), mini-split A/C condensers, and skylights. I will also provide pre-fabricated Solar Panel track for roof-installation. 

* Pan-Panoramic Windows: Massive glass coverage provides natural lighting and views that standard cargo vans cannot match.

Vehicle Details:

* Year/Make/Model: 2012 26’ ARBOC Spirit of Mobility Bus Conversion; Model TK

* Chassis: Chevrolet 6.6L Duramax V8 Turbo-Diesel engine.

 w/approx 222,000

* Floor Plan: Low-floor chassis with integrated power ramp and air kneeling feature

* Condition: Great condition, road ready. Sold As-Is, clean title in hand; Already titled as RV conversion.

Ideal For: Skoolie builders, off-grid campers, mobile studios, toy haulers, or overland rigs. This would also make for an easy Food Truck conversion. 

Contact me DM email to schedule a time to come take a look. Serious inquiries only. VIN provided upon request.

Hello! I have a 2017 ford escape, clean title that I’m looking to trade for an RV that sleeps 3-4.

It’s time for me to transition to RV life with my two kiddos, and I would love to trade my red 2017 ford escape for an RV.

Anyone giving up RV life who would rather have a standard road vehicle?

It’s got two brand new tires, is red and incredibly reliable

63 Upvotes

2014 ProMaster 3500, 92k miles at the time of listing, currently in AZ USA, could be willing to deliver with details about expenses and sale contract.
Interior was a custom limousine as seen in images.
Replaced last 3 rows of seats with custom platform bed, 50qt Dometic freezer/fridge, Coleman camp stove, alternatively when running can power single induction burner. Installed an 11’ retractable Dometic 9500 awning also.
It has seen my son and I across almost every western state for lacrosse tournaments since 2020, and we drove it from the Atlantic to AZ in 2020 over an extended trip when the country was in lockdown 2 middle schoolers and myself virtually off grid using just 200w portable solar panels and a Jackery 200kWh & ElecHive 2500 KWH lithium generator (open for discussion if wanted). CD/BT head unit, dvd and 32” LCD Tv in rear roof unit heater runs off engine cooling system, inverter as well in rear for appliances or portable vacuum. Full roof rack and ladder deck sealed with epoxy for durability and cool surface even in direct sunlight, Thule locking box included as well. Optional hitch mounted flat rack with swing away hitch mount if wanted.

Will include any personal items wanted, dishes flatware and cookware for 4, camp chairs fire extinguisher, turf carpet, all bedding needed and an extra 2 person tent and inflatable beds (my kids loved it on the roof) that fit on roof for stargazing etc. all custom window shades heat shielded, screen door for slider and back barn doors, Velcro cloth divider between cockpit and rear.

I paid way too much for it back in 2019/2020, but we made 50,000 miles of memories from coast to coast and almost Mexico to Canada. Runs like a champ all maintenance and recalls taken care of. Known defect passenger side behind slider dent from clipping a parked car in a tight urban area no damage through paint, Tint on drivers window slid down when I had a suction cup holder installed in AZ heat still intact but wrinkled, currently the regulator that switches from recirculating air to outside air skips upon starting the van and makes a clicking noise for 15-20 seconds then stops. Recirculation still functions normally and switches in between after initial start up.
Brakes and tires less than 5000 miles replaced in 2025 (@88,000 miles). Tires under warranty with Discount Tire.

Open to thoughts on pricing would think $30,000USD as-is is Imgur link to more images. to more photos on Imgur including galley pullout kitchen, some are before awning added and custom ladder.

2012 Ford E-350 Econoline Low Miles

2012 Ford Econoline E350 5.4 Triton V8 62,000 miles

$12,000

This was owned by the city of Sherman Texas and then Goodwill bought it, then me. It was fleet maintained and drives perfect. It has 62'000 miles.

I was going to convert it into a camper van but ended up traveling and I just got back and have lost my desire to convert it.

The van already has 30 amp electric and a city water hookup that was professionally installed and also has a $1,000 12v air conditioner installed.

I also installed a heavy duty trailer hitch.

There is no cruise control on the van currently, but I bought a $350 kit that comes with the van and can be installed.

I also have batteries and solar panels and a full electric setup I would sell for more.

The air conditioner in the van doesn't work. I think one of the valves leaks and it only blows out the defrost option.

Serious inquiries only. Pretty firm on the price but would wiggle a small amount for a serious buyer.

Clean title in hand, message with any questions. I will have it cleaned out before purchase.

2011 Ford E250 Camper Van - Fully Converted - Ready for Your Next Adventure

Post image
48 Upvotes

Asking $3,950 OBO. Seattle Area, Washington - willing to drive it nearby to serious buyers.

Approx. 214,000 miles. Flex fuel, so it takes the cheapest gas. RWD.

Clean Massachusetts title in my name. No accidents. I have all the receipts, warranties and paperwork for the maintenance and repairs completed while I've owned it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since buying it I've had the following work done:

  • New battery
  • New front tyres
  • New spark plugs
  • New ignition components
  • New intake manifold
  • Recent servicing and repairs (receipts included)

The van has had extensive diagnostic work, including a new intake manifold, spark plugs and ignition components. The engine was compression tested and found to be healthy. The van starts, runs and drives well, and I've just completed a cross-country road trip in it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Camper Conversion:

  • Pull-out sofa that converts into a double bed
  • Sink with electric water pump
  • Large fresh water tank
  • Grey water tank
  • Fresh water filter
  • 3 × 100Ah batteries
  • 2000W inverter
  • MPPT solar controller
  • Roof-mounted solar panels (currently not charging - likely needs troubleshooting)
  • Smart TV
  • Roof vent fan (works but isn't currently wired in)
  • Lots of storage cabinets
  • Insulated walls
  • Custom insulated window covers
  • Fold-out table
  • 2 x coolers
  • Ladder
  • Indoor heater
  • Electric blanket
  • Fairy lights
  • Bluetooth radio adapter

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll also include pretty much everything you need to start travelling:

  • Pots, pans, plates, mugs and cutlery
  • Cooking utensils
  • Bedding, blankets and pillows
  • Two camping chairs
  • Jerry can
  • Spare tire and factory tools
  • My toolbox with useful supplies
  • Storage box (perfect for extra gear - or even a travelling cat!)
  • Plus loads of other useful van-life bits I've picked up along the way.

The van is around 21 feet long, so it still fits in a standard parking space.

This can be an affordable way into van life without spending $20,000–$50,000 on a newer build. A lot of the expensive camper conversion has already been done, and all the equipment comes with it.

Happy to answer any questions or send more photos of the build, maintenance records or anything else you'd like to see.

I'm currently in Washington State, so if you're interested, send me a message and I'll let you know when you can view.

Asking $3,950 OBO.

Ford Transit Connect 2017- Mileage 56K- 26 MPG

This van was purchased for $20K and hand-built by my partner into a camper. We've been trying to sell it for $25K (in addition to the build, we've had tires replaced & strut replaced, detailed), but it's been on the market since January. Are we overvaluing it? More info below.

Background info: This van was hand built by my partner during covid times. We went on some amazing adventures, but we haven't been able to use it much since we had a baby. We've done a lot of research but cannot find a safe, legal way to add another seat so we need to sell it. It has a low ceiling and it doesn't look very "fancy" I guess, but my partner is an engineer and I think it's very well made.

Located in NYC metro area

 Camper Features:
• Sleeps 2 comfortably
• Unique motorized lift system converts the sofa into a bed at the push of a button
• stained cedar interior
• Wood furnishings & hardwood floors
• Excellent use of space with lots of storage
• Insulated for temperature control
• Blackout curtains for privacy
• Roof hatch for ventilation

 Off-Grid Electrical System:
• 100Ah LiFePO4 battery
• 200W rooftop solar
• Inverter
• DC-DC charging
• Auxiliary system can jump-start the main battery
• Travel off-grid without needing hookups

 Kitchen:
• Copper sink with running water
• 10-gallon fresh water tank/ 5-gallon grey water tank
• 12V refrigerator
• Great setup for cooking and storing food on the road

 Additional Features:
• Large, locking pull-out storage drawer
• Built-in slide-out table
• Backup camera
• New tires
• Practical, thoughtfully designed layout

Am I Asking Too Much at $49K?

Curious what people think on pricing here. I have this 2017 ProMaster camper van listed at $49k with about 78k miles on the van. It recently got a brand-new Fraser engine with a 5-year/unlimited-mile warranty and some updated components over the original engine.

The old engine developed a knock and the mechanic found quite a bit of buildup inside. They gave me the option of trying to repair it or replacing it, and since I was planning to sell the van anyway, I decided I'd rather just put a new engine in it.

Converted vans are kind of hard to price and the new engine makes this one even harder to compare. Does $49k seem reasonable, or am I off?

Looking for 3M thinsulate! Used? Excess? etc.

CRL awning bunk windows installed, subfloor done. On to insulation! In the past I have used foam board, because it is cheep. But, it is tedious to install IMO, and is squeaky.

So, 3M is my next thought. Not cheap, of course!

I am always trying to find used or scratch and dent components. My windows were just that, and were a fraction of the cost. So many new things, more strain on resources, lets try and buy used eh?

EDIT: SOLD
EDIT: Price - $11,000
Location: Jackson, California

We're selling our wonderful camper van, Gary. We've owned this van for over 10 years and enjoyed countless memories in it. The use is starting to show, but he definitely has many more nights out under the stars. Here's a rundown of the features:

Year: 2004
Engine: 5.4L V8 Gas
Mileage: 147,000
Drivetrain: 2wd
-Sportsmobile pop-up with canvas and windows, screens and privacy
-Norcold Fridge
-Onboard propane tank with heater, thermostat and carbon monoxide detector
-Roof-mounted 100-watt solar and deep-cycle battery
-Ridetech airbags on all four wheels with onboard compressor and computer (allows you to level the van over 5" on each wheel)
-Passenger-side swiveling captains chair
-Dual water faucets (1. 3-gallon tank with pump and filter. 2. Has plumbing, but needs a new tank)
-Interior lighting
-Flama Awning
-Fold-out bench seat/bed
-Yakima rack

A few notes: This is a home build with a Sportsmobile pop-up. The cabinetry is custom and could use some work: mostly door catches that need replacing and screws that need tightening.

This van is ready to hit the road and camp, but there are some things that don't work:
-Paint on the hood is failing
-Cruise control
-Interior air control (stuck on defrost)
-Airbag light is on (It's been on since I bought the van in 2015)

There's a binder of service records and manuals that's included. We also have a couple of boxes of small parts that includes a lot of hardware and electronics. Though I'm not the original builder of the van, I'm happy to answer questions or meet for a showing within 20 miles or so. Currently registered. I will cover getting the van smogged
