Classic 148 EL: Our Most Affordable Extended Transit Camper
The modular Classic layout on the extended body: a Bi-Slide bed, removable components, seating up to 9 and room to upgrade anytime. Starting at $127,995, van included.
The Ford Transit 148 EL (extended length) shares the regular Transit's 148" wheelbase but carries a longer body behind the rear axle. In a Titan camper, that extra length is room inside the van: the Classic 148 EL seats up to 9 where the Classic 148 seats up to 7, and both EL layouts carry the same beds, galleys and systems as their regular-length siblings with the longer body's extra floor around them. Titan builds two Transit EL camper layouts in Boulder, Colorado: the Classic 148 EL and the Metis 148 EL, on the Transit 148 EL high roof, which is included in the price.

Ford Transit 148 vs. 148 EL
Same wheelbase, longer body. The EL turns like a regular-length 148 because the wheels sit in the same places; the difference is the overhang behind the rear axle, which Ford's specification sheet states for each body. In our lineup that length buys seating and storage, and the EL layouts carry the same beds, power systems and water systems as their 148 siblings.

Questions
Ford Transit 148 EL FAQ
What does EL mean on a Ford Transit?
Extended length. A Transit 148 EL rides on the same 148-inch wheelbase as the regular Transit 148 but carries a longer body behind the rear axle, which is where the extra interior room comes from.
How much longer is the Transit 148 EL?
Ford publishes the exact overall and cargo-floor lengths for each Transit body on its specification sheet, and the van itself sets them, so we do not restate a figure here. In a Titan build the extra length shows up as room: the Classic 148 EL seats up to 9 where the Classic 148 seats up to 7, with the same Bi-Slide bed.
Will a Transit 148 EL camper fit in a parking space?
Expect the extended body to overhang a standard parking space, and plan for it at tight campsites and in parking structures. Because the wheelbase is the same 148 inches, the EL turns like a regular-length Transit 148; what changes is the overhang behind the rear wheels, not the turning circle.
Can a Transit EL camper have a bathroom?
A toilet, yes: the Metis 148 EL includes a 5-gallon cassette toilet, and the Classic 148 EL offers a cassette toilet as an option ($395). Every Transit build has a rear utility spray-down shower for outdoor showers and rinsing gear. An indoor shower is the Ultra's feature, and we build the Ultra on the Mercedes Sprinter 144 and 170, not on the Transit.
