If you can’t make Sunday, message me to arrange another viewing.
Meet Beetle — a professionally converted 2020 RAM ProMaster 2500 High Roof 159″ camper van built for comfortable travel, extended road trips, winter camping and working from the road.
The original conversion was professionally designed and built by Dave & Matt Vans, and I’ve subsequently upgraded and maintained the van for real-world travel.
The layout’s standout feature is the 68″ × 80″ north-south sleeping bed, with approximately 20″ of additional convertible counter/desk space. It gives you a genuinely comfortable sleeping area while retaining a useful workspace during the day.
Approximately $65,000 has been invested in the vehicle, professional conversion and subsequent upgrades (not including the cost of the vehicle).

68″ × 80″ BED + CONVERTIBLE WORKSPACEOne of Beetle’s best features
The sleeping area is a 68″ × 80″ north-south bed.
The layout also provides approximately 20″ of additional convertible counter/desk space beyond the sleeping area.
That means the van isn’t simply organized around a bed that takes up the entire living area.
You get:
- 68″ × 80″ sleeping area
- Full-length north-south sleeping orientation
- Approximately 20″ additional convertible workspace
- Large desk/counter surface
- Space for a monitor and laptop
- Flexible living/work configuration
It’s a particularly practical setup for someone who wants to travel and work from the van.
ESPAR AIRTRONIC B4L GASOLINE HEATERReal four-season capability
The van includes an Espar Airtronic B4L gasoline cabin heater, professionally incorporated into the original conversion.

This is a major advantage for cold-weather travel.
Rather than relying on the vehicle engine for heat, the dedicated Espar system provides forced-air cabin heating while camping.
The B4L is a gasoline-fueled air heater designed for vehicle and cabin applications, making it particularly useful for:
- Winter camping
- Ski trips
- Mountain travel
- Cold mornings
- Shoulder-season adventures
- Overnight heating for 13+ hours
No need to idle the engine simply to stay warm.
This is one of the features that makes Beetle substantially more capable for winter travel than a basic summer-only camper.
SUBSTANTIAL OFF-GRID ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The professional electrical system was upgraded with a large lithium battery bank, inverter and solar.
~400Ah of Renogy lithium batteries • 3,000W inverter • 320W solar
The builder documentation includes:
- 400Ah of Renogy lithium batteries
- Additional battery capacity subsequently added
- 3,000W inverter
- 320W total Renogy solar
- Solar charge controller
- Bluetooth monitoring system
- 110V outlets
- USB charging
The system is designed to support extended travel and a practical remote-work setup without requiring constant campground hookups.

WOLFBOX G900 PRO DIGITAL REARVIEW + DASH CAMERA
The van has a WOLFBOX G900 Pro installed, combining a large digital rearview mirror with front and rear camera coverage.
The G900 Pro provides:
- 12″ touchscreen rearview display
- 4K front camera
- 2.5K rear camera
- Wide-angle rear visibility
- Front/rear recording
- GPS
- Parking monitoring
- Digital rearview functionality
For a long 159″ camper van, the digital rearview camera is particularly useful when the rear interior is loaded with gear and a conventional mirror’s view is obstructed.
It also provides an integrated record of your drives and significantly improves rear visibility compared with relying solely on the standard mirror.
INDOOR + OUTDOOR SHOWER
Beetle includes flexible shower capability for extended travel:
- Collapsible indoor shower system
- Outdoor shower capability
- Water storage
- Two 7-gallon water jugs
- Nature’s Head composting toilet
The setup is especially useful after swimming, hiking, beach days, camping or outdoor adventures.
CUSTOM KITCHEN
The professional build includes a custom kitchenette with:
Advertisement
- Custom cabinetry
- Butcher-block countertop
- Refrigerator
- Stainless sink
- Faucet
- Storage
- Cooking/work surface
The kitchen is compact but designed for actual road use rather than simply being a decorative camper feature.
VENTILATION + WINDOWS
The van has substantial ventilation and natural light:
- Two MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe ventilation fans
- Remote controls
- Sliding windows on driver and passenger sides
- Insulated flooring
- Insulated walls and ceiling with wool
- Insulated window covers
Having two powered ventilation fans is particularly useful for airflow while sleeping and cooking.
LIVING SPACE
The original professional build includes:
- Dinette seating – Lagun Tables
- Swivel driver and passenger seats
- Custom cabinetry
- Overhead kitchen cabinet
- Custom door panels
- Finished walls and ceiling
- Custom flooring
- Interior lighting
- Storage throughout
The swivel seats also allow the cab to become part of the living space when parked.

BUILT FOR ACTUAL TRAVEL
Beetle was built around a simple idea:
comfortable sleeping + usable workspace + serious electrical capacity + four-season capability.
It’s equally suited to:
- Long road trips
- Weekend camping
- Winter/ski trips
- National parks
- Beach and swimming trips
- Hiking
- Remote work
- Extended travel
The Espar heater, lithium/solar system, ventilation, shower and comfortable 68″ × 80″ bed make it much more than a basic weekend camper.

$68,300 OBO
Private-party sale — San Francisco
I’ve loved owning Beetle and have invested substantially in making it comfortable and practical, but I’m using it less than I originally expected as we have a larger family with more than 2 people so this van is not as practical now.
I’d rather see it go to someone who will actually take it on the road and enjoy it.
I’m happy to answer questions and provide additional photographs, specifications and documentation to serious buyers.
