Off-grid single fuel camper – the van itself and the stove/heater run on diesel from the main tank. The rest of the van is powered by electricity generated by the solar array and van alternator.
Beautiful custom bamboo woodwork throughout is the nicest cabinetry you will find in a van. Separate sleeping and living areas, tons of storage, and the permanent bed make it incredibly comfortable.
I am the second owner; the original owner purchased new from Ram dealership in 2016 and completed the build. The van has 89K mi, with 48K on current engine, and averages 21-24 mpg. It was just serviced –including new battery, brake pads/rotors/ABS sensors, power steering pump, and a/c compressor hose — and comes with two sets of tires: Falken Wildpeaks and Nokian Hakkapeliittas.
There is no designated bathroom. The galley faucet is set up to double as an outdoor shower, and there is space to store a small cassette toilet if desired.
The engine was replaced due to seized glow plugs (hot tip: don’t try to remove rusted plugs). The cell booster is not powering on right now; I’m working on it, but upgrading is probably the better option anyway.
Other highlights:
SuperSpring SumoSprings in the rear and SuperSpring helpers in the front.
Driver and passenger front seats both swivel and have lowered seat bases.
TeleSteps telescopic ladder provides roof access.
Accessories include TAC grill guard, Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class III trailer hitch receiver, custom floor liner and Nalgene-sized cup holders in cab, Moonshade awning.
