Summary
This 2021 Ram Promaster 2500 was purchased new in December 2021, and the conversion was completed in April 2022.
With four previous Promaster conversions and five years of nomadic vanlife travel under our belts, this build combines enhancements from our tried-and-true design.
The van is built for full-time off-grid adventure travel with simplicity and functionality in mind. Bright, airy and wrapped with shiplap, the modern style is constructed with high quality materials, including ample storage and clever multi-use features that blend seamlessly into the unique custom design.
Every detail was carefully considered in preparation for living, working, and exploring off-grid while still enjoying the comforts and conveniences of home. A perfect solution for the weekend explorer, digital nomad, or anyone looking to live a free and adventurous lifestyle.
We decided to use this van for our own personal adventures before listing it for sale. From the Iceberg Festival in Newfoundland, Canada to desert camping in California, every detail of this conversion performed flawlessly for us. We are excited to pass along this van and the adventures it can bring to new owners.
Side Notes
ample indoor garage storage for outdoor equipment to fit inside vehicle & not be prone to theft
lower center of gravity and tightest turn radius in industry for comparable vans
the Promaster width allows for side to side sleeping on a standard full size mattress
straighter interior walls in the Promaster provides an airy, open feel
159” wheelbase is about 2 ft. longer than the 136”, yet fits in a standard parking spot
