This van has had two build variations. The initial build was done in 2017 where I lived in it full-time for a year while I worked and recreated in Colorado. After taking seasonal employment in Washington State I continued to use it for trips and living between work seasons. For the final build layout I incorporated design changes that greatly improved its livability for both the full-time and part-time user. The design of this van has been built for both active and varied recreational uses as well as the need to be well suited for an urban environment. The van boasts large amounts of storage for recreational gear as well as items needed for day-to-day living. Storage has been designed to be modular and thus adaptable to your specific needs. Windows in the living area were not added to the build to preserve privacy and with the blackout curtains no light reaches or escapes the interior. To suite future modifications, the build preserved the ability to install windows on all doors as well as a window behind the kitchenette. Aluminum extrusion was used for all framing providing a clean modern look while also promoting a flexible construction that holds up well to the dynamics of a vehicle in motion. All modified walls have been been fully insulated with 1-2 inches of EPS foam board and gaps filled with foam. Van Details: Make/Model: 2017 RAM Promaster 1500 Wheel Base: 136” Roof: High Roof Mileage: 72,000 Has received all scheduled maintenance No body damage This van has lived the majority of its life in Colorado and also Washington State and has seen ZERO northeast winters. So no corrosion anywhere on the body or underside due to road salt. Solar System: Solar Panel: Renogy Mono-Crystalline, 24-volt/300-watt Charge Controller: Victron Energy 75/15 MPPT Battery: Renogy AGM 200AH Deep Cycle Electrical System: 12-Volt D/C Power Bus currently wired for: Two Zone Dimmable LED ceiling lights Running water at the kitchenette MaxAir ceiling vent fan Power outlet for portable 12-Volt refrigerator (Dometic / ARB type), not included. Additional six circuits available for later upgrades. Ampeak 1000-Watt A/C inverter with remote switch. Eight total USB plugs. Two at the front of the living space, four in the middle between both sides, and two from the rear of the van directly from the inverter. Four A/C 110-Volt @ 1000-Watts standard three prong wall outlets. Two in the middle of the living space on either side and two at the rear of the van directly from the inverter. Equipped with easy access on/off switch. Amenities: Bed: 72” x 54” platform bed with foam mattress pad included. Kitchenette: Ruvati Stainless Sink with Shurflo Faucet. Sink comes with an integrated bottom grate, drain debris catch, drain cap, colander, and brand new cutting board. 22” x 48” oak countertop area. Because I wanted to save free counter space, I opted to use a portable butane cooktop that regulates heat very well. Cooktop can be included if you want it. Four self locking drawers. All drawers are 22” x 22” and 3”, 5”, 7”, and 10” deep. Plenty of room for cooking supplies, pantry items, and hygiene supplies. Seven gallon fresh water tank that easily allows exchange with additional stored tanks for additional fresh water capacity. Seven gallon grey water tank that is easily removed for draining. Integrated spice rack that can also hold extra sponges, dish soap, cooking oils, or other small cooking essentials. Storage: (2) very large dresser drawers below bed, shoe storage shelves with mud pan, half and full van length overhead ribbon cabinets with modular storage, massive rear access gear drawers, and under bed open “garage.” Blackout curtain and curtain rod. Q/A: We have had several questions that people have been asking and I wanted to talk about them here. Q: Is there a heater? A: No. We have been using a small space heater when needed. A gas parking heater can easily be installed. If you want one that is something I could help you with. I"d ask you to reach out to me to discuss further. Q: Toilet. No. I realized that while I was using the van both full time and for weekending I always had access to facilities where the van would go. The main life style modification this required was to make sure I used them. However, I do understand that your situation may be different than mine. There are options for potable toilets (including composting toilets) that would fit well in this van in the case that is your preference. Q: Was this a professional build? A: I built this van myself and I do not make a living converting vans. I do have a background as a professional woodworker. Early into building this van, I appreciated that the elements that make a quality van build are indeed different than conventional woodworking or home building. I sought the advice of professional van builders and fabricators who provided valuable guidance. In the end I am pleased to have a clean modern look that is also highly durable and will last. Q: Is the van insulated? Yes. The ceiling and finished walls have been insulated. To preserve vertical space (I"m 6"3") the floor was not. I tend to wear socks or slippers anyway and haven"t felt any complaints. I used 1" Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam board, expanding foam, and reflectix. Q: How long does the water last? I"ve gone 3-days with washing dishes and with drinking water on one 7.5-gallon container. Your personal use will vary, but this setup does allow easy exchange with additional jugs stored in the garage space as needed.
