  • Tour the inside and outside of this 2019 Ram Promaster 1500. Converted to be an off grid camper for a solo female to travel the country in. Beautiful DIY build.

    This is one of the cleanest layouts and builds I've ever seen and that's after watching a couple hundred van build videos as I'm preparing for my second build. Kudos to whoever the builder was.

    Very nice build. Simplistic. Streamlined but so comfortable. You can breathe. Isn't this why we dream of escaping in the first place? " Sweep away the clutter that complicates your life " Thoreau.

    Great vid. Suggest your towels in your garage be stored as cushions on your bed. Ditto any excess clothing etc. Just purchase or make cushion covers to suit. Safe travels.

    Really like your conversion. We just purchased a slightly used 2020 Promaster (w/2500 miles). We have a conversion by Wayfarer Vans (Colorado Springs) which is component-based, not custom like yours. This kept our price way down and the theme is simplicity and no-pretense. Like your style. Been Camino!

    Very nice. I would add some hanging space behind the driver's seat 4a few pretty dresses 👗 in case I want to go 2a nice restaurant. I also keep a collapsible washbasin for dishes along with an expandable collander/basket on top of one side of the sink for washing ftuits and veggies. With only one sink, it's important 2me 2 avoid cross contamination between bathroom and kitchen activities. Not everyone cares, but I do.
    Lovely van. Happy Travels.

    How did you paint the fridge the same color as the cabinets? Was it as easy as tinting appliance paint? Love the door light that open with the slider. There's so many things about the build.
    I plan to do a twin so the shower is inside and a closet above, drawers below.

    • @kellyjohnson9129
