- We finally made it! This is my Ram ProMaster 136” WB camper van that I spent about 6 months building out. If you figure out where my secret storage is located, you get 23 gold stars and a high five. Stokey the bear is stoked to get on the road.

Finally a surfer van!!! Dig the color and the set up! I might copy haha
haha thanks
Dude, you helped me so much to get my build started. Thanks for ALL the hours you put into documenting this. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
🙏🙏
Really nice build. Proves you don’t need a big van.
Thank you! I agree 100% haha
Your mom and DAD must be proud. Super nice craftsmanship !
Thanks!
Very nice! Clean lines. Minimalist. Little things like the custom cushions make it look so professional. Well done.
Thanks!
Nice build! Love the cabinets and the dinette/bed!
Thanks!
Wow! Such a clean design, and I absolutely love the minimalism!
thank you!
What a master piece, absolutely stunning! Love that wood around the stove, makes it look like a real apartment.
And again I have to say that I can't understand why this channel has only 10k subscribers. Something must be wrong with RUclips's algorithm!
Thanks so much
So fun to see the whole process from an empty van to a little vacation home!!
Thanks!
Beautiful! Love the cabinet color and the farm sink! And being a crazy dog mom, I LOVE that you were so thoughtful about integrating Winnie into your van build. And your mom is proud, despite you talking about toilets! Oh and Dometic owes you for all the shoutouts!😉
Thank you so much!
So good! You absolutely crushed it man!
🤙🤙🤙
thank you for sharing this video. I was looking at a 136 with dual sliding doors. Mainly will be for taking to Sano for surf day or road trips not for living full time. I really like your layout, especially the back bed area.
Thanks!
You can buy a lower seat base to compensate for the extra height added by the swivel mechanism, they are readily available.
Change curtain rod to bungee cord life changer!
That’s a good idea, thanks!
Great job! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
It's done!! Congrats! I've followed your build since last year and I'm about to start on mine. Your videos have been so helpful. You were really patient with your build and it shows, awesome job!
Thanks so much!
First off. BEAUTIFUL build. Second. I love your priorities in the fridge. Plenty of beer space 😂
hahaha thanks!
Well done. I’ll have to check out your vlogs of your construction. Thx.
Thanks so much
I like your style: low-key, very descriptive, no hyperbole, keep an interesting flow. Thanks. I love the 1500, this after driving cross-country and back with the 2500. I do think that in many cases, less is more.
Much appreciated! I agree, I like the 136 for our needs.
why is it when a van tour all shown .on youtube.. I have alway's say this is the best of best i've seen... well... this is the best of the best i've seen! I like the fact this one looks very comfortable
Lovely conversion. Your videos are helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, glad they have been helpful!
This is a hugely inspirational video Jason, great work and lovely result. I will be watching the entire series!
Thanks, great help, just thinking to get a pormaster!
Fantastic! What an inspiration and it is beautiful. Thanks a lot for sharing! 👍💪🤩
Thank you 🙏
Beautiful van! The quality and craftsmanship is awesome! I could drive off and live in your build very easily. Maybe some day! Blessings to you and yours.
thanks so much
Hey Jason! I've watched your whole build and have been continually impressed by the thoughtfulness and quality of your work. Great build! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks so much!
WOW!!!! Beautiful! 💛💚🧡💜
Thanks so much!
Gorgeous
Thanks!
That is sick!
🙏
Well done brother! I enjoy your colorways. The green is so nice. And the tile work is awesome. Way to go!
Thanks man 🤙
My favorite van!!
Ditto
I have watched your entire build and it looks beautiful. Your video helped us soooo much install our solar panels on the canopy of our truck. We had to keep going back and watching it over and over but it all worked great. We are now getting a new van and starting a full build. Will be watching all your stuff over and over. haha. Thanks you for documenting everything so well and naming the vendors, very helpful.
thanks!
Excellent job!! Thanks for all the very informative videos!!
thank you!
Jason, I’ve been following along and the end result is awesome. Nice attention to detail. Enjoy the ride.
thanks!
Great job on the cabinets and. finishes.
It looks beautiful, everything you need nothing you don’t 👏
Thanks so much
Awesome build!!
Thank you!
That is a beautiful build, very pretty!! Great craftsmanship😉. Enjoy your travels!
Thanks so much!
Love to see it finally finished! We are part way through our build and are using your videos extensively. Great work!
Thanks!
It looks very clean. Especially the difficult areas around the doors and over the driving seats are much nicer than so often. And a great idea to have these beam covers and use it for the electrics. 👍
Thanks!
I watched your van build videos and am happy to see how it all turned out! Congratulations!
thanks so much
What a lovely van. I hope you enjoy it for many years.
Thanks 🤙
Amazing work!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I like the solution of the raised floor in-between the benches, I haven't seen that done before. And it was very smart to have a door to the water tanks from the entrance, for easy access. I was thinking of putting my fridge there for better ventilation.
Thanks 👍
Really good videos on your channel. Well thought out and executed!
Much appreciated!
Awesome!!
Thank you! Cheers!
It turned out fantastic Jason! Your hard work really paid off!
Thanks so much!
Absolutely love this build ❤
Thanks!
That's a great layout. Looks awesome!! Enjoy your travels. :)
Thanks so much!
Nice set up Jason, thanks for sharing!!!
You bet
Amazing Amazing Amazing love the layout.
Thanks!
Your van looks Dope. Great and Awesome job.

🤙🤙🤙
Very sweet ride.....great job!!
thank you!
Beautiful!
thanks
Love the lay out
Thanks, me too!
Wonderful job, and loving pup what more could you want.
Thanks!
Was excited to see the final product! It looks amazing. The dog bowl storage drawer is great.
Thanks so much!
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath throughout his build, I’ve always appreciated his attention to detail. He didn’t cut corners. I think that really takes a van to the next level.
You have done a phenomenal job!! My fiancé and I also have a 1500 Pro Master that we are planning to work on soon. We have the basics now but plan to add more. Your build has been an incredible model of how to do it right!
Thanks so much
Beautiful van. Thanks for sharing.
🙏🙏
Nice van. Going to go back and look at your build videos. We've just started ours so it's quite exciting.
thank you, good luck!
Parece un trabajo profesional, bueno creo que no se encuentra algo así en el mercado, es increíble. Los detalles, los materiales y hasta la combinación de colores, no he visto nada tan bueno. Gracias por documentarlo en tus videos, ha sido muy bueno seguirlos.
Gracias!
Amazing build absolutely beautiful !!
Thank you so much!
Awesome build! Great 👍 job!
Thanks 🙏
Thanks much for detailed product list and links. First I’ve heard of recirculating the hot water, great idea, how did u hook up the return of the hot water recirculating loop to the tankless heater? Also I subbed in appreciation. Thanks again, great job.
Well done 👏✔👍👌
Thanks ✌️
Beautiful van!
Thanks!
Great finished conversion. I watch your Van build from the beginning. I have a question about your LED puck light dimmer switch. Can you post the link to it?
I'm also love to see your electrical build video.
Came out killer
Thank you!
@@JasonKlunk Hey man, I reached out to SK upholstery but forgot to find out if you purchased the bed and cut it, then had the pieces upholstered. Thanks!
Awesome build. Thanks for posting your process. You've really helped me out. How thick are your cushions? Thx
Very nice and neat ☮️
🤙
Great vid, Jason. Can I ask what the white paint color is that you used for the interior?
Amazing home
🙏
Hey Jason, I am new to your channel. Great job!! The reward is in the beauty of being able to live in such a beautiful van. I don't know if you have mentioned or if you would mind saying how much it cost all in without factoring in your time?
very nice build !! I've used extruded aluminium in my build very pleased with it so far, although not quite up to this standard.
well played 👏👏👏👏👏👏
🙏
Thanks for all your van videos, I think I have watched them all a few times! How did you route the wires for the light under the sliding door back into the van?
I ran the wire down the beam on passenger side by the sliding door, there is an opening underneath the van that you can fish a wire through.
Nice van! ✌️
Thanks!
Love the videos! Been very helpful as I do my own build. How’d you make the dinette table? Is that just extra butcher block countertop at 1.5” thick?
Thanks. I ended up custom ordering something from here: hardwood-lumber.com/
Does the excel heater come with two warm water water outlets connections so you can have warm water for the sink tap and also an external shower? This is what we want 👍🏽
Great video and beautiful build!! Looking for FIRM cushions for our bed/dinette and I see that you don't sink down into yours. Would you mind sharing where you got them? Much appreciated!
Thanks. I had them custom made by a company in San Diego.
Hey Jason, beautiful job! thanks for sharing. Question regarding SK Upholstery, did you supply the foam for the cushions or did Scott? Thank you!
Thanks, Scott did.
Very nice build, you did amazing looking work. Not the layout for my tastes, but it looks vantastic :)
Thank you! 🙏
Nicely done! Looks great. How are you enjoying those push to open drawer slides? Love the idea, wasn't sure how it would hold up in a van environment.
Thanks, they have worked out pretty well for us.
Nice van.
🙏
Jason I’m a big fan of yours “your built is so awesome thanks for all your time I always watch your videos very good details I’m building my van as of now do have any videos on installing your recess lights with your electrical wires ? not sure what size is your recessed lights are they LED ? But i do like your lighting system
Awesome! Thank you! No electrical video yet, but possibly soon. They are LED puck lights and they are linked in the description.
Right on
Nice job! Everything looks very well thought out, but my favorite parts are the “beams” on the countertops. Do they provide your secret hiding place to? God Bless and Stay Safe.
thank you. haha, nope but good guess!
Love the van and great job building it! Where did you get those bench cushions?
Thanks. We got the cushions made by SK Upholstery in San Diego.
Have the drawers been staying closed? I saw your other video and you choose to use the the Center Line push to open bracket? We are about to start that part of the build and are looking at all the options. Thanks!
I’ve got one problem drawer but it’s because I installed it a little off - I just need to spend a few hours redoing it. Other than that one, I’ve been happy with my drawers.
So great to see the fully finished van, stellar build!! We’ve been following your videos while building out our van and they’ve been tremendously helpful. You mentioned getting your fabric from UFO, would you share the name of the fabric because that’s what I’d like to use as well. Thanks!!
Thank you. We found the fabric on one of those remnant rolls, so so you might not have much luck finding the exact stuff I used. I found a picture of the tag that was on ours, all it says is Pattern: Fentley. Color: Slate
@@JasonKlunk thanks!! Your build looks so awesome and thanks again for all the videos as they’ve helped us a lot! We’ll be checking out SK Upholstery and will let them know you sent us 😁
Very Nice.. and clean.
Suggestion.. hang your garbage pail on the door.
Question ❓❓ Where did you purchase the packing bags?
Thanks. I ordered off of Amazon, they are linked in the description (packing cubes)
Nice touch with the light under the van. May I ask what particular product you went with?
Thanks. I repurposed one of the LED bars that came with the van, it was originally screwed into the ceiling.
Do you have more info about your recirculating hot water in one of the vids? I thought I’ve watched all of them and don’t recall this feature in any of them. I might have missed one.
I’d like more info on this too.
Can I ask how you attached those beams you made to cover up the ugly beams? I love the way yours looks and would like to do something similar!
pocket screws
Nice! How much did it cost you to build it out?
You have inspired me to do this on my own. Quick question: You mention propane locker. Is this something you made or purchased? can you drop a line for where you purchased?
Awesome. I built the propane locker myself, it's basically a top loading box that is sealed up with a sealant and a gasket. Propane is heavy, so if you have a leak it'll sit low - so I have a hole through the bottom of the box/van where it vents out in case of a leak. There is some good information here: faroutride.com/propane-system/
I’m thinking about the same water heater - do you have to open a cabinet door when you use the water heater? Is there a lot of heat inside the cabinet when it’s in use?
The only time I feel like I need to open it is if I’m using the shower outside for a long period of time, in which case I already have the door open.
@@JasonKlunk Yeah; that’s the exact water heater I’m considering. Your return line system - great idea! You’re using an electric valve of some sort? Do you remember what you used?
Hey Jason, have you been happy with the way your DCC50s charges your battery? My DCC50s seems to stay in "boost charge" mode at 14.4v as long as the battery is full, which is not good for lithium. Also it never seems to switch from "green" full battery to "orange" light. Have you noticed any of this or tried to fix this?
I have been very happy with all of my electrical components. I haven't had any issues yet
nice & clean design ❤️but inside washroom is reqd i guess 👍
thanks
this van looks wider than a sprinter, i’m wondering they are not more popular
great question, a lot cheaper too.
Does the oven work well? Would I be able to bake bread and roast vegetables etc?
Yes, the oven is great!
