Default Loaded Off-grid Overland Ram Promaster for sale

This van is amazing. It was designed for a couple to live and travel full time. There are no compromises.

We chose the gas Promaster so it would be capable of world travel (there is no ULSD and DEF is difficult to source south of Mexico).

Selling because I am building a large expedition truck. I'll do another van after the truck.

Let me know if you have questions. Forward to anyone who may be in the market. Van is located in San Diego, California.

Wow, that is a great home on wheels you put together. The popularity of the B's, and looking at yours, and all it has to offer....I'd have to seriously think about hanging on to it. Look at the latest info Marco has published about the huge jump in B sales - and yours is top notch. Ron

Thanks, Ron! I will build another van after we build the expedition truck. The next van we do will be very similar as there is nothing I wish I did differently on this one. I may not do painted cabinetry as it is extremely labor intensive.

If you could mod to fit two car seats it would be a win.

I would say it is a winner as is. Too bad I already have my van.

The only suggestion I would make is to put the water equipment in a separate compartment away from the electricals.

This turned out so great, I'd be hard pressed to part with it. You could easily turn such conversions into a business.

I think he is doing it as a business.
From my casual count, this must be the 7th conversion he did?
Very high-quality workmanship.

Nice and clean, congratulation. What is the van length? I am not familiar with Promaster.

Thanks for the compliment! No, I don't build these as a business. Next challenge is a large expedition truck. We leave for Europe on the 15th and will buy an ex-fire truck to import. Should be fun.

Thanks! This is the 159" standard length, which is 20ft. long. It is the same length as a Sprinter 144" yet has the interior volume of the 170" Sprinter.

Wow. You're the kind of person I need living closer to us so I can beg a custom rig for us, the dogs, the dogs' crates, my mobility scooter and car freezers!

Nice build Jostalli. I'm curious as to how well the Autoclima air conditioning works. Does it put out much air?

Thanks,
Jon (jme3505)
