2018 Ram ProMaster2500

I have been hemming and hawing for a few months about whether to sell this custom camper van, largely because there’ll never be another one like it. Where most camper vans are weekend warriors, sacrificing comfort for convenience and cost, this is a powerhouse of tech and luxury, and it brings in about $15,000 per year in bookings on two different sites, where you can see the high ratings for yourself. Pertinent things to know: — It’s a 2018 Ram Promaster 2500, which is a FWD, gas-powered vehicle. The vin is 3c6TRVDG1JE136256, with 146,379 miles as of Feb. 2, 2025. I’d say it gets about 15 miles to the gallon, depending on how you drive. It’s about 11 feet tall with the rooftop tent on top and 18 feet long. It’s a rebuilt title that I bought from the company that restored it, in 2020. There was some front end damage on one side of the van during the wreck, which they showed me pictures of, and they also showed me proof that the airbags didn’t deploy, as evidence of it not being that bad of a crash. I have all of its service records; most recent repairs were to replace an oil pump and last year a coolant pump. It’s probably close to ready for new brakes, but was serviced in January and they said there was about 4mm left on them, so I decided to keep it as is. — It was custom built by one of the original famous vanlife couples, Court and Nate, who can be found at @courtandnate on Instagram. You can see every step of their build if you navigate to their saved stories and look for “Van Build 5,” which is pretty cool. They did an incredible job, as you can see. — Right now it’s listed on GoCamp and RvShare and as mentioned it tends to do about $15,000 in bookings each year across both platforms. Which means the van would pay for itself in about six years. I have found it really fun to work with renters and share the van with them. Sometimes it is definitely a hassle. But worth the supplemental income, for me. Of course if you buy it and want to remove those listings that happens instantaneously. I will link to a youtube video if I can that has a walkthrough I did for customers. There’s also a van manual I can share upon request, and I’ll plan on updating it for the next owner, so you can learn all of the systems. — The tech in this van is just insane. When I first built it I put in 3 100ah batteries from BattleBorn, then upgraded it to 4 100ah batteries from Lion Energy, and then last fall I took it to Lion’s headquarters in Utah and they installed two UT 3500 batteries in it. Each of them is nearly three times the power of their predecessor, so in the end you’re sitting at 560ah hours, above the 315ah it started with. Practically, what that means is the van can be off grid, using only the 300w solar system on the roof to stay charged up, for a week or more at a time if you’re careful about using the AC outlets (I don’t mean air conditioning.) Even if you’re an energy hog like me (toaster ovens, induction heater, etc.) a full charge will keep you humming for three or four days minimum. — The van charges via the alternator (a Victron system) or solar or by shore power, with a 30 amp connection or an adapter that lets you plug it into any power outlet. — The heating system is amazing. It’s radiant (floor) heating and also forced air, and both are run with fuel from the (regular, not diesel) gas tank, so there’s no propane on board, anywhere. It’s hard to notice any hit on the gas tank from running the heater, even at full blast. The heater is Eberspaecher but it runs on a Rixens system, which cost about $10k to put in, not counting labor. That company is based in Sandy, OR, and they’re great to work with for any troubleshooting and questions. — There’s an iKamper SkyCamp Mini 2.0 rooftop tent on the van that retails for $3,500 and was added in 2023. I’m figuring it for about $2,000, as it has barely been used, and that is built into the price of the van. If you don’t want it, I’ll knock $2,000 off of the price of the van. It requires two included ladders (one in the tent, one that comes with the van) to access it. — The awning is a Thule, and it is a little fussy to use, but works great. I also have an extra screen thing for it, to add to its shadiness. — The van has a shower! A piping hot one, if you remember to turn the hot water heater on before . You run it from the back of the unit and shower outside. — The van converts from a bed setup to a couch. The bed is about 5 feet wide and is exactly 6 feet long. The cushions were custom built specifically to fit the van, and those covers made by hand. — The walls are from local Oregon cedar, the floors are the highest quality vinyl floors you can buy. — There’s a 30-gallon fresh water tank and five-gallon gray water tank that you can use to store waste water or let it drain out where you’re camping. — There is a high-end Pioneer stereo system, subwoofer and CarPlay unit in the front of the van. The sound is fantastic. — The fridge/freeze
