AWESOME Ram Promaster Van Conversion LIFT KIT 🚌 Winnebago Travato Gets 3 Inch Camper VAN LIFT!

In today's full time RV living, van life travel vlog, I show you my awesome Ram Promaster Van Conversion Lift Kit. My Winnebago Travato gets a 3 inch camper van lift by a company called Off Highway Vans.
When you are living in a van and you want to go places deep in the National Forests, you really run the risk of damaging the bottom of your van. That's just a fact of van life. I've only been living in a van for 4 months and I've already done some pretty major damage to the bottom of my van. I didn't want to spend my vanlife worrying about that kind of stuff. Or not being able to take my Winnebago Travato to more of the cool Rv living and van life spots out there. So when I found out about Off Highway Vans Promaster lift - I was all in on this van lift kit!
The good thing about the Winnebago Travato National Parks edition it's an off grid beast! The only thing it was lacking was the ground clearance to go more places and get an even better off grid van life experience. A van lift kit was a no brainer for my van conversion to get off road and enjoy more off grid living in my Winnebago Travato.
Whether you're into van life, rv living, the rv lifestyle being able to get more places with your tiny house on wheels is key to really enjoying living in a van and van life in general
I got the van lifted over a week ago and have been nothing but impressed with the Off Highway Van Promaster lift. It's really made my tiny home on wheels more off grid living capable. I am definitely glad I made this choice.

[@BecomingBev]

It’s so good that you’ll be able to get to more places without damaging your van. I liked the shot as you were driving over too. All my best to you.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah...I am super excited about it! Thanks for watching and commenting, Bev.

[@AndreasHiker]

I drove all across the west in a high clearance 4WD vehicle to dispersed campsites and trailheads. The times I actually needed to shift into 4WD were few but high clearance was invaluable. I would probably add some skid plates and bigger tires as well.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah agreed..I love the clearance...I have some Maxx Traxx if I get stuck (which hopefully doesn't happen often). Yeah...bigger tires and skid plates coming.

[@marge1538]

If it were me I would have lifted it too especially if it meant being able to explore more areas. Kudos to you. Looks good.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah..exactly...the whole reason I did this was to get to more places. Thanks or watching & commenting, Darlene.

[@estevangarcia9499]

What a great idea! we just purchased a 2022 Travato with very minimal ground clearance mostly due to the generator. It needs a lift kit desperately.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, it took some of the worry away.

[@larnole]

Without a doubt this was a worthwhile expenditure on your part, Kevin. With a rig like yours and the circumstances of your life, why wouldn't you want to open up every possibility to access those harder-to-get-to places. It being miserably hot and looking like a hurricane will visit Tallahassee in the next week, I am looking forward to living your escape to West Yellowstone and the Park vicariously.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah it was money well spent

[@zena1976]

Watching from California. Your decision to lift the van was great!! The forest campsites & BLM spots are on some tough roads and having the extra clearance will give you more opportunities to camp at beautiful places. All extra goodies on RV's are expensive but it's your home, the cost was definitely worth it..now for some awesome tires to support your lift. Enjoy your new freedom on the roads less traveled 😊

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Good point...it is my home! And I love the additional freedom it added! :)

[@toycarcollector]

Love the lift, very well worth it. But you will need new tires and wheels too. So it will be more like 5k all in. If you are going to do a wheel tire change I suggest placing ads in cities within a few hundred miles of your travels so you can purchase the new ones and quickly sell the old ones. Second option buy a hitch rack and store the old ones till you sell. Third option find a dealer who will trade in the old ones. Best wishes. Oh or stop by Portland Oregon and I will buy them!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

I've got the Revel wheels...so I'll stick with those and just go up one size on the KO2s when my current KO2s need replaced. I might be in the PNW soon! :)

[@toycarcollector]

Thats right just need larger tires. Ive seen that done on a Touareg video. Another inch or two? If you need anything when up this way just holla. David at my YT name

Enjoying your channel which I have just discovered. Spent 4 years fulltiming in a class C around UK, France, Belgium, Portugal and Spain. Had a few brushes nature causing damage and thats when you find out how problematic it is to get your ‘home’ repaired cause you live in it… Some people comment on how do you cope driving a right hand drive vehicle on the wrong side of the road ~ well you do adjust your style of driving and positioning at junctions, damage always occurred off the tarmac so I think your investment in the lift kit will give peace of mind when finding those unique camp spots.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah...it's definitely given me peace of mind. Thanks for watching and commenting, Robert.

[@DANIELMILNOR505]

Who cares about haters. Functional and looks good and you actually use your van. Less than 3k for a lift is good. I’ve got a 2019 Promaster and would do the same if I felt the need. Second, the turnaround was FAST. I will have to reach out to those guys as I’m finding it difficult to find anyone to do mods at the moment. Demand is at all time high.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, demand is pretty high. Let me know if you go for a lift. I like hearing about other's experiences with it. Mines a 2019 Promaster by the way.

I'd also like a bull bar on the front as I spend a lot of time in deer country and have pasted at least one deer in every vehicle I've had. Oh, one question on life.

Just a warning Chief, this could be the start of an addictive trend. haha. First a lift then larger meaty tires, replace running boards with rock sliders add a 4x4 kit and so on. Maybe Winnebago will add a lift kit to future models. Your experience proofs it is a very worthwhile addition

Haha....yeah...Im already looking at a winch! Im glad I didn't go with the Revel...because those things have so many customization options. The Promaster is more limited on the aftermarket stuff.

It pays for itself if you do not badly damage your truck on bumpy roads. I am glad you are truthful about what you do. RV work can be very expensive and that is the reality and why people should have a repair fund before they hit the road. I learned that from RTR Bob ! Good video !

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Agreed completely and why Im honest. Heck the biggest reason I got this lift was because I did about $500 in damage to the bottom of the rig already! Thanks for watching and commenting, Catherine.

[@Van_Liberty]

Make sure to add to your overall height for bridge clearance, if that has not already been mentioned. Did the front lift affect geometry or did this kit space the whole engine carrier? Nice look!

[@Van_Liberty]

In other words, was the front lift only a body lift, which would not affect suspension geometry?

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, definitely. Im at about 9'10 with my weeboost. Still shorter than most of the Sprinters running around! :) It fit - didn't impact geometry.

Took our new Thor Tellaro on a forest road for the first time this weekend. 99% of the 21 mile road was not a problem except for one shallow creek crossing that we crossed very slow. The support bracket supporting our black water tank just nicked road on the way into the dip and was knocked loose . I managed to wire the bracket back in place and continue on, but as soon as I got home, started looking into lift kits. This looks like the right kit for our new rig. Thanks!

Hey Kevin, great vid! We have approx. 4K mi.’s on our OHV lift and continue to be impressed. We added 245 tires after the first 2500 mi.’s and enjoy the additional 1/2” or so of ground clearance.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

That's awesome! I plan on adding the 245s as well. How much work did you have to do to keep them from rubbing your fenders?

[@Vodospecialist]

Hey Kevin, I’ve copied this from our post on TOAW group face book, so it may look familiar 😎. We had to modify both the front mud flaps & the drivers side rear plastic wheel fascia. On the front mud flaps, we had to remove most of the metal bracket, on the tire side because it was rubbing when turning. Not to difficult, removed flaps, cut off bar with a wheel, painted, & reinstalled. Less than 2 hrs. The drivers side fascia was moved forward with some “persuasion.” 😬 I did not want to cut any metal from the body. A number of the group members, with the OHV lift kit, have removed the mud flaps, I chose to try and save them. Mine worked out great. I’ve got approx 1500 mi., quite a bit of rough dirt roads, without issues.

Kenneth, I’m down a mile or two but not sure if it is the tires/lifts or wind and road conditions. I’ve been averaging around 15 mph after lift & larger tires. One of the reasons we went with 245 Michelin Cross Climate Agilis tires is that the are supposed to weigh the same as the Nexten 225 stock tires.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

No worries!

[@enjoylife7030]

I have lifted my vehicles in the past and its definitely just something that you do because you want to. The rear of your vehicle will probably have no ill effects from this lift whatsoever. Since it is a FWD vehicle I am sure you have cv shafts that connect the transmission to the wheels. The lift in most cases will slightly alter the angles that these joints operate at and will also change the angles of your front suspension components slightly. It was the right choice for you I am sure. Just be prepared to pay attention to your front end components as they may wear differently. CV joints, wheel bearings, bushings, and steering components are usually the most effected.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Good to know...thanks for the insight. And thanks for watching.

Packie Joe in da Bronx here. Low clearance has been my main concern in deciding what rig to get. I think getting your rig lifted was a great investment. Cheers and safe travels

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Nice! I lived in Hell's Kitchen for a bit..made it over to the. Bronx a few times. Yeah, the low clearance, especially, with the battery box underneath was definitely an issue. Thanks for watching and commenting, Packie Joe!

Great job. From Vancouver, British Columbia.

When I lived in Seattle, I used to go up to Vancouver all the time...love that city. Thanks for watching and commenting, Howard.

[@brucewilkinson8599]

Nice. Adding the lift makes a lot of sense.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah..it's already paying off. Thanks for watching and commenting, Bruce.

[@Davidnprogress2]

Seems like the price is well worth it to have the reward to go more places. Nice job on this and your other videos

[@30AndAWakeUp]

It really is!

[@gerbenhermes1023]

Very nice lift Kevin, We drove that area two years ago. Greetings from The Netherlands

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Very cool...I need to get back to the Netherlands. I am really digging the lift so far for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting, Gerben.

[@robomomio4950]

It worth every penny if you can a) afford it and b) use it often. Ignore the haters. I just purchased a ProMaster 2500 converted van. Not a Travato, but looking forward to taking it out. Just waiting on the mattress.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Nice! It's been a blast so far...hope you have a similar experience.

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍Great visuals of how the lift helps. It was definitely worth getting the lift. I don’t know what it takes to do that kind of work but the price seems reasonable. Thanks for sharing your journey. 💝 Wishing you safe travels. 🤗💞🤗

[@30AndAWakeUp]

I was shocked..they had to remove my whole dashboard...no way I could have done that installation! My T would be in 1000 pieces! :)

[@kennethallred7511]

A lot Cheaper than a new lithium battery pack. I really like it.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Haha...true!!!

[@celestemarymcglen930]

Thank you so much for your video and others like it. I took your advice and decided to get a Lift, SumoSprings, wheel alignment and a Skid plate on my 2022 Winnebago Solis. After checking around, Off Highway Vans in Salt Lake City, UT; had the best price and quickest appointment. Yes, it still took a day plus to do (so a night in a hotel room). It is certainly worth it! I'm thrilled with the results! It's so nice to have the extra clearance so I don't have to worry about my undercarriage and I can camp at my favorite spots! Thank you again for your post. OHV is a wonderfully run business with nice and trustworthy people. 💖

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Very cool! Glad to hear that OHV is still taking care of folks!

Greetings from Victoria on Vancouver Island. Picking up my Travato on Tuesday. Here is an idea for adding 4wheel drive. Install electric motor in hub that is used in one of the new EV pickup trucks coming to market this year. Drive it from the Volta battery. Use it only when stuck. There are no under vehicle complications. Well . . . one can dream eh!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Sweet! Congrats! Hmmm...I'll check that out. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🚍

[@grumpy2759]

I can’t wait to get my NPA lifted. Safe travels. We damaged our battery box in Sturges this year.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

It's been great so far.

[@patriciaelliesmama2672]

[@injurylad1]

It was pricy, but considering the type of camping you do it was a good investment. Have fun out there!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, I agree...already did some damage...so hopefully it pays for itself!

[@1958jimmyt]

It looks good...as long as you like it...who cares what others think...I spent $5000 on my lift and 5 new wheels and off road tires....and I love my promaster....God Bless....

Well said! Thanks for watching and commenting, 1Warrior.

Glad you got the lift. Makes it safer for your van and much more fun and adventurous for you. Have a blast💥

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Exactly! Thanks for watching and commenting, Jinnie.

[@louisesanto]

I might be crazy but I think that was a good investment. I remember in the old days (60's) when guys drove around in lowered cars, then the next phase was to lift trucks.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Haha...I had a lowered truck when i was younger! Thanks or watching & commenting Louise.
