Promaster Van Build 2500 159WB - DIY- Outlets Installed - Part 38

New project!! We will be building out a 2021 Dodge Promaster 2500 159 inch wheel base van and turning it into a beautiful tiny home on wheels.
I have built a sailboat, a dinghy, two teardrops and an RV. What better way to combine all builds into one, than to build out a van and enjoy many travels! Journey with me as I put my skills to the test and turn an ordinary cargo van into a luxurious dwelling place on wheels!
We will compliment this van with a full size bed, bench seating for two, running water, full electric, propane cooking appliances, lights throughout, outside shower, and top it off with solar power to run everything. And to add that extra flare… we will do it in BATMAN style!
I hope to see you until the end when we will do a complete tour of the finished van. I hope you like it!

Totally agree with the decision to relocate the overdoor mounted swivel lights. Big improvement! 🏆 The new outlet plate came out great! This is easily one of the nicest vans on KZbin.

[@OregonBatman]

Thanks T! That means a lot!

[@mowguy1]

You really raise the bar for an all thumbs person like me. You do an amazing job and I enjoy watching the progress. Just bought my next project.

[@OregonBatman]

Thanks Randy! Looking forawrd to seeing what your next project is!

[@beachbum200009]

Are you going to put an air tight propane box in?? I put a drop out floor vent and a replacement fresh air vent in the top of a box. Propane is heavier than air and drop out through the floor vent

[@toronado455]

For permanent installation would definitely need a drop out vent.

[@OregonBatman]

Yes sir! That is my plan! I am thinking about drawing a set of plans for the box and have one of our fabricators make it for me out of Stainless Steel. I like where it is located and didn't want to make something that takes up any more room!

[@beachbum200009]

@@OregonBatman I can't wait to see the finished product!! Oh... I'm not a sir. I'm a 68 yr old women that's 2/3 along building out a beautiful van.

[@OregonBatman]

Crap!! I missed that one by a mile and a half! Congrats on your build! You are almost there!

[@charlevoix418]

Yep, great video again Al! I am impressed by your new CNC skills! BTW, I assume that the propane tank will be located in a sealed cabinet with gasketed door wih locks and a hole in the floor to allow any leak, which is heavier than air, to escape.

[@ernietedeschini]

I do appreciate your attention to detail. Did you temporarily borrow the propane tank off the teardrop?

[@OregonBatman]

Thanks Ernie! Actually, I purchased the new tank for the van... just the right size for my needs!

[@CasitaViews]

I have the same problem with sliding door leaking , hope you can figure it out , thanks 🙏

[@toronado455]

I don't know if this will help but someone I know who used to drive a Camaro with T tops told me about a trick... he put Vaseline on the weather stripping, no more leaks!

[@CasitaViews]

@@toronado455 thank you

[@edm7356]

I was thinking of using some J shaped stick-on gutter, but not sure how well it would work. I am very interested in what Al does and then I can just copy... LOL.

[@OregonBatman]

Exactly what I will be using... installed that above the doors on my Teardrop and near the rear hatch. Works like a charm! Also, when I built my RV, I installed about the front window to keep rain out. Works perfectly!
