Van Build Conversion Tour 2020 | Ram Promaster camper van tour with Logan & Kelleen

We bought an empty 2017 Ram Promaster and built out the full conversion during world-wide quarantine!
It's non-extended 12ft cargo length with the 2500 engine.
We've posted links to all of the main components we used in our van build!

Nice build. Having a bathroom is a must.

[@Pimpammpun]

You guys have great chemistry and the synergy between you to is awesome. Love the build, great use of space. My only qualm is the stove near the bed and the no toilet thing but that’s a personal choice. I pee so much in the middle of the night that I would need a toilet 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

[@johnmca5643]

Thanks! Super nice van. I've never seen the under mounted propane tank. Makes me wonder why others aren't doing it. Seems like a great idea. Thanks for the parts list.

[@loganseims7921]

I've seen several other van lifers do it. It is a bit more spendy to do it this way so that may be a reason not everyone does it

[@johntatman9168]

[@tjprimes4759]

I like the way y'all have decorated the van. I have changed from a tiny house on wheels to a van or RV. I also think y'all should place something between the bed & the stove; they seem to be dangerously close. 😇 I hope you guys continue to enjoy your van on the road ☺️🤩

Absolutely love it guys, one of the best one I’ve seen to date! I like the fact you installed a actual permanent propane tank, installed the water tank and pump indoors an used a propane fridge! Only a small tweaks I would make just to suit our travel style but other than that it’s perfect! Enjoy

[@pcthayer]

Impressive layout and build. Although inconvenient to get from the living area to the driving area if you need to leave in a hurry. As others mentioned, be careful cooking with that bedding beside the stove. (I'd put a little 8 inch high partition between them.) You folks did all the work yourselves? Not sure where you learned how to do all of that, but you two have talent.

[@loganseims7921]

Having a 3 seater definitely has its pros and cons, all of which we considered during our build. We actually love it, especially for long road trips! So far we haven't had a need to leave in a hurry. I have thought of a swivel design that could allow the entire bench seat to rotate. (If I decide to put that much work into it). An 8 inch partition between the stove and bed would be an easy addition, something we'll keep in mind!

[@julieowen5874]

Nice guys👍

[@iaminbetweendays]

Very nice.

[@emmaashby7460]

Rather concerned about how close the stove is to the bed could do with a heat resistant partition other than that nice build

[@LKseims]

Don't worry, it's not as close as it looks! The blankets in that corner stay cool to the touch even after quite a bit of cooking. We do keep a fire extinguisher under our sink, but it wouldn't hurt to build an additional fireproof gaurd between the stove and bed. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@vanessahenry7238]

I intended to put a curtain between my kitchen/bedroom, I don’t like smells. What would you recommend?

[@Curiousever]

Great van, like your layout. One thing I would have done differently is put the fridge on top and the water heater/hanging closet at the bottom. I expect you use the fridge more often.

[@rose8662]

💖 You've built a gorgeous van. It looks so clean, open and professional. I LOVE it! ❔You're in Alaska? Would you please post videos of your adventures there? It's my favorite state and would love to see it. ✔Wanted to mention that on some UK van videos I've seen the double seat mounted on a swivel. I think that could be a great option if you do have someone traveling with you, they'd have a place to sit. 🌹Thanks and have a wonderful time!💖🌺

[@LKseims]

Yes, we are in Alaska, it's such a beautiful state, we'll definitely upload some videos highlighting it! Love the idea of the swivel double seat. Thank you!!

[@LKseims]

We currently are setting our bikes in there with a blanket between them to keep them from rattling against eachother, but we are planning to put a mount in there soon! In one of our future vids we'll be sure to show both bikes back there and how they fit! Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey, great van. Can you give us more details (and a parts list) on how you constructed your bed frame. Also, how much clearance did you choose below?

[@adarvold5157]

Have you had any issue finding a place to fill propane? I am debating between a sealed cage for a 20 LB tank inside the garage and a mounted version like you have. great build!

[@LKseims]

We haven't had a problem finding a place to fill our propane! About 50% (or more) of gas stations we've come across can fill it:) Happy traveling!!

[@swat8705]

Firstly, love your van! I am interested in your water heater setup. I am contemplating on adding a hot water shower to my van, but not sure how to go about doing it. In your setup I did catch a glimpse of an exhaust vent on top of the roof and some duct piping going out of the water heater, but not sure how it's installed. I would love to see how you did your water heater installation. Thanks for sharing!

[@LKseims]

Since our fridge was also run on propane we installed a large-ish vent for that. So for the water heater we used duct piping to funnel the exhaust down and out the same side vent as the fridge! We'll try and post a more in depth plumbing video in the next week or two!:)

[@grnladybuglouviere2956]

love the shower. Any instruction or link to how to build the DIY shower pan? I can't seem to figure out how people are doing this.

[@LKseims]

I wish we had filmed it! We watched videos on building things with fiberglass resin and tried it from there. It's not too difficult, just a lot of fumes so wear a mask and make sure it's in a ventilated space

[@goingmouch3753]

Hi ya, thanks for the tour...question... I am English, so apologies for this question lol... when you say a gas engine do you mean petrol / diesel? Or gas as in LPG? Thanks

[@LKseims]

Haha sorry! Didn't think to clarify that! It runs on petrol. There are some versions of the Ram Promaster that run on diesel, so that is why we mentioned something in the intro.

[@joseyournortheastdriverech7017]

Looks Good. Just 1 question is how do your propane water heater fumes is let out from your van

[@LKseims]

Thank you! We have an aluminum duct funneling the fumes out the same vent out fridge uses. We are probably going to do a video specifically on our hot water heater, so if you have any other questions, let us know!

[@featherlily2908]

love the shower..just dont like the stove near the bed...but overall you guys did a good job. stay safe

[@LKseims]

Thank you! We recently added a heat shield divider between the stove and the bed since so many people recommended it:) Love the feedback!

[@Martin-xr1mo]

Well planned out build ! 👍🏼. Do you have any regrets on not having rear windows?

[@LKseims]

We actually don't! We really considered it while planning the build, but opted for the two side windows instead. The bed's height would block out half of the view out of rear windows anyways & the side windows allow for a cross breeze

[@chasinggeckos8843]

I have watched a ton of builds. I have to say I love yours a ton. I am right in the middle of my own build on the same van. Love the spare tire location. I will copy. Hard to believe two bikes will fit. Can you show us. I am Putting in new motor in two weeks. I have almost the exact layout. Except my shower is beside my bed on drivers side. Question please. What model of furnace did you use? Annnnnd Did you install the propane tank or have someone do it for you? I am in Ontario and want an under mount tank. Love the build!

[@LKseims]

Congrats on starting vanlife too! We'll be sure to show our bikes in the garage in a future video. Our furnace is a Suburban NT-20SEQ. And yes, we did install the propane tank ourselves. It was a little tricky. We shortened the mounting brackets so it wouldn't be hanging too low. Let us know if you have any other questions about that!

[@jeanmahan4767]

I’m a friend of Ed’s and from Sterling. I love your set up. Did you buy the van and have it built out to your specs or did this one come to you this way? Beautiful set up. Do you live in it and travel full time? So nice. Hope to see and follow along on some of your travels. Subscribed! 🤗🦋🙏

[@LKseims]

We bought it completely empty back in June and spent most the summer building it out in AZ. We road tripped to Alaska and have been living in it / finishing it up here! We are going to sell it up here or continue the van life adventure full-time:) Thanks for your interest!

[@mhelp9815]

What kiind of solar panels did you use? 12v 250watt? Have you had many places here in the US that won't fill your propane? I was wanting to use external propane in my build by worried about that.

[@LKseims]

Yes! It's a 12v 250 watt! And we haven't had any problems filling the propane tank. Many gas stations (about 50%) have propane fill stations. They are happy to fill it as long as it is easily accessible

[@TacoBellWerewolf]

Did you guys incorporate a mixing valve into the shower? If so, would you mind sharing how you connected pex (or whatever you used) From the mixing valve to the tankless heater?

[@LKseims]

The mixing valve came as a part of the shower trim kit. We connected it to the pex using a 1/2" NPT to 1/2" pex adapter. We'll do a video focusing primarily on the tankless water heater too, so please let us know if you have any other questions!

[@TacoBellWerewolf]

@@LKseims yes please do. It’s the water outlet on the tankless heater I’m wondering about. Usually people just take a shower head and run it directly from the tankless. Wondering how you connected that portion to your mixing valve

Hi Linda, Logan is from Alaska, but we were building out our van in Arizona when Covid-19 hit. We drove up in July and Canada allowed us through on the condition that we were in and out in 72 hours & didn't stop for anything besides sleep/food/gas. Hope you find your way up here again ♡

[@michaelheppler2193]

[@1tlb0k61]

Nice build! Love the shower and pine board! I am currently updating my van and would like to do pine siding too. Where did you get the pine tongue & grove slats? Also, I currently have one fantastic fan & an AC unit over the bed. I hv 2 windows on each side of the bed providing nice cross ventilation which I totally love (& have an AC over head). I'm thinking about replacing the AC with a 2nd fan to cool the van, but my partner thinks I should keep the AC. If doing again, would you stick with the double fan set up, or would you do an AC?

[@kleitosaliagas5668]

Isn't it dangerous to have a propane tank under neath the van, in case you hit something (in rough terrain) that punctures it?

[@LKseims]

It's higher up than our drive line, so the rough terrain would have to take that out first! Also the puncture would have to cause a spark as well or no flames occur. 🤔

[@ferngulley]

Looks great. but I'm concerned that your water heater says on the front not to use in the room. It's mainly an outdoor water heater. And it could ignite your clothes hanging in the closet.

[@LKseims]

Thanks! It's actually an indoor water heater, we made sure of that when we purchased it. We just vented it according to the manufacturer's recommendation.

be very careful with the stove so close to bed if you have a pot on the stove and a breeze comes through can push flames from under pan and catch bed on fire. this happened to friends and burn trailer to the ground in minutes.

Don't worry, it's not as close as it looks! The blankets in that corner stay cool to the touch even after quite a bit of cooking. We do keep a fire extinguisher under our sink, but it wouldn't hurt to build an additional fireproof gaurd between the stove and bed. Thanks for the recommendation!

@@LKseims I had the same concern when I first saw it. Maybe you could install the shield in such a way that you flip it up when you use the stove and flip it down & out of sight when you're not? Either way, it's a beautiful build! 💖

What colors is the paint ?

[@LKseims]

We used white on the walls, weathered grey gel stain for the cupboards and a light grey+tan mix for the garage
