VAN TOUR | STUNNING Self-Converted Camper Van Build | Ram ProMaster 136 Conversion w/ SECRET STORAGE

We finally made it! This is my Ram ProMaster 136” WB camper van that I spent about 6 months building out. If you figure out where my secret storage is located, you get 23 gold stars and a high five. Stokey the bear is stoked to get on the road.

Dude, you helped me so much to get my build started. Thanks for ALL the hours you put into documenting this. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@JasonKlunk]

🙏🙏

[@00cam69]

Finally a surfer van!!! Dig the color and the set up! I might copy haha

[@JasonKlunk]

haha thanks

[@SoCalSurfer69]

thank you for sharing this video. I was looking at a 136 with dual sliding doors. Mainly will be for taking to Sano for surf day or road trips not for living full time. I really like your layout, especially the back bed area.

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks!

[@evelyndunn50]

Really nice build. Proves you don’t need a big van.

[@JasonKlunk]

Thank you! I agree 100% haha

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks!

[@msmargiek48]

I have watched your entire build and it looks beautiful. Your video helped us soooo much install our solar panels on the canopy of our truck. We had to keep going back and watching it over and over but it all worked great. We are now getting a new van and starting a full build. Will be watching all your stuff over and over. haha. Thanks you for documenting everything so well and naming the vendors, very helpful.

[@JasonKlunk]

thanks!

[@rosemarydoran9907]

Beautiful! Love the cabinet color and the farm sink! And being a crazy dog mom, I LOVE that you were so thoughtful about integrating Winnie into your van build. And your mom is proud, despite you talking about toilets! Oh and Dometic owes you for all the shoutouts!😉

Great job! Thanks for sharing.

[@JasonKlunk]

Thank you!

[@elektrobits3408]

It looks very clean. Especially the difficult areas around the doors and over the driving seats are much nicer than so often. And a great idea to have these beam covers and use it for the electrics. 👍

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks!

[@lebigmac74]

What a master piece, absolutely stunning! Love that wood around the stove, makes it look like a real apartment. And again I have to say that I can't understand why this channel has only 10k subscribers. Something must be wrong with KZbin's algorithm!

Nice set up Jason, thanks for sharing!!!

[@JasonKlunk]

You bet

[@bitminerbob6731]

That's a great layout. Looks awesome!! Enjoy your travels. :)

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks so much!

[@IngridsVanlife]

I like the solution of the raised floor in-between the benches, I haven't seen that done before. And it was very smart to have a door to the water tanks from the entrance, for easy access. I was thinking of putting my fridge there for better ventilation.

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks 👍

[@familykeepersca]

Thanks, great help, just thinking to get a pormaster!

Thanks!

[@pattiburton9976]

You have done a phenomenal job!! My fiancé and I also have a 1500 Pro Master that we are planning to work on soon. We have the basics now but plan to add more. Your build has been an incredible model of how to do it right!

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks so much

[@theverdickts4864]

You can buy a lower seat base to compensate for the extra height added by the swivel mechanism, they are readily available.

[@lexzan]

First off. BEAUTIFUL build. Second. I love your priorities in the fridge. Plenty of beer space 😂

[@JasonKlunk]

hahaha thanks!

[@darian.explores]

Was excited to see the final product! It looks amazing. The dog bowl storage drawer is great.

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks so much!

@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath throughout his build, I’ve always appreciated his attention to detail. He didn’t cut corners. I think that really takes a van to the next level.

[@stephenschuit7880]

I like your style: low-key, very descriptive, no hyperbole, keep an interesting flow. Thanks. I love the 1500, this after driving cross-country and back with the 2500. I do think that in many cases, less is more.

[@JasonKlunk]

Much appreciated! I agree, I like the 136 for our needs.

Thanks!

Thanks much for detailed product list and links. First I’ve heard of recirculating the hot water, great idea, how did u hook up the return of the hot water recirculating loop to the tankless heater? Also I subbed in appreciation. Thanks again, great job.

Thanks for all your van videos, I think I have watched them all a few times! How did you route the wires for the light under the sliding door back into the van?

[@JasonKlunk]

I ran the wire down the beam on passenger side by the sliding door, there is an opening underneath the van that you can fish a wire through.

[@christinesweet555]

Hey Jason, I am new to your channel. Great job!! The reward is in the beauty of being able to live in such a beautiful van. I don't know if you have mentioned or if you would mind saying how much it cost all in without factoring in your time?

[@trevorlongman3783]

Nicely done! Looks great. How are you enjoying those push to open drawer slides? Love the idea, wasn't sure how it would hold up in a van environment.

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks, they have worked out pretty well for us.

[@vilayvanh1531]

So great to see the fully finished van, stellar build!! We’ve been following your videos while building out our van and they’ve been tremendously helpful. You mentioned getting your fabric from UFO, would you share the name of the fabric because that’s what I’d like to use as well. Thanks!!

[@JasonKlunk]

Thank you. We found the fabric on one of those remnant rolls, so so you might not have much luck finding the exact stuff I used. I found a picture of the tag that was on ours, all it says is Pattern: Fentley. Color: Slate

[@vilayvanh1531]

@@JasonKlunk thanks!! Your build looks so awesome and thanks again for all the videos as they’ve helped us a lot! We’ll be checking out SK Upholstery and will let them know you sent us 😁

Hey Jason, beautiful job! thanks for sharing. Question regarding SK Upholstery, did you supply the foam for the cushions or did Scott? Thank you!

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks, Scott did.

[@judithjones7546]

Nice job! Everything looks very well thought out, but my favorite parts are the “beams” on the countertops. Do they provide your secret hiding place to? God Bless and Stay Safe.

thank you. haha, nope but good guess!

[@mariovenegas8468]

Jason I’m a big fan of yours “your built is so awesome thanks for all your time I always watch your videos very good details I’m building my van as of now do have any videos on installing your recess lights with your electrical wires ? not sure what size is your recessed lights are they LED ? But i do like your lighting system

[@JasonKlunk]

Awesome! Thank you! No electrical video yet, but possibly soon. They are LED puck lights and they are linked in the description.

[@mariovenegas8468]

Right on

[@JamesPuente]

Love the videos! Been very helpful as I do my own build. How’d you make the dinette table? Is that just extra butcher block countertop at 1.5” thick?

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks. I ended up custom ordering something from here: hardwood-lumber.com/

[@marctania2349]

Great vid, Jason. Can I ask what the white paint color is that you used for the interior?

[@rawnewdlz]

Nice touch with the light under the van. May I ask what particular product you went with?

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks. I repurposed one of the LED bars that came with the van, it was originally screwed into the ceiling.

[@GetPoised]

Great video and beautiful build!! Looking for FIRM cushions for our bed/dinette and I see that you don't sink down into yours. Would you mind sharing where you got them? Much appreciated!

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks. I had them custom made by a company in San Diego.

[@leblancexplores]

Do you have more info about your recirculating hot water in one of the vids? I thought I’ve watched all of them and don’t recall this feature in any of them. I might have missed one.

[@icecreamtruckguy]

I’d like more info on this too.

[@AlabamaTree]

Does the excel heater come with two warm water water outlets connections so you can have warm water for the sink tap and also an external shower? This is what we want 👍🏽

[@theerwincreative8418]

Love the van and great job building it! Where did you get those bench cushions?

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks. We got the cushions made by SK Upholstery in San Diego.

[@davidwoodie996]

Can I ask how you attached those beams you made to cover up the ugly beams? I love the way yours looks and would like to do something similar!

[@JasonKlunk]

pocket screws

[@tWz4462]

Very Nice.. and clean. Suggestion.. hang your garbage pail on the door. Question ❓❓ Where did you purchase the packing bags?

[@JasonKlunk]

Thanks. I ordered off of Amazon, they are linked in the description (packing cubes)

[@shawncareny6784]

You have inspired me to do this on my own. Quick question: You mention propane locker. Is this something you made or purchased? can you drop a line for where you purchased?

[@JasonKlunk]

Awesome. I built the propane locker myself, it's basically a top loading box that is sealed up with a sealant and a gasket. Propane is heavy, so if you have a leak it'll sit low - so I have a hole through the bottom of the box/van where it vents out in case of a leak. There is some good information here: faroutride.com/propane-system/

[@massey141]

Have the drawers been staying closed? I saw your other video and you choose to use the the Center Line push to open bracket? We are about to start that part of the build and are looking at all the options. Thanks!

[@JasonKlunk]

I’ve got one problem drawer but it’s because I installed it a little off - I just need to spend a few hours redoing it. Other than that one, I’ve been happy with my drawers.

[@max4296]

Hey Jason, have you been happy with the way your DCC50s charges your battery? My DCC50s seems to stay in "boost charge" mode at 14.4v as long as the battery is full, which is not good for lithium. Also it never seems to switch from "green" full battery to "orange" light. Have you noticed any of this or tried to fix this?

[@JasonKlunk]

I have been very happy with all of my electrical components. I haven't had any issues yet

[@icecreamtruckguy]

I’m thinking about the same water heater - do you have to open a cabinet door when you use the water heater? Is there a lot of heat inside the cabinet when it’s in use?

[@JasonKlunk]

The only time I feel like I need to open it is if I’m using the shower outside for a long period of time, in which case I already have the door open.

[@icecreamtruckguy]

@@JasonKlunk Yeah; that’s the exact water heater I’m considering. Your return line system - great idea! You’re using an electric valve of some sort? Do you remember what you used?
