Off the Grid Adventure Van:

The build out of this van is NEW.  This is my second Promaster build.  I start with a carefully selected van less than 1 year old and less than 15000 miles.  My wife and I then complete the build out with premium materials and workmanship.  

The Chassis - we choose the Promaster 136" wheel base as a great fit for off-the-grid adventure.  It is more manueverable than the longer 159".  It navigates dips in roads and tight parking spaces with ease.  The front-wheel drive works great in snow.

The layout - the fixed bed is convenient and comfortable allowing for great storage underneath.  The dinette and large, rugged table makes a great space for meals and working.  We keep a clear 12 foot long pathway under the bed and into the living area to accomodate skis, kayaks, SUPs, bikes, etc.  It is great to be able to keep all the expensive gear inside so there are no security concerns when parking the van in urban areas for a night on the town.

Materials - premium materials are used throughout.  Wall panels are marine-grade mahogany plywood.  Insulation is Havelock sheeps wool.  Furnishings are cabinet grade plywood with mahogany trim to make for solid corners.  Flooring is durable, easy to clean luxury vinyl tile.  The ceiling and other trim are PVC boards that are rugged, low maintenance, and easy to clean.
