It is amazing to see all of the different builds; something to fit everyone's needs. I've seen a lot of setups that work for two people or a lot of permanent installs, but I needed something different. This needs to be our second car. It needs to get the kids to school. It needs to replace my truck in hauling stuff. And, it needs to transport four people to the campsite and sleep 4 people. A tall order, but I think the Promaster can do it.
Here's a slide deck I put together that goes over my ideas: Promaster Campervan
Last Friday I picked up the empty starter:
Not quite what I would have ordered, but pretty close:
The big pop-top is currently scheduled to start August 14th at Colorado Camper Van. They are going to install the top, solar, an awning, and a two-battery system.
Before my road trip to Colorado to drop it off, I would like to get the following done:
The seats and windows are currently in transit, as is some Rat-L-Trap. I've been emailing Hans and will order Thinsulate on Monday. After I get back, I'll be doing walls, rear bed, kitchenette, LPG, heater and final electrical.
I have a spreadsheet going with all the to-do items. It takes a lot to build one of these things!
I've really appreciate all of the knowledge on this forum and have been soaking it up over the last few months. I hope to be able to contribute a bit to the collective knowledge, as well!
