Anna Go Vanna
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2014
My name is Anna and I am new to sharing content on TH-cam. Join me as I self-convert my 2023 RAM ProMaster, Vanna, to a camper van. 🛠️
I have never converted a van before but I have done DIY projects in my home like… renovated bathroom, renovated kitchen, and redid my two-tier deck. Perhaps I’ll share those videos one day.

Upper Cabinets going in my ProMaster van - Episode 41
มุมมอง 7714 วันที่ผ่านมา
Upper cabinets were slapped on Vanna’s driver side. Don’t hold your breath for the cabinet doors tho…I'm procrastinating on that towards the end of the build. Vanna is a Super High Roof model of the Ram ProMaster and I am working solo on converting her to a camper van (I get help when needed). A little about me…I am a System/Software Engineer by day and a DIYer when I want to be. 😆

Vanna now has three working battery charging sources! The last episode showed the installation of the DC to DC charger which charges from Vanna’s alternator while driving.

Episode 37 - Hot water plumbing in van …and fixed the diesel heater Kalori blower
มุมมอง 562 หลายเดือนก่อน
This video showcases my work on hot water plumbing, illustrating the complexity and time required to complete tasks that may initially appear uncomplicated. Nonetheless, I am still encountering difficulties with one connecting piece on the hot water supply line that was included with my heating system. Always something. 🤷🏽♀️ On a positive note, I have resolved the issue with my Kalori blower (...

มุมมอง 1012 หลายเดือนก่อน
My D5E Hydronic S3 diesel heating system (with radiant heated floors) is running y’all! I should be able to plumb my hot water lines soon. 😅 The Kalori blower (heater) blows air whether furnace is running or not. I’m thinking to add a switch for it if I can’t figure that out. 🤷🏽♀️ Sorry the Kalori blower was loud for most of the video.

This episode (sorry it is so long) focuses on the electrical compartment for Vanna. I got a 4000w inverter hoping it will power both my cooktop and “oven” at the same time since both requires a little of wattage. I have to mention the trouble I had connecting two (out of 16) cable lugs due to the wires fraying and the connector being…different. Darnell saved the day and did what seemed impossib...

Making murphy bed for my ProMaster van - Part 1
มุมมอง 685 หลายเดือนก่อน
Working on one of many needed tasks … the murphy bed. So far I have constructed the bed frame but the face panels and mattress support still needs to be done. The outer frame will be a challenge as I deviate from the instructions a bit to accommodate Vanna’s curves. Brainstorming how I will tackle the walls behind the bed. 🤔 Wish I had a table saw. Wish I had a shop.
I had to tear out shower tiles in my ProMaster van!

In this video, I am repairing a leak I found coming from my drain pipe underneath my shower base. I raised my shower base up an inch in hopes that I would not have to tear down my shower if this happens again. The final height of my shower is 72”. My van is a Super High Roof model of ProMaster Ram.

Its coming along nicely. The bed barely clears your cabinets !!!
IKR! It barely “cleared” (that’s the word I wanted lol). Thank you. 😊
From LaGreenga of Crystal! Best to you. Will be watching from my Artistic Window 🪟! Nice to meet you! 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
Nice to meet you too! I'm excited to have you along on this journey. 😊
I love how it's coming all together. 😊💎
That's fancy. I love pocket doors. I'm sending subscribers to your channel.
Thank you! I appreciate that. 😊
That's a huge murphy bed. I think mine is 59 inches across. Looking good
My bed is a Full sized. It opens horizontally. 😊
@AnnaGoVanna are you going to make ventilation holes in your murphy bed platform. I would highly suggest that or raising it up . I believe mine is on a foley system. It allows air flow under the mattress to prevent mold build up.
I do intend to drill holes for ventilation. Thanks for looking out. 🙏🏽
Greyman vanlife has sent me over to check you out ❤❤right on my friend looks really cool 😊cozy little builds yeah so far so good new subscriber

Please turn your camera horizontally so we can get the full effect. Long ways is used for shorts sixty seconds or less
Someone else said the same thing. I will try this on the upcoming videos. Not sure how it will look after editing but will see. Thanks!
@AnnaGoVanna it will be much better and to flip the screen around Just swipe your finger across the screen. Sometimes you need to pause first
Omg 4000 watt inverter. That's serious.
Yes! Thought about my electric cooktop, oven, and other AC devices. 🧐🤓😆
My promaster weighs just under 10k fully built
I should weigh my van again soon. Just under 10k sounds close to the max. 😮
Im looking forward to catching up on your progress. Im clapping 👏
@@Graymanvanlife thank you 😊
Again. Super impressed with your choices and apparent skill set.😊😊😊
I surprised myself a few times. 😂 Thank you.
Very impressive. Especially putting tubing on the wall. Im following your build out
Thank you. I hope the tubes on the wall helps. My original layout plans changed. 🤷🏽♀️
Welcome to the 50 something club and also to the promaster club. I subscribed😊😊😊

Loving the van build but please record horizontally rather than vertically. Looking forward to seeing how it comes together. I bet you’re very excited.
Thank you for your feedback. I will try this on my next videos. Much appreciated. 😊

and @fivepoundpete mounted flexible panels with velcro standoffs and has put many thousands of miles on his van with no issues.
@@MooseVan Too late for me. I already purchased rigid solar panels a while ago before I realized there were no studs on the roof. Gonna have to do a DIY mount.
i love that shower head
@@GoodenuffCollective Thanks 😊
Thanks! Are you sure my bed is lighter because it was heavy to me. 😅
That is so awesome. So much lighter than my murphy. I love your channel. Keep them videos coming.
Thanks! I’m liking it so far 😊
Murphy beds rock. I put one in my van. Best decision ever. Love your channel.
Hi Anna….looks good…I need Darnell to help me with mine! Looking forward to more posts!😊
@@naturallife9931 Thank you! Darnell is super helpful when he’s around and available. I will show him your message. 😊
Pretty cool project!👍
@@thewaterox1 thanks 😊
Hi Y’all! I forgot to mention getting the idea of diesel tank placement from one of Roland Lewis’s videos. In his ProMaster he seems to have a little bit more space than my van.
How exciting, go Anna!!

I will be following you on this journey!
