Starting Van Life OVER (Why We Chose the Ram Promaster)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ย. 2024
- After years of saving and planning we are so excited to give you a tour of our brand new 2024 Ram Promaster 3500 159 extended high roof cargo van conversion. Our van is still empty and the next 8 months will be fully dedicated to converting this into the ultimate home on wheels. We are truly going to make this van the number 1 van life conversion on the internet and we are saying so with confidence and as a promise to all of you! We have been planning this next chapter of our lives for the past 2 years ever since we sold our last van!
We have been hiding this from the internet for over 2 months at this point because we wanted to get everything ready to hit the ground running bringing you content on the whole journey going from an empty van to the perfect vanlife build. We have a ton of exciting collaborations and videos lined up that will ensure this build is more advanced than anything we have seen online before!
Van builds never go according to plan and we have already experienced so many ups and downs and even though its been tough for us in some moments, you can be sure theres going to be some amazing vlog footage coming your way lol. So subscribe, stick around for some exciting videos and we cant wait to share more!
We love you all for watching and reading this far!

YES jeep and van road trip
Please share as much as possible! I’m considering full time van life with 2 years as well!
We would definitely recommend the ram promaster if you’re going to buy a van, it’s the best!!!
I know the great feeling as i convert a van now, Today we put our box awning on. Cant wait to see the videos
Sooo fun!!! We need an awning. Keep us updated with your build!
@@ZoeandMaxVideos bontragers surplus in white pigeon michigan , ask for skylar and tell him cajun sent ya. They purchase all the nos rv mfg parts from jayco / coachmen. I just installed a dometic box awning( i will load a video soon ) you guys have great content also so i subbed your channel.
Vanlife2024! Such an exciting time. New van, new build, new adventure.
Congratulations! You’re awesome guys!
I bought my van in the beginning of 2020. Still building it 😂
My vision and choice of materials:
Floors: 3/4” acrylic square tubes for joists, coosa board, 3M thinsulate between the ribs, 2tech2 woven vinyl flooring on top.
Cabinets and framing: T-slotted aluminum profile (like 8020)
Cabinet surfaces - bamboo
Wall panels - marine plywood upholstered with marine vinyl
Lots of L-track throughout the van (like adventure wagon)
Theme: minimalistic
Thank you so much! We are so stoked😄🚐
Van life 2024 Woo hoo!!! love it, especially the convenience of the positioning of the gas cap lol!

Van Life 2024!! Congratulations!! 🎉❤
Thank you Danielle!!!❤
Good, enjoy the build process! I would put your Maxxair fan in some corner (in the bathroom probably) so it leaves the most roof space for planned (and maybe not-yet-planned) solar panels. With good window placement it will give a breeze into any part of the van. Get the version with the remote. :) As for windows, I'm a TH-cam watcher with no experience in this, but I'd spend the extra money for Arctic Tern windows, to get the insulation value when closed, and because they open at the bottom instead of sliding so they can be used to ventilate on drizzly nights. And they come with bug and privacy screens, super convenient. Edit: other benefits of the fan in the shower include steam exhaust of course, and the fan's skylight effect, bringing in light.
Thank you so much for this super detailed feedback!! We will definitely keep these things in mind. Please let us know if you have any other tips😄💖
Vanlife 2024!! Soo epic you guys! Celebrating this new chapter ~ can’t wait to see the build !🥹🤍

Promaster was the way to go! My first build was a Promaster, then I built a 4x4 Sprinter. I’ve decided to build my third van, and I’m back to the Promaster and stoked!🤘🏻
Yes!!! After some research we decided it was easiest to build out of. Any tips? Thanks for watching !!!
Yay I'm so happy that you guys are back ! Van life 2024 let's gooo
Thank you for watching all the way through!!!❤❤❤
Van Life 2024 let’s gooooo!!! Congratulations to you both! 🍾🍾 can’t wait to follow your adventures!
Thank you Gaelle!!❤❤❤❤
You're back! That's great, I was disappointed because I thought that you had decided not to continue the channel. Looking forward to more videos!
We were sad at the start too… we had no idea how long it would take us to save up. Luckily we did it in two years! We have so many amazing videos planned. Thanks for coming back!❤❤
Zoe and Max when I've learned from Van life building use Baltic birch for the wood and treated waterproof mold proof wood very strong havelock wool for installation easy to work with looking forward to your new build David the traveling ferret 2024
Thank you so much for this!!! Will do! Can’t wait to share more🫶🏼
For the floor, I would recommend to stay away from wood altogether (even the treated one like marine plywood). There is a new trend in yacht industry - composite materials. You never have to dread about mold or decomposition.
I’m specifically talking about Coosa Board. It is half as light as a sheet of plywood, completely waterproof.
Watch MoonrakerDesigns floor video. He discusses it there.
Vanlife 2024! Welcome back! 🎉
Thank you for watching all the way through!!!❤❤❤❤
Van life 2024! Sweet can’t wait to see more! Are you going to make a pass through from the cab to the back?
Thank you for watching all the way through! We are not, but going to keep the little window as we can crawl through incase of emergencies 😄
Woww what an amazing adventure!! Can’t wait to see where it takes you 🫶🏼😍

Vanlife2024 ;) Question, looking at a 159 Ext and we're planning a layout now. You're one of the few with a factory bulkhead between the seats and back that I've seen! Any chance you could provide some measurements for us? 1) Height from the floor until the bulkhead starts to come out into the back of the van 2) How far into the doorway the bulkhead juts out 3) Narrowest part of the ceiling from right to left. Thanks!
@@Fmstrat thank you so much for watching! We will have to get back to you on that- we are travelling til the 7th! I will add that to my notes 😄 if we forget please leave us another comment and we will for sure get you that info!
@@ZoeandMaxVideos That would be fantastic, thank you and good luck on your travels.
Do you guys have a patreon account? I never had the fortune to do things like this when I was your age. When you're young you have the energy but no or little money and vice versa when you're older. Through Patreaon people (me first) would like to contribute to your adventure. Life is short and gotta live it...quickly. Take care you guys and god bless you guys!
@@megaoption not yet, maybe after a few vlogs! You can help us out by sharing our videos to Facebook or with your friends. Thank you so much for wanting to support us!
finally!
