Years ago our family had a 1974 VW - Adventure Wagon. We had many fun family trips. This vehicle was the beginning of our interest in camper vans.
- Engine rebuilt
- New Webber carburetors
- New upholstery for the front seats
- Powder coated wheels
- New bed and mattress
- Refinished mahogany wood trim
- We were high tech to have a 400 watt inverter that allowed the kids to watch tv while traveling!
For one of our van projects we purchased a 2015 ProMaster 136 wheelbase low roof van from Enterprise Rental Car Sales in 2018.
A significant part of our build design came from this website.

Insulation is one of the most misunderstood topics in the van build community. I used polysio and expanding foam to seal the panels. Here is an excellent article that explains the important concepts and many options: https://faroutride.com/insulation/
- Front loading 12 volt refrigerator
- 16K BTU propane furnace
- Sink with grey and fresh water tanks
- Bench seat battery, toilet, electrical
- Full size bed with storage underneath
- Roll down insulated blinds
- LED lights for ceiling and reading
- Every cabinet has an easy to use, but secure latch for travel.

The van is now set up for adventures off the beaten path. We mounted winter/off-road tires on a second set of wheels, to be able to go on trips in the winter and the summer season.
