    MB 1120 Coming to America! Purchase, Build and Now Travel!

    Just seeing this thread so forgive me if it has been covered. How are you attaching cabinetry to the composite box? Adhesive? Screws? Have you already upgraded the alternator? If not then I would approach Nations to have them make you a high powered one that will adequately charge your house...

    Big custom camper sightings

    I don’t quite understand the question. Earthroamers have a hood that lifts up. It’s a Ford F-550. No “cab removal”. The larger European trucks have a tilting cab for maintenance.

    Loaded Off-grid Overland Ram Promaster Conversion For Sale

    Thanks! The Promaster is the better choice over the Transit for a few reasons but the main are: 1. More interior volume per length. The Promaster has 6'4" in usable height and 6'3" width. 2. Front wheel drive. We drove back country Utah all through Mexico and Central America. Front wheel drive...

    Loaded Off-grid Overland Ram Promaster Conversion For Sale

    Thanks! Yes the A/C has an intake and exhaust tube run through the floor. I love the A/C but would not recommend it unless you have excellent insulation and you properly insulate the single pane windows in your rig. Otherwise this A/C does not have the power to cool the space. I recommend the...

    Loaded Off-grid Overland Ram Promaster Conversion For Sale

    So I had not come back to post because we sold the van three days after listing to the first person we showed it to. Well, the buyer backed out due to a family emergency. So, I am relisting the van for sale! Go check out the website and pass this on to anyone who may be interested...

    Loaded Off-grid Overland Ram Promaster Conversion For Sale

    Thank you! The condenser was malfunctioning. They replaced it out of warranty for no charge! Very happy with the service from Autoclima. The A/C is low BTU so you can't expect much as far as cooling (especially with single pane windows all around). It does feel amazing blowing on you when you...

    We may do another van while we wait for the truck to be imported from Germany (we are looking to purchase an ex fire truck Mercedes 917, MAN or Iveco to build into an expedition rig).

    Loaded Off-grid Overland Ram Promaster Conversion For Sale

    Thank you! We opted for no heat exchanger due to the fact the engine has to be hot to provide any benefit. The van has enough battery power to easily handle 20 minutes at 1200W for the water heater to be on. For cold weather camping we have heating pads on the water tanks and the grey tank...

    Loaded Off-grid Overland Ram Promaster Conversion For Sale

    You are exactly right. It is difficult to keep dust from coming through the back doors. The wall prevents it from coming into the living space. The storage nets were from EzNet purchased on Amazon. They come in various sizes. Cheap but functional. Heavy duty straps are from Wrap-It purchased...

    Loaded Off-grid Overland Ram Promaster Conversion For Sale

    Thanks! We have metal screens that lock in the front windows for ventilation. The fantastic vent in the roof moves quite a lot of air. The A/C pulls air through the floor. An awning could be installed if you prefer. The design goal with this van was "stealth" since overlanding also requires...

    Loaded Off-grid Overland Ram Promaster Conversion For Sale

    The air conditioner is DC so it is connected directly to the battery (No need to turn on the inverter). It draws around 44 amps on high so at night (no gains from solar) we can run it for around 9-10 hours. by the way, the house is all electric. No propane, diesel or gasoline powered anything.

    Loaded Off-grid Overland Ram Promaster Conversion For Sale

    This van is amazing. It was designed for a couple to live and travel full time. There are no compromises. We chose the gas Promaster so it would be capable of world travel (there is no ULSD and DEF is difficult to source south of Mexico). Selling because I am building a large expedition...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Right. How much do you think they paid for Perky Mog? And is that $580k their bottom dollar price? Doubtful. It's still for sale. Someone will buy it for half of what they paid.
