A Ram Promaster conversion was a van we considered when we upgraded from our Chevy Astro van. I liked the fact that they are affordable and wide enough to sleep sideways without installing expensive flares.
However, I eventually decided against the Dodge Promaster for a campervan build as I wanted something hardier that could go off-road on more challenging terrain. The Promaster won’t do you wrong if you’re off-roading down gravel roads, but we often like to push the limits. That’s why we chose a Sprinter van 4×4 for van life, as it’s the highest clearance panel van there is.
Ram Promaster conversions, though, are still an awesome choice for van life. It’s just about what you’ll be using the van for and your budget.
Here are some awesome conversion ideas for your inspiration!
LivingInAdvance
Sarah and Brandon live in their beautiful Ram ProMaster conversion with their three dogs Kissy, Ziggy, and Koi.
Their van build is super-cozy inside, with recessed LED lights on a fader switch, a table with comfy seating, and a fixed bed in the back of the van. There’s an awesome kitchen on the passenger side, with a deep sink, stovetop, and extra counter space that folds down. We love the tile backsplash above the big fridge on the other side.
There’s loads of storage inside the van as well as outside storage under the bed. The outdoor van life shower is a great addition that’s ideal for cleaning dogs and humans! Sarah and Brandon also installed solar panels on the roof as well as a wonderful deck.
Acrovan Adventures
Chris and Jessie spent a year converting their 2019 Ram ProMaster camper van. This awesome conversion boasts 600 watts of solar, a 12.2-gallon propane tank, and a 42-gallon water tank, so it’s ideal for off-grid adventures.
The couple spent a long time designing their layout before starting to build, and it definitely shows. The beautiful kitchen has wooden counters, an oven, and propane burners hidden under a wooden cover. There’s tons of campervan storage inside, including a hidden wine rack, as well as an amazing wet bath with a sliding door. Our favorite feature is the hammock that attaches to the van’s roof!
The Hunters Vanlife
Ethan and Katelynn sold everything to pursue their van life dreams. They converted a 2018 Ram ProMaster 3500 Extended High Roof van, and the final product is truly gorgeous.
The passenger-side kitchen features a 3-burner cooktop, wood counters, and plenty of storage. There’s a great wet bath with a sliding door behind the driver’s seat and recessed LED lights throughout. What we really love is the elevated U-shaped dinette at the rear of the van.
The couple cut a green tea-infused memory foam campervan mattress to make the seating cushions, and the dinette converts to a comfy bed with loads of storage underneath. With a pair of 300-watt Renogy solar panels on the roof, this van is fully equipped for off-grid living.
Enweille Dans Van
Em and Antho spent $16,700 on their ProMaster conversion, and the results are stunning. This ProMaster 2500 High Roof has everything you could possibly want in a van, including a shower, toilet, and loads of well-designed storage under the wrap-around bench seat.
There’s even a ceiling-mounted projector for movie nights! The amazing kitchen has plenty of wooden countertop space, with an oven on one side of the van and a sink and induction cooktop on the other. At the rear of the van, a comfy and spacious dinette area converts to a comfy bed, and wood paneling throughout keeps things cozy.
Allison Bove
Allison Bove’s Ram ProMaster conversion van is proof that you don’t have to spend outrageous amounts of money on your van. Allison’s conversion cost just $4,372 and she completed the whole thing herself, with a little help from family and friends.
The conversion features a beautiful campervan kitchen with a tile backsplash, wooden countertops, and a large sink. We love the cozy vibe inside – there’s a wood ceiling, rugs, and curtains to keep things feeling homey.
Allison installed a 100-watt solar panel as well as a GoWise Power 1500W pure sine wave inverter, so she can use her electrical system to run household appliances. There’s a fixed bed with interior and exterior storage underneath, and a wonderful roof deck for 360-degree views.
The Darling Dirtbag
Sarah Wallace and her dog Banjo live in Vanna White, her entirely self-converted Ram ProMaster 2500. We love how much thought went into this Ram ProMaster conversion – Sarah obviously did a lot of planning and research.
There are two zones of LED lights on dimmer switches, and two Maxxair rooftop fans, as well as vent windows that keep things nice and fresh inside. Sarah used spruce for the ceilings and countertops, and the super-deep kitchen sink has an extendable faucet that can be used as a shower.
There’s a fixed bed at the rear of the van, as well as tons of overhead storage cabinets. For power, the van has 400 watts of solar, as well as a 2500W inverter.
Always the Adventure
Amber McDaniel is a writer and rock climber who lives in her self-converted 159″ Wheelbase Ram ProMaster 3500.
This cool ProMaster conversion features huge exterior storage space with an amazing shoe rack and plenty of room for Amber’s climbing gear. We really like the rustic look she’s created in this camper van. All the wooden cabinet doors make this look like a cozy cabin on wheels!
There’s a double kitchen sink on the passenger side with plenty of storage and huge water tanks underneath. On the opposite side, a Dometic fridge slides out from a neat compartment and there’s a stovetop with loads of counter space. As with most Ram ProMaster conversions, the fixed bed is set up so Amber can sleep across the width of the van.
Exploring in a Van
Chelsea and Scott are a husband and wife team who converted their Ram ProMaster cargo van and hit the road in 2019.
Affectionately referred to as “Nellie,” this Ram ProMaster conversion has an incredible 610 watts of solar on the roof, as well as a pair of 100 amp-hour lithium batteries. The couple also installed an under-mount propane tank for their stove, furnace, and hot water heater.
The van conversion is beautiful, with wooden counters, clean lines, and atmospheric lighting all adding to the homey vibe. The interior layout features a kitchen area with a huge sink and a 2-burner cooktop, as well as plenty of intelligent storage.
There’s also a neat foldaway table with a padded seat and a wet bath. What more could you ask for?!
Petty Prine the Promaster
Brooke Alexander has been living in her Promaster Campervan for four years with her dog. Her van has a gorgeous layout with a fixed platform bed, bench seat with swivel table, tiny kitchen and lots of surfaces for working remotely and preparing food. I love the dinosaur motif inside her Promaster camper.
Brooke’s van has been all over the United States and has toured Baja several times. It’s a great adventure van.
