Well that does it for Promaster, it looks like it will be a Transit body if I go with my own build.

That is my concern, I have a Dodge Journey that is the most comfortable vehicle on the planet BUT has issues that are not fixable. But I was not sure how the Transit weighs in for reliability.

Ah forgot about the towing. Not that I do a lot BUT..........

In my other thread I have been working out ideas for a cold weather unit. If I go with the build it myself idea I have it narrowed down to a 2016 / 2017, 2500 or 3500 model of either the Ford Transit or the Dodge Promaster. I would like a unit with some warranty but I don't think that I would...

Just saw this https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/calgary/2016-ram-promaster-3500-high-roof-backup-camera-bluetooth/1302882459?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true May be a good start, the insulation is done. I think I would take out the divider but it could also be cool to just cut a door in and...

Another one someone needs to buy before I do. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-travel-trailer-camper/edmonton/2003-e350-4x4-window-camper-van/1304444118?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Looked at your build and VERY impressive. Well thought out!! Thanks for the info.

They have a winter diesel but I am wanting to stay with gas for other reasons.

I would LOVE a wood stove or one of the non electric pellet stoves but I plan on using this as a work vehicle and I am afraid that a wood stove with the chimney sticking out the top would be a little red neck looking for my customers. Not something that would bother me but I think others would...

Herbie you have hit the nail on the head and what has been causing me to rethink this most. If I go with a Roadtrek/ Pleasureway I have a unit that is designed for the best possible weather and maybe a day or two of cool weather and that is it. So all the plumbing would be exposed and I would...

Forgot to mention that I am leaning towards gas over diesel for a number of reasons, not just the cold weather side of things.

Thanks everyone for the ideas, keep them coming. Vehicles do not have an issue with the cold if kept well maintained. I have never parked my vehicles inside so -20, -30, -40 is a daily thing some years around here (hopefully not his year :bike_rider: ) Plugging vehicles in is a good idea in...

Okay I think I have researched everything but thought I would toss this out there just in case I missed something. Anyone done any conversions for extreme cold? Looking for a all season vehicle and part of the seasons is the crazy cold. I have camped in my truck camper in the extreme weather...

Will check them out.

Sorry to hear that. My issue is that I cannot find anyone in Canada that even offers the tops, REALLY frustrating to want a van and not be able to get one.

I may be too late but... A number of years ago my oldest boy wanted to buy a product that was INSANELY priced. What it turned out to be was a nylon insert that he needed, he researched it and found that he could go to a dollar store and get a nylon cutting board and trim it down. Looks like...

Has anyone seen one of these in person? https://www.kijiji.ca/v-travel-trailer-camper/grande-prairie/all-new-carado-banff-camperized-van/1278230991?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true I would like one for year round use but understand that it probably falls short but was looking for any opinions...

I am not sure it is missing the usual scam wording "air conditioning blows cold air, heat blows hot air", "Engine in great shape and runs as it should" or my favorite "Everything is and works as should"

No it is not hard: Take the price of the vehicle + the cost of the extras added + the cost of doing the renos = your cost of production Then take the cost of production + what you think some sucker would pay = Asking price If it does not sell at that price you can drop it and still make a...

GREAT QUESTION!! I have been considering the same thing for 6 months or more. I have a great RV that I have everything in but I want a van to use daily and for shorter trips by myself when I am shooting. I thought a low roof would work then last weekend my son and I visited a dealer and I...
