    2014 RAM Promaster 2500 - Van Conversion - 4 Season Ready - $42k USD

    That is certainly an interesting destination. I'd have to ask the wife and it wouldn't be in September/October, but I know we would entertain the last trip we do in this being a Rocky Mountain road trip.

    2014 RAM Promaster 2500 - Van Conversion - 4 Season Ready - $42k USD

    Hello all, Essentially my wife and I built out a Promaster for the Pan-American Highway after doing the Calgary to Alaska portion in a second Gen Tacoma with RTT. This van has been absolutely incredible to us over the past 1.5 years, and it truly sucks to have our Pan-Am dream killed by Covid...

    Mounted For Adventure's Build Thread - Patagonia Or Bust!

    Step 8.2 Finish Plywood Walls Leah finished up the back doors and the passenger sliding door. Feels much nicer to be in a "finished" environment than a industrial metal van. Don't have a great picture of the passenger door, but you can see it's in. https://photos.app.goo.gl/hvTEwBC6aDWxL2av8...

    Mounted For Adventure's Build Thread - Patagonia Or Bust!

    I'm looking for a review of my electrical schematic. The WF-8945 is supposed to be able to charge my batteries off of the 120V, and also be the fuse panel for my loads. So hopefully the attachment works and can also be used as a reference for future builds. Notes: I need to include manual...

    Step 9 Attach the Roof Rack There is a thread on this forum of a guy that built a low profile unistrut roof rack for his solar panels. I copied that build, and I'd say it worked 90% perfectly. I bought 10' of rail, and the front and rear feet are about 11' maybe 12' apart. But I just slid it...

    Step 8.1 Continue Sheeting Plywood Walls Leah and I got the rear passenger wall up yesterday. Early night, made it to bed before 1am haha. Use the cross nuts ("screw-to-intstall rivet nuts") 90186A213 for holding up plywood is a great removable system. DO NOT use the 6-32 size, they are simply...

    Step 7.5 Realize Your Bed Frame Is A Bit Too High After we put the bed frame in place we figured out that it could go down an inch or two. https://photos.app.goo.gl/semDNvRD6m9GJGG89 After looking at options, I've even put the bed frame into a FEA study to see deflection of 2x6s vs 2x4s.

    Mounted For Adventure's Build Thread - Patagonia Or Bust!

    From the Promaster forum: I would say we're working on it 4/7 days in a week. The last two night in a row have been 2am (which sucks for work the next day!). I've been working on a bed design with my dad, and to be honest it's all the little things, like it took me 45 minutes to remove all the...

    Step 4 Cut A Hole In Your Van Well as everyone who has done it knows, the first cut is the deepest. Bought the Maxxair 7500k and prepared to install it. I found this video the most useful and followed it: Painters tape and shop towels all around the top in order to catch most of the shavings...

    Mounted For Adventure's Build Thread - Patagonia Or Bust!

    Hey guys and gals, I've lurked enough on here now that I feel a build thread is appropriate. The goal of this thread is to simply document what we did, if it worked, if it didn't and document for myself things to remember as I progress. Also, we have a website and an instagram page...

    2WD in Snow - Need advice

    I was surprised I had to get to page two to see a shovel. I've lived in canada my whole life, and if you have a shovel you can be saved often. Like many have said, use momentum! Even if its slow, you're still moving. No need for wheel spin. If you do get stuck: Rock back and forth without...

    USA-CAN-USA, July 2017 (16 US states and 4 Canadian provinces)

    Hey Calgarian here, lived in Lake Louise for a summer. HUUUGE recommendation I would make is take highway 93 between Banff and Jasper. A) no backtracking after moraine lake (mandatory stop) B) stunning highway with glaciers and mountains and wildlife. Google says the other way is an hour...
