ZEN VAN - Custom Luxury Boho RAM ProMaster High Roof

Seller's Description

Price dropped!!! Title in hand. --STORY From conception to completion, and two and a half years in the making, Zen Van is the product of one detail-obsessed artist, (with occasional help from his friends), a vision for a road-home as cozy as can be, and a nomadic journey that did not disappoint. I called this van home for the duration of its build, from rainy Seattle to sunny Southern California to the majestic mountains of Southern Oregon, I have slowly refined and implemented my vision for this craft…and I’d like to think I’ve taken a little bit (or a lot of bit!) of magic from everywhere I’ve cut a board or painted an edge or connected a fitting. This van brought me serendipitously to a 160 acre sprawl in Southern Oregon- where I completed the build- that was formerly a Buddhist monastery where monks would spend years in silent retreat. (Replete with a 30 foot Buddha statue in the woods!) I've woven the magic of reclaimed materials from this place into ZenVan, including making the bench back from the weathered wooden slats of a well loved dining table I imagine the monks must have used many, many years based on the deep, smooth and uneven wear patterns. Zen Van has so many more stories to tell...I’ve just gotten her warmed up for you. 💚 ⚙️ UNDER THE HOOD ✓ 3.0L EcoDiesel I4 Turbo ✓ MILEAGE: 98k ✓ VIN: 3C6TRVDDXFE511803 ✓ CONDITION: EXCELLENT 🚐 BODY ✔ Rust-Free.

ProMaster eco-diesel is best in it’s class! 🪵 MATERIALS • Baltic Birch 3/4” plywood • Bamboo • Reclaimed Cedar plank • Douglas Fir ☃️ 5-LAYER INSULATION One of the biggest hazards in van life, in my opinion, is the potential for mold growth inside the walls. I did a great deal of research to select materials that would serve to keep ZenVan's occupants both warm and healthy. 1: Sound Barrier (Kilmat 80mil butyl automotive sound deadener) 2: poly-iso foam board (floor, walls, ceiling and doors) sealed with spray foam. 3: sheep's wool (floor, walls, ceiling and doors) 4: Reflectix radiant heat retention liner with air gap (walls and ceiling) 5: thermal and sound insulating underlayment in floor (the majority of heat is lost through the floor and ceiling, having an added layer of insulation beneath your feet for both sound and warmth is always a good idea). 🍱 STRUCTURE Abundance of STORAGE intuitively built in. When you’re living or traveling in such a small space, every inch counts! The details are mostly self-evident in pictures. The luxuriously spacious closet with light and sock/underwear drawer is not yet pictured. 🍽️ KITCHEN: ✔ Butcher block countertop with fold-up extension for added counter/prep space. ✔ Stainless steel sink with inset cover and drying rack. ✔ Kraus 18-inch commercial dual-function pull-down spray head (handy for doing the dishes or swiveling around to shower yourself off outside!) ✔ Dometic 3-Burner propane stove and oven with turn-switch to ignite. ✔ Recessed/built-in spice rack for tall and short spice containers. ❄️ Large chest-style FRIDGE & FREEZER easily accessible on a slide out which is unlocked through a step lever. I love that this unit affords a dedicated compartment for freezer and you can choose which one depending on whether you want more space for freezer or for fridge. ✅ COMPONENTS LIST ✔ WINDOWS: CR Lawrence split pane dual vented window with screens. ✔ FRIDGE/FREEZER: Durable ICECO VL60- 60 liter dual zone fridge/freezer. ✔ STOVE/OVEN: Dometic propane 3 burner cook-top with oven and turn-switch to ignite. ✔ LIGHTING: Nothing makes a space cozier than being well lit. I chose warm, *dimmable* LED lighting to set the mood for any occasion. ✔ VENT FAN: Maxx Air 00-07500K MaxxFan Deluxe with remote control and thermostat (bi-directional so it can exhaust air out or pull air in) ✔ BED FAN: Built-in two-speed fan over the bed to keep the air moving on warm nights. ✔ AC OUTLETS: GFCI protected AC outlet in the kitchen with a second dual-option USB port outlet under the table. ✔ PHONE CHARGING: USB charging port built in at the back of the van for overnight phone charging while keeping it close. ✔ NIGHT LIGHT: Cozy overhead reading lamp over bed for winding down in the evenings, or getting up in the middle of the night. 🚰 UTILITIES ✔ 5.3 gallon flush pump toilet on locking track that slides out from under the bed when needed. (Note: I added toilet after taking first round of pictures so "garage" in pictures doesn't show the toilet) ✔ Easy access utility door (propane, gray water) outside of the kitchen’s lower cabinetry. ✔ PROPANE-SAFE BOX with quick-access door: If you wish to turn the propane off between uses for added safety, I’ve built a quick access door which can be reached from the inside of the van. Holds up to 10lbs of propane (comes with one 5lb tank) ✔ 5.5 gallon removable GRAY WATER TANK: Heavy duty under-sink BPA free jerry can to collect gray water can be removed with ease, cleaned and reinstalled. ✔ 21 gallon BPA FREE FRESH WATER TANK: Located in the “garage”, built into the wheel well box with a cutaway to easily check your water levels. Filled through an exterior, lockable water port. ✔ SEAFLO 55-PSI self-priming water pump that won't surge...smooth water flow even at a trickle. ⛑️ HEALTH & SAFETY ✔ Professionally inspected electrical system ✔ Extensive research to building materials and mold management. All structural wood treated with mold resistant paint and all insulation materials used are mold and mildew resistant. As mentioned above. ✔ Thorough water leak check to the van shell itself, with mitigation where needed prior to build. Including resealing of all roof seams. ✔ Propane-safe box for propane storage which vents through a hole in the floor to the outside so in the event of a leak propane will vent out of the van. ⚡️ ELECTRICAL SYSTEM I’ve designed this electrical system with a great deal of thoughtfulness for efficiency, ease of use, longevity, and ease of repair. 3-option charging system (solar, van battery, shore). You’ll never be without power. ✔ Victron Multi-plus 2000 Watt inverter/charger (with shore power bypass) ✔ 400 amp hours of lithium ion battery power. 2x Renogy 200ah Lithium Ion Smart Battery with Bluetooth ✔ 40 amp DC/DC charger ✔ 400W Sunpower Solar Panel on tiltable mount ✔ 40 amp MPPT solar charge control ✔ Battery Monitor built into kitchen cabinet ✔ Prewired for Wobasto diesel heater
