Beloved 2017 Ram Promaster 2500 High Roof 159"

Seller's Description

Sending off my beloved van off to have new adventures. I built her myself from scratch to live in full-time for at least 5 years. By which I mean, I spent the extra time, energy, and money to make her *really nice* and make her feel like a tiny, cozy apartment. Asking $60,000 or best offer. I'm flexible for the right person. She's got two "rooms" - you can walk all the way through her - and you don't have to fold in half or climb over anything to live your life. All her storage is easily accessible from the inside. She’s got a full size bed and a daybed (awesome for parents), a dog bed, 20 gal each of fresh and graywater, a propane cooktop, a fridge, sink, cassette toilet, office desk, bookshelf, bluetooth speakers, solar, twin batteries, a water heater, cassette toilet, power inverter, vent fan, skylight… I built her to last. She’s no cookie-cutter, cheap and trendy, kit-built rig with subway tile. She won’t fall apart the first time you go over a PNW pothole. She won’t melt in the rain. She’s got marine-grade wiring and waterproof connections, so road vibration and temperature fluctuations won’t lead to loose wires. Every metal-wood connection has silicone gaskets to keep squeaks to a minimum. And I built this van to be SERVICEABLE - I used screws, not glue or nail guns, to put her together. You can remove entire walls and cabinets if you need to get to her guts - with minimal swearing and busted knuckles. I knew I’d be the one turning the wrenches through the years, so I did it right. On that note - I’ve got a folder of manuals for every appliance. I hand-wrote myself a van manual that has all the build details down to the thread pitch of every bolt, because I knew I wouldn’t remember for future fixes, but I’d be so grateful I wrote it down! You get *all* this info! You also get me - I’m happy to be a resource if you have any questions. I also had all the maintenance done, at all the factory-recommended intervals. She’s due for an oil change, but I’ve got the number of a local mechanic that’s done her maintenance for years. Heat blows HOT, AC blows COLD. Engine purrs like a lil kitten. I want to sell this van to someone that will take her out on the road again and send me a photo every once in a while. I’d keep her if I was going to keep traveling, but I’m planted in Portland and I’d rather someone else is out enjoying her.
