Hello! Great job. I would like to know where you got the materials for the cabinetry. Upper cabinets that fit a Promaster do not seem to exist; you have to self-build them. Yours are great.
We shower outside with shower bag, and use campground, national parks, and others for toiletry facilities. We use a 5 dollar urinal and empty when we get to a gas station. Dealing with Grey, black and winterizing water tanks is a huge PITA.
They're called plus nuts or RIV nuts.

For the batteries, it's recommended to cross-wire the cables. Positive from battery 1, and negative from battery 2. This compensates for cables losses and makes sure both batteries are evenly used. In your setup, I see both + and - to the same battery. This might result in more load to this battery, and not to the second one. I'd recommend moving 1 of the 2 cables to the second battery so they are crosswired.
Not 100% sure what you're recommending, the wiring I have implemented (parallel) keeps the voltage at 12 volts and adds the amperage together ( 200 amps hours) Cross wiring in series would double the voltage and keep the amp hours available at 100amps.
Yay... another Brown in Albuquerque. Nice job on the build project!
Really nice and simple. Can’t wait to see you when it’s all finished.
Wow, very nicely done. It may look simple but it looks solidly built with lots of thought and time.
Thank you very much!
Where do you get swivel seats ?
Nice!
Beautiful build..we have no side windows either on our PM.
You did a beautiful job🌟💫 And I love your snap latches, do you remember where you got them?

Self built, in fact all the interior is hand made. I don't know of anyone that has kits remade
I made it

How did you attach the cleat to the side of the van for your bed framing? I’m looking to do the same style for a lightweight bed.

Awesome conversion with high quality components but simple?! Great job nonetheless.
Cant argue, with that. I guess I think mine is simple, compared with the instagram vans that look more like apartments.

Where's the toilet/shower?
Nobody shits in their van
@@TrailstoSails And nobody shits on their boat. 😆
I think your BB Batteries are 200Ah total, not each.
You are correct. 2 batteries 100 amp hours each.
Where did you get the rear door ladder?
Prime Design Ladder. I’ve got a video reviewing that ladder. It’s held very well, had in van for more than 3 years now.
nice work, terrible video
I failed 7th grade art class, not surprised. 😂
