Through trial and (lots of) error, we have finally come up with the perfect combination of livability, functionality, and comfort that you need when it comes to living in your camper van!
We are two humans, one 70 lb dog, and one 17 lb cat all living in our converted camper van and this is how we make it work!
The Camper Van
We have a 2018 Ram Promaster 136 WB. It is the shortest of all the promasters, which was not our first choice. We would have preferred the 139 WB, but life happens. BUT it turns out the 136 is not so bad! It is much stealthier than the longer version, and we still were able to fit all our “must have’s” within it.

Below is everything we have in our current van, and the best deal to get it!
