Hi, we are Sofia and Dennis. We live in Russia and Italy, but every year we come to the USA to travel.
This year we built a van to improve our journey, exploring the beautiful nature of the USA.
Welcome in! We designed the van in bright and warm colors with a wooden ceiling and walls
painted in white to feel more spacious. This is our dining room. This table is a perfect spot to
eat and work on a laptop with a beautiful view from the window. The window can open to let in
fresh air and sunlight. There is a shelf built to hold plants and candles that don't fall while
driving. The driver's seat is equipped with a swivel, so this table is perfect for two.
We love to cook, so we set up a good-sized kitchen. We have a two-burner induction stove,
big sink with hot water faucet that can be extended to run water outside to clean your
hiking gear or shoes before you get into the van. We installed a beautiful hexagonal tile
backsplash that's easy to clean and plenty of butcher block counter space. In the cabinets,
you can find everything from your home kitchen. In the drawers, we have cutlery, cooking supplies,
cutting boards, etc. In this cabinet, we have all pots, frying pans, an Italian coffee maker,
and space for food. Under the sink, we have two separate garbage cans, all cleaning supplies,
and hooks on the doors to dry towels. One of our favorite features of the van is a giant standing
height refrigerator. There is enough space to store food for up to one week, and we have these
beautiful hexagonal mirrors that we use for putting on makeup and getting dressed. Our bed
has a full-size memory foam mattress, big enough for tall people as well. The bed is built with
insets to extend the length to six feet four inches. We use the upper cabinets for storing
clothes, very easy to access. We use the drawer and cabinet below for electronic devices, toiletries,
and cosmetics. Under the bed, there is access to the garage where we have a laundry bag and more
storage. You can use this door to carry long equipment in the garage like a surfboard or even
a kayak. Under the fridge, we have a tiny wardrobe for shirts and jackets. Above the fridge, there is
a shelf for towels. We use these two wooden hooks to dry the towels. There is one more hidden storage
under the table for wine, juices, and canned food. And above the car seats, there is a big shelf for
other clothes and anything you want to be easily accessible. Our van has a shower. We take a shower
every day and can't imagine not having it in the van. It will make your van life as comfortable as
living in a house. The shower cabinet has a roll-up door and a wooden pallet. The innovative shower
head uses just 0.4 gallons per minute and makes every hot shower a delight. The bath rug is held
up comfortably with velcro to dry and is easily accessible whenever you need it. To prevent the
toilet from interfering with taking a shower, we hid it behind this door. This is another feature of
our van that we love. Usually, you have to remove a heavy toilet from the shower cabinet to take a
shower. We decided it would be better to pull out the toilet when you need it and to put away easily
when you don't. Tiny but separate toilet works without water. It is equipped with two containers
and a ventilation system that prevents unpleasant odors. It costs over a thousand dollars and we love
it. Toilet paper is conveniently attached to the door. The van is equipped with a max air fan with
remote control and 10 speeds that allow air to enter and exit. Thanks to the correct placement
of the fan and the sliding windows on the back door and in the dining area, the room is well
ventilated creating a pleasant breeze. Moreover, we use the fan as an exhaust hood while we cook.
In order to ensure a comfortable temperature inside the van when it gets cold,
we installed a diesel heater with remote control that makes traveling cozy even in the winter.
Our light system is controlled by a wireless remote controller. It has three separate zones.
You can change multiple colors, dimming, turning one zone on or off, or all zones together with
one button. Also, there are tiny ferry lights that are connected to USB sockets. Sockets are located
in the dining area, kitchen, bed, and garage. Every location has two powerful USB and type C sockets
and two 110 volts outlets. So it is more than enough to charge all laptops, smartphones, cameras,
and other devices simultaneously. Welcome to the garage. It has plenty of space to carry our two
mountain bikes, camping gear, barbecue, etc. It has a water tank and electrical system behind the
retractable wall. Our electrical system is self-sufficient. We have 420 watts of solar power
connected to the MPTT controller. It can fully charge our 200 amp hour lithium ion phosphate
battery on sunny days. There is a DC to DC charger to charge the battery while we are driving.
We have a 2200 watt inverter that powers the induction stove, water heater, and 110 volt
outlets. Every device has switches so you can easily turn them on and off, and the battery has
a main power switch as well. Between the wardrobe and the fridge, there is an MPPT controller remote
screen, Victron battery monitor screen, and inverter remote power switch, and there are switches for
water pump, etc. A switch at the backsplash is used to turn on either the induction stove or
the water heater to prevent them from working simultaneously and not overload the electrical
system. We like this electrical system and have never been out of power while traveling.
Let's talk about water. We have a 30 gallon fresh water tank and a 20 gallon gray water tank.
It is easy to connect any hose to refill the water. There is a vent hose that also works as an
overflow hose so you will never be flooded. The 2.5 gallon water heater by Bosch is hidden in the
wardrobe next to the shower. That is perfect for a long hot shower. Usually the water lasts three
to four days with showering every day for both of us and washing dishes after every meal. The Ram
ProMaster 3500 with a high extended roof is powered by a 3.6 liter engine. The large ground clearance
allows you to drive off-road. We love wildlife and have never had a problem getting anywhere in this
van. You'll be able to drive it almost everywhere. There is a rear view camera in the driver's mirror.
Another wide angle camera is used when the van is in reverse. The van has parking and blind spot
assistance and an anti-theft alarm system. For safety we installed a carbon monoxide detector
above the bed. On the roof of the van we installed a deck made of premium composite board that lasts
forever. It's easy to climb up to the roof using the stairs located on the left side of the van.
This rooftop terrace is a perfect spot to see sunsets and look at the starry sky.
We are selling this van with every piece of equipment we have including all the kitchen
supplies, mosquito nets, window covers, mattress, pillows, blackout curtains, etc.
So you won't have to spend thousands of dollars and many weeks researching what to buy.
You'll have everything you need to start your adventure today. Remember buying a van you're
not just getting a motorhome. You buy an adventure, a lifestyle, a vibe of freedom
that brings you to a completely new level of life.
