A 2021 Ram ProMaster 2500 high-roof van with 51,593 miles on the odometer sits listed for $79,000 in Huntington Beach, California. One person at Campervans by Leo handled the full conversion, turning the stock gasoline chassis into a closed living space finished with white tongue and groove ceiling boards, white laminated cabinetry, beige walls, and wood-imitating vinyl plank flooring.
A wall with a towering arched door separates the cab from the main cabin, and a headlining shelf hangs above the aperture. White square tiles make the backsplash. Amber touches occur throughout. Butcher block counters are located above cabinets, and numerous LED zones give adjustable lighting throughout the ceiling and under-cabinet regions. The façade is practically stock, with the exception of a 600-watt solar array on the roof. An indoor shower tucked away in one corner behind a sliding door is intelligently built to keep water contained, while a handheld showerhead controls the flow. Vertically set gray stone tiles complete the style, which blends seamlessly with the surrounding finishes.

The kitchen takes up two facing units. On one side, you’ll find a deep stainless steel sink, a microwave, and a two-burner induction cooktop, providing lots of cooking possibilities. There is also a flip-up table that extends the counter area when needed. Below this, there are several drawers, a cutlery drawer, and a bottom cabinet under the sink for keeping items close at hand. That shoe cabinet front and center is also a brilliant detail; simply slide it open to reveal an outdoor sprayer for cleaning away sand or dust. Right opposite is another floor-to-ceiling unit with all of the necessities for a kitchen: two drawers, a cabinet, a small fridge with a freezer, a tall pantry, and a large wardrobe separated by two sliding doors.
A U-shaped couch can sit up to 5 people during the day due to its large dimensions, and at nite it converts quite easily into a full-size bed once the bedding is attached. The television is hung on the wall, and a PlayStation 5 is connected to it via starlink for a reliable internet connection. Two reading lights ensure that you can see what you’re doing in the evenings, and four overhead cupboards, an air conditioning unit on the ceiling, and a huge curtain to keep the view private at nite help to complete the living space.
A 560 amp-hour LiFePO4 battery bank, along with a 3,000 watt inverter, powers all of the lights and electronics. You can supplement the power with solar panels, connect to shore power, or obtain some more juice from the alternator. There is also a 40-gallon freshwater tank and a 36-gallon graywater tank. They’ve also included a reverse-osmosis water filter in the Waterdrop system to keep drinking water fresh. If you need some extra heat, a gas unit may provide both hot air and hot water. The vents for that are located in the driver’s side couch. A Maxxair fan, some 3M Thinsulate insulation, and a sound deadening kit to keep things quiet inside, while a small garage behind the rear bench is useful for keeping all of your travel goods.
