I bought a new 2018 ram promaster 2500 and started to convert it to camper van and the reason i got the promaster is exactly the reasons you mention.
I looked at all the pros and cons of all of the vans and to me promaster was the winner its not perfect but it fits my needs.
Great video like always but miss Allie.
Take Care

I have no idea why I watched this whole video. I’m not buying a van. I’m not living in a van. Could. Not. Stop. Watching.

4:49 Mercedes Talk; 8:12 Transit talk; 10:55 Promaster talk. FWIW, I am 5'4" and can stand up in an unbuilt low top Promaster and, were it not for my tall hubby, I'd be rolling in one of those for the fuel economy....on balance, I'm happy with the 'trade-off'.

Bought one of the first Promasters in the US in 2014 and it has never let me down. For a long time, I was the only PM on the road.

What little I know about vans I've learned from you. You're always articulate and clear, easy to understand. Well done. Again.

[TeaAndCroissants]

This was so informative wow. As someone who is looking to get into Vanlife I'm really grateful that you put all of this information in one place for me in a very straightforward manner. This will definitely help as I look into which van will best suit my needs, thank you!

[elizagaskell]

Some great information but I wish you had shown some pictures of the vans you are describing.

[parepidemosproductions]

Thank you for being our one stop shop for all of this. It's a pain but necessary task to decide which features of what each type of van are and how they do or do not meet one's needs. You save us so much leg work.

Oh man we were just about to go and look at the Sprinter this afternoon as we want to build this winter, but after watching your video, you brought up some amazing points. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Love our Promaster 3500 RV. One thing with all of them is that regular dealerships that don’t have a hoist that can lift these things hate working on them. Make sure you have a network of dealers with hoists.

Trent researches tons of info, Trent gathers aforementioned info, puts info into excellent comparison video in one take that actually wears him out. Trent answers comments which are all “We miss Allie!”
Thanks Trent great informative video especially w/o Allie being there😂

[adriannepope]

This was so helpful! I'm slowly working toward van life after I graduate, and this definitely helped highlight the difference between the vans. Thank you!

[alfriedar]

I was pretty dead set on a sprinter Mercedes class but you made some very valid points about cost of repair

[BEAdventurePartners]

Holy smokes! Thanks for all the dirty deets! Sure gave us a new perspective. Promaster sounds pretty good. It's gonna be a hard pick to be honest. The Pro looks pretty cool. We hadn't looked into it yet. This whole vanlife idea is only a week or so old for us, but we are seriously obsessed now. SO thank you for all this info. We really appreciate it & will keep you posted what we go with! - Erin + Brian

I went the route of an older class B. 2005 Roadtrek with low miles... for me definitely the right decision...
Great vid

Just a note on historical accuracy, the Ford Transit has been manufactured by Ford since 1965, it is the grandfather. The Sprinter was first produced by Daimler Benz (Mercedes) in 1995 as a counter to the Transit

[RainaTeachings]

Thank you so much! You answered exactly the right questions I had. I watched like 10 other videos and yours is the only one that gave such great info. Pro-master it is!

[lalylunssporadicchronicles]

I already have since this August Im the happy owner of a Dodge Ram Promaster 2018 - 1500 - 136 wb and I love it. I started slowly converting it, 2weeks ago I found a cabinet maker to make the furniture. I’m looking foward to start living in it. I love your vlogs they are always interesting and fun Thanks Nat

[tacotone]

I've been agonizing for awhile which one I wanted to get. Always figured Sprinters were the way to go, but I think I've settled on the Promaster. Thanks for the video!

[sheilabishop]

Lots of great information...I know more about vans because of you! Thanks for that..Had no idea there was so much available.
