He Built a Luxury Campervan for $8,000? IT HAS EVERYTHING!

Video Description

This DIY Campervan Puts $100,000 RVs to Shame (Budget Build Tour) This $8,000 DIY RAM ProMaster campervan conversion proves you don't need a six-figure budget to build a luxury RV. This incredible van seats three, sleeps three, and features a full-size indoor shower! On this episode of New Jersey's Outdoor Adventures, Patrick meets up with Dwayne, a builder with a background in flooring and stone fabrication, who used his skills to create a stunning and practical campervan on a jaw-dropping budget. Dwayne gives us a full tour of his 159" RAM ProMaster, which he designed for travel and visiting family, not full-time living. He prioritized a comfortable bed and a spacious shower, and the results are genius. This DIY van build is packed with high-end features you'd never expect at this price point.
