I built myself a DIY camper van. Traveling with my better half and two dogs. We travel around in search cycling and dog adventures.
What is broken on our Dodge Promaster Camper Van conversion?
After many years and 100,000 miles of traveling let's recap everything that broke and needed fixing. We built out this van in the winter of 2018, here is the full van tour video: czcams.com/video/5ol8cEdLXGs/video.html

Off season Camping Lake Placid New York - Vans-giving in our DIY Camper Van.
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 3 lety
Off season / winter camping is the best. There are no crowds, no waiting and plenty of space. If you can handle the cold and your van is setup for winter camping, this is the best time to go. In this video we test a collapsable oven, show you some hacks when camping with dogs, and how to store bikes and skis inside a van.
These bikes weren't made for this. The luckiest Mountain Biker - it's time to give back.

I rarely leave comments. But I have been going down a rabbit hole of videos for "van life" and came across this one. Starts off hilarious, but you gotta add some more humor throughout the build process. I will steal some of your ideas like the foot pedal. I already thought of that myself and agree with you, it would conserve water. I am late to the game as always, but cheers for the build and the funny as hell humor. I hate you too. LOL.
Hi there bro. Moving next week to NYC. Gonna live in Harlem. I have my road bike here in homwcountry it is a TREK emonda ALR4. Here in my country I use the bike for exercise during weekdays and doing long distance during weekends (50-70kms) The main goal in NYC will commuting to job, but also will like to do some rides like the ones you do ! Do you recommend me to bring my bike with me or is it better if I just buy another one once in NYC. Any advice is truly appreciated.
Hi from Lac Beauport - this is a very good video. Nice overview - solid riding. You might enjoy a trip back in the winter - dead of winter - the fat biking is fantastic.
Can you SUV camp in camper van camp sites?
have you ever woken up and not banged your head on a cupboard xD?
Not sure what's happening this year, but last year the parks department of NYC said, "no stakes in ground" and that was a major factor in Keith not being able to put on this race which had quietly become quite a popular race!
Great mountain bike travel video. Beautifully shot, informative and fun!
Simply genius. Gorgeous with smart design decisions executed everywhere you look. Wow.
Согласен с вами. У нас это называется - выдержка.Прекрасные собаки!
wonderful application
Beautifully crafted & detailed build! I dig shorter vans.
This was a very informative, feel-good video about racing the CRCA series. Thank you for this! 1st race is this Sunday!
thank you.
Light materials but works very well
can you stagger the bikes diagonally \ so the handle bars of the lower bikes fall just behind the front wheel of the bike above it to gain the few precious inches?? here looking just to explore and expand knowledge on hanging bikes horizontally... I don't have clip-ons
Cool video man, I see you changing the camera angles and wondering if you have multiple cameras in the bike like during the race you had it facing backwards. I thought it was very cool to see the other bikers face expressions. Fun stuff! I would like to do it sometime.
Ah yes. The middle of the night. Where all the best ideas come to you. I gotta start keeping a notepad on the bedside table. Maybe then I'd get some sh!t done?
Great video. I am so glad you enjoyed riding on our lovely island. Thankyou for promoting Cyprus
loved it, can't wait to go again.
this is an awesome vid
A great build. 2 things are troublesome in my opinion, the height of bed, cannot sit straight in the bedroom. And the cabinets above your head, I’d hate to hit my head accidentally. It will also make it very claustrophobic.
Really nice clean build. Wondering what brand of seat swivel you used and if they were reasonably priced. Thanks
Thanks for the great video I built a very simple 2017 136" Promaster which I purchased in 2019 (32,000mi). Rear shocks just changed at 50k for $150. Been doing my own repairs since 1972 hate doing it now but, old habits are hard to break. E brake shoe came loose and raised hell with the hub this job will be a bear. I agree it's a great vehicle. Funny how a former Jersey guy can i.d. a New Yorker in the first 30 seconds of his video. Happy trails!
The generator/ inverter/ battery combo might allow you to power your home's oil burner during an electrical outage. The burner motor takes 25 amps for a second then drops way down but the generator usually pops its breaker. Having the battery in the mix should buffer that. Generator is there just to charge the battery then. Could stave off frozen pipes. Hopefully you have gas heat. So that generator should come in handy. Alone it might fail to run an oil burner.
wheel bearing dude. Focus on suspension and wearing parts. Forget the electrical, that's easy
Thanks for doing this. Mine had 50,000 but I'll keep any eye out on the shocks. I'm good at regular maintenance and expect some stuff to go wrong as the mileage climbs. I really enjoy our videos. My wife and I do a lot of canoeing and use an Ebike for shuttles, I try to find an outlet to charge it.
awesome, thank you for the feedback. Happy to hear that my videos make it all the ways to you. Cheers and happy canoeing :)
At least you got 100,000 mine did that at 40,000 Right now I'm at 68,000 still haven't fixed it
Most Dodge vans, SUVs are junk have owned a couple and I have worked on several, junk,junk,junk!!! Wouldn't trust one on a road trip or for sure a camping trip with my family!!!! Think not!! Just saying!! Experience with them IDE think twice friends
Thanks for the warning!
I’m glad you made this! I’ve always wondered how the ProMaster holds up with the miles, FCA didn’t have the best record when it came to reliability but I’m happy to hear you’ve been lucky! Also good on getting the Genny, something like that is so versatile. More adventures please!!!! 😊
So cuuuuute 💕😊
Little boo
Are you able to give me feedback of how your propane heater has worked? like it, love it? would do anything different? I also live in Colorado, and somewhat concerned about performance at high altitude, much appreciated, Scott

Last year I thought maybe I should get a new van instead of a new car as I hate all the screens and electronics they stuff into cars. The vans turn out to be way more $$$ than expected. Vans used to be dirt cheap. Yea, I'm older than you. Pickup trucks used to be cheap too. So I bought nothing.
currently everything is out of wack as far as prices goes, (because of the plague????) I was just saying that having one vehicle instead of an extra recreational vehicle saves money in the long run. Good luck Van hunting, prices may come down if the economy and housing keep falling apart. Cheers :)
@@VanToBike actually my interest in a van was for regular life. Being 68 I have to pee all the time so a bucket out pack would be a time saving convenience but not worth $35K. What's the preferred van dodge or Ford?
Super good point! And your speaking from experience too. Thank you.
yup, I loved all the RV's I ever owned. Unfortunely they loose their value too quickly and sit around too much. Vans are daBomb :)
It is really smart to post this video. Way too many people do not understand winterizing on these types of vehicles
thank you.
Little Peppa!!
Awesome good training
Thank you, I had some help from the Upstate Canine Academy
So fun !! Nice job jurgen!’
Thanks, I just made your Babagenoush 😜 for dinner
Why not put the link to buy your product here...
Whats Dyi? Never heard of that!
No 👍? Lol
I just purchased 3 of these racks and the installation was very easy after watching your video. Anybody consdering buying one of these racks will not be disappointed. They are a well made product and you will realize this once you hold one in your hand. Sure there might be a "cheaper" option, but at the end of the day you will not regret buying this system.
The first one where you hook the pedal, will it not cause any issues on my crank and the pedal itself?
not at all. Pedals and cranks are design to carry a persons weight. The bikes weight is way too low to make any kind of problems. Hope this helps.
how I can find your product?
it's all on my website www.dahanger.co thanks
Wer so ne coole Mütze hat, braucht keine Standheizung... ;-)

What a great video! I was planning on a cycling trip to Cyprus and you made the planning 10 times easier. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Good job and will thought and cleaver design . I give 5 ⭐️
I need someone to install it
