There are plenty of options available when researching the base van for your camper van conversion. Some highlights of the Ram ProMaster that you might want to consider when researching options for the base of your campervan are:

This is a significant advantage when converting it into a campervan, as it offers a large garage storage space and allows for a standard RV Queen Short mattress to fit perfectly in the back. Having a standard sized mattress removes the hassle of custom fitting a mattress or finding custom sized sheets.
- Front-Wheel Drive: The ProMaster is front-wheel-drive configuration. It offers great traction in slippery conditions, which can be important for off-road adventures.
- Tall Roof Options: The ProMaster comes with different roof heights, including a high roof option. All of the Berkshire Van Builds are designed for the high roof option. This extra vertical space allows for standing up to just over 6 feet, making it a more comfortable living area.
- Good Visibility: The ProMaster offers excellent visibility from the driver’s and passenger’s seat, which is important for safety and ease of driving, especially when navigating tight spaces or parking.
- Relatively Affordable: Compared to some other popular campervan base options, the ProMaster tends to be more affordable, both in terms of the initial purchase price and ongoing maintenance.
- Common Service: The commonality of the ProMaster engine offers some advantages should you have a need for service. The engine is used in various other makes and models of vehicles, so mechanical parts are widely available, which van make repairs and maintenance more convenient and potentially more cost-effective.
