Welcome to the VanMargrit Promaster build and travel blog
We are two empty-nesters who took the plunge and found a Ram Promaster 3500-ext cargo van ready for a camper conversion. Margrit will be a fully-contained weekend (and longer) travel camper as we explore all of the places we have never been to our Pacific Northwest backyard and beyond.
This site will feature our build process with tutorials and product reviews of items that we have found to be helpful (or not) along the way. Then... it's travel time!
Removing the OEM floor from a Ram ProMaster
Adding Hella Micro DE Halogen Projector Fog Lights to a Ram ProMaster

In my world, a proper fog light must:1) have a sharp cutoff: lots of light below a line, very little above2) be mounted as reasonably low as it can be3) be able to be on without the normal headlights or running lights4) have yellow light (yes, I know this is old think) After wandering around southern Washington on a night of alternating fog and snow, I was quite frustrated at how useless the OEM fog lights of the Promaster were. Some years ago, we put some Hella Micro DE Halogen Projector Fog Lights on our 1975 Super Beetle project. Details…

Installing Arm Rests

We wanted armrests on the front seats of our new Promaster. I have a glitchy back, and I really like being able to support my back a bit on the armrests when driving. The driver seat has a right-side armrest, but the left side “armrest’ is built into the door and about a mile and a half away from my elbow. The passenger seat does not have any armrests at all.
