2019 Dodge Promaster

A spatially optimized 2020 Dodge Promaster conversion engineered by Bitterroot Builds for full-service living and urban agility.

OVERVIEW

The Wide-Body Urban Explorer


This 2020 Dodge Promaster was engineered to capitalize on the platform’s unique width and front-wheel-drive efficiency. Designed for the traveler who wants all the amenities of a large RV in a maneuverable van footprint, this build includes an indoor Vanwife shower and a complete kitchen suite. By utilizing the Promaster’s near-vertical sidewalls, we’ve maximized the interior volume to accommodate Custom Shiplap paneling and a high-capacity storage layout. It is a robust, 4-season sanctuary that remains agile enough for city streets while being fully equipped for remote trailheads.

Interior layout & Design
Maximum Volume and Coastal Sophistication

The interior architecture takes full advantage of the Promaster's wide chassis, allowing for a fixed rear bed and a spacious center aisle. The aesthetic is defined by a "modern coastal" feel, featuring Custom Shiplap paneling and a striking Butcher Block Waterfall Countertop. Underneath these premium Wilsonart laminate finishes is our signature 80/20 extruded aluminum frame, which is especially critical in the Promaster to provide structural rigidity and eliminate road noise. The inclusion of a passenger swivel seat and a dedicated kitchen galley creates a seamless flow between the driving, dining, and living zones.

Off-grid systems & mobility
Full-Suite Utility

Designed for the traveler who doesn't want to leave the kitchen behind, this rig features a microwave, a full-size 12V fridge, and a 2-burner propane stove. This suite is powered by a reliable 300Ah Lithium battery bank and a 2000/4000 watt pure sine wave inverter, with charging handled by 200 watts of solar and a 40amp DC-DC alternator charger. The water system is a standout, featuring a tankless on-demand water heater that services both the stainless steel sink and the indoor Vanwife shower, all supported by a 20-gallon fresh water tank engineered for off-grid self-sufficiency.
