This van is amazing. It was designed for a couple to live and travel full time. There are no compromises.
We chose the gas Promaster so it would be capable of world travel (there is no ULSD and DEF is difficult to source south of Mexico).
Selling because I am building a large expedition truck. I'll do another van after the truck.
Let me know if you have questions. Forward to anyone who may be in the market. Van is located in San Diego, California.
