I have been saving money for the past year and I recently found this promaster with 148k miles and a rebuilt transmission.
I am not mechanically inclined so i was wondering if anyone more experienced can tell me if this has great potential to last a long time or if it is going to turn into a money pit for me. also wondering what to look for when I do decide to check it out.
155k miles - $15k OBO. Currently based in Minneapolis, MN. Negotiable on traveling to complete sale

All interior build work was completed by us. This bus is fully built out, and has been livable for us for over a year, but a couple notes:
- We homemade a rear Dutch double door, it likely needs a little bit of work, but we’re leaving that in case the next owner wants to permanently remove the door or has a different vision for the rear set up
- We have not finished the electrical setup. All components listed below are included and brand new, but we got by on the road with our Jackery and battery powered lighting that is included.
Electrical components (including Renogy 12V 200Ah lithium LiFePO4 battery, Renogy 1500W inverter, Renogy DC to DC charger, Blue Sea Systems 12 circuit fuse box and extra fuses, lithium battery charger, bus bars, port plug, Shurflo electric water pump, 12V 3.3 cubic ft fridge, fans, clear source RV water filter system) will come with the sale, none of them have been used, some are set up, many are still in box.
We bought this skoolie (named Tessie) in 2023, lovingly built her out, and drove her all around the country. We’re sad to see her go, but now that we aren’t full-time bus-lifers anymore we are planning to downsize to a small van. It’s important to us that she goes to a good owner who will love her the same way we have. She’s ready to be lived out of full time if you’re rushing to get out there, or also a canvas for you to make your own home and build out further before setting sail!
Reddit limited me to 20 photos. Happy to provide more, and some videos, if you are interested!

4x4, 5.7L HEMI V8, 8-Foot bed, 105,000 miles
Includes a Radical Moonlander X camper I purchased in September of 2025. the truck has been regularly maintained with all records saved as well as being recently inspected and is in excellent running condition.
the setup includes recently installed insulation foam, new tires, a custom built cabinet, locking storage, roof fan, DJI battery power station, bed, all purchased in the last three months.
I'll also include the carpeting to go over the insulation and all the mounting hardware I purchased for anyone looking to further customize the interior before finishing the walls.
I've got the title and only 100,000 miles on the truck as I was planning to live in this for the next 3-5 years but having to move last second into the city so have to get off the road. happy to have any conversation about price, negotiations, or questions. currently located in Wyoming, or Kentucky/West Virginia around the fall but can be really anywhere needed.
A solid van with low-wear mechanicals and plenty of life left. Professionally converted cargo van with insulated walls, cargo liner (textured, non-slip), rear passenger windows, and a rear bench seat. Would be a good base to build out further into a camper.
Seats five (two up front, three on the bench) — or remove the bench (no tools needed) to maximize cargo space.

Downsizing. I recently brought this van into a reputable mechanic for 30-point inspection and he states it is solid, and he wishes his father had seen this before he bought his van conversion. Mechanic recommended selling it for high teens, but the summer has slipped away from me so i know i missed the window for top dollar.
it has a new Jasper Engine at 156K miles. new tires at 152K miles. Other than that, it’s a fun and simple build (meaning no complicated systems for water or electric. just eco flow batteries, jugs of water and a porta potty.)
located in seattle in a beautiful quiet neighborhood, where you’re welcome to stay in our driveway for up to three days while you prep for your road trip home.

AWD, Preferably with upgraded suspension and all the electrical stuff with solar and battery, swivel captains chairs, dining area, storage under bed in back, retractable awning. Looks good inside, don't care about the outside. In fact a few dents are good as long as it's tip-top where it counts (no prior accidents). Got a couple very long road trips coming up next year, need something dependable. Obligatory picture included, but it doesn't mean anything in particular, just needed it to post.
