Today, we’re installing a Propex HS2000 heater in our ProMaster Van. Once the van conversion is complete and we begin traveling this fall and winter, we’ll be glad we have it.

We’re Matt and Kristina, and we’re converting our ProMaster Van into a part-time home for us and our dogs so that we can take our off-grid lifestyle on the road. As a professional builder and engineer, we’re taking care to make our van conversion as sustainable as possible. We’re installing a very efficient Propex HS 2000 heater and making sure that all of our finishes in the van are non-toxic, and safe for us and the environment.
