Cutting holes in your van can be super intimidating but it wasn't nearly as hard with our second van! We installed our Maxxair roof vent fan and our Van Windows Direct bunk window, in just a few hours, over the course of two days.

Before cutting any holes in your van, we HIGHLY recommend checking out the Promaster Body Builders Guide as it will tell you what you can and cannot modify: https://tinyurl.com/bdnadecs

Are we crazy for buying a van without a working transmission? We explain why we purchased a Promaster High Top van to convert and why we ended up with this van in particular. We talk van build budget and the differences between this van and our first van build.
