I'm not sure how much money to budget for the build, but for the van, I'm thinking it will run me somewhere along 15K-20K. The advantage of having a Ram ProMaster City over the high top is that I can use it as my daily commuter. I wouldn't need an extra vehicle to get to and from work or go through the Starbucks drive-thru. Saving money on no...
