In a world with endless possibilities and countless people to manifest them all, it can be pretty hard to create something that stands out. Well, a recent video released by New Jersey Outdoor Adventures features Anthony, the proud builder and owner of what we see before us, taking us on a tour of what might be one of the coolest custom Promasters ever.
Guys, I admit, the video at the bottom of this article is quite long, but once you get absorbed in this unique build, you'll see that time flies. Why? Well, it's because there's so much to talk about; after all, juicy builds like these require a lot of time, energy, and money.
Now, Anthony is a camper builder who has been to New Jersey Outdoor Adventures before. Last time, he showed off a creation inspired by an English cottage that looked like it was pulled from a fairy tale; he couldn’t have created anything more magical, right? Wrong, because here we are, looking at what I consider to be one of the most unique, feature-packed, and impeccable camper design projects I’ve seen in a while.

Overall, it all starts with a Ram Promaster 3500 Extended; yes, the extra space was absolutely necessary and one of the main reasons this unit doesn’t feel cramped is that it still includes a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and living room.
How is this possible? First, Anthony designed the “Hobbit Van” with a Murphy bed layout. If you’re familiar with this type of bed style, you’ll know that it’s one of the hottest trends, as it should be. With the ability to hide away during the day, free up valuable space inside your units, and then transform your campers into huge bedrooms at night, Murphy beds are no surprise. They’re gaining huge popularity in the RV world, and even big brands are jumping on board with the trend.
Well, in addition to the Murphy bed, Anthony also includes another single bed near the sliding door, where a third person can enjoy a restful night. If you are a family on the go, this kind of feature is a nice way to expand your sleeping space.

One side of the construction story includes the materials used to make a modular unit. At the beginning of the video, Anthony mentions that walnut and sapele are the most common construction materials found in this unit. Some oak does join in, but only as a few panels here and there.
As for some of the features the living room/bedroom has in store, we find a Tiffany lamp hanging outside the camper, which illuminates a small patio area with a table, the passage to the cabin, decorated like a medieval door, only smaller, and that inlay of live flowers captured in resin and lit up to give a wonderful glow to the interior. Warm lighting is key in this camper. Be sure to check out the amazing underside of the Murphy bed, which is one of the walls during daily activities. While this area has countless artisanal details, the rest of the unit also demands our attention.
As we head toward the back, Anthony also mentions that the kitchen is one of his favorite places in these units; so, this one has been decked out to the hilt with functionality, storage, and all the nice design touches that result in what we see. Frankly, it’s not often you find such a unique space in an RV. Be sure to check out the spice rack and oven setup, too, if only for inspiration.

Last but not least, Anthony takes us on a quick tour of the bathroom, a space that, frankly, looks nothing like any camper you’ve ever been in. It’s not just the wallpaper and the slightly Victorian feel of the space, but also the way Anthony designed the whole thing.
Like, when you walk into the space, you're already standing on the shower tiles, so go ahead and spray water everywhere. Heck, you're having a real shower; the hose and head are just cold on the wall. Oh, and that brushed metal look works!
As for the toilet, it’s tucked neatly behind one of the partitions and accessible by simply sliding it out and sitting down. For fun, take a moment to imagine waking up, swinging open the back doors, and doing your morning business while looking out over the valley below. Now that’s a solid way to meditate; no pun intended. Once you’re done with your morning duties, flush the toilet again, wash up, and grab whatever you might have stored in the closet.
Last but not least, this one is up for grabs folks, if it isn't already gone. With over 144K views in just a few days, the chances of it still being available might be pretty slim. You'll never know until you contact Anthony or Patrick, the channel host.
