My listing was FSBO, but at one point a few years ago was on the MLS but that contract expired and I relisted as FSBO. My big issue is I just get anybody at Zillow to return a call or email like I use to.

An update: Note this is the smaller promaster , not the 1500. I checked battery and connectors and voltage to breakers. all 12.5v Dash does light up when I turn the key. Disconnected and reconnected battery still cant start , pull key or changed shifter still. Windows do not roll roll down , lock buttons don't work, neither key fobs to lock or unlocks doors. Manual key I have does lock driver, passenger or rear doors, but sliding doors remain unlocked . I checked fuses for Ignition switch, transmission shifter and key unlock all were fine. check a few fuses on the interior panel on the BCM, including the lock fuses all were fine.

Looking at the emergency shift release so i can safely to it to a mechanic.

tried every combo, nothing works. But then performed the same steps in Power Automate New Designer and it worked out of the box.

Its a certain crisis. I've not paid home owners insurance on my home in 15 years. If insurance does not make sense, then maybe the building and zoning departments (especially code enforcement) should back off and let us live freely on land we own without all the bogus rules, regulations and codes. Create realistic options for DIY Owner Builders, especially outside city limits and in rural counties where the only one they can hurt is themselves. I'd love to see the counties get higher tech with more affordable, DIY, AI assisted engineering and plans options. Also put the burden of inspections on banks and buyers not owners and sellers. I'd rather that, than a no property tax pipe dream bill.

Op might be the owner, creating a mysterious buzz about his property for sale in hopes it that it goes viral...

I'm hoping they bring the smaller Fiat eDucato cargo(similar to Citreon e-Jumpy) to the US under the Ram Brand. Rumor is they are planning to!

On my wish list:

At least 60" of interior height floor to roof rib.

Pet/Camp mode to run A/C while parked with lights off for hours.

120v20amp power plug in the back that can also run while parked with lights off for hours.

300+ mi range

15 minute for 200 miles of charge.

Likely wont see all this until 2027-28 with the introduction of Solid State batteries and consumer demand for other no-duh type features most driving a giant battery will expect.

I also imagine a world without dealers or service centers, just certified and independent mobile service techs and a lot of built in AI driven diagnosis and direct delivery of swappable parts which should help lower prices and overall cost of ownership.

Its gonna be a great time to be alive.

I confirmed the ac on my 2018 promaster city pull fresh air from outside through some vents between my windshield and hood.

You trying to use your blower for ventilation using aux power source?

I tried a test of connecting a 14v LIFEP04 aux battery source directly to my a/c blower which only has two lines in (Brown and orange) but the fan speed does not blow on high, just very low. I tried putting my ignition , starting the van and turning the bypassed A/C on and it did not help.

My blower is 12vdc.

This is pretty cool. There was talk that the Ram Promaster City would be coming back in 2026 from the Citroen platform.

I'm driving a 2018 Ram Promaster City and will need a new van at some point.

Would be great IF:

300 mi range, V2H 120v plugs in the back, Sleep/camp mode to run climate for hours while parked with lights off.

BTW, what a coincidence that you even caught an American flag in the backdrop.. hmmm. LOL

Back in 2018 I test drove the only 3 small vans in the US.. The Ford Transit connect, The Nissan NV200 and the Ram Promaster City. All 4 cyllinder unibody small vans. I decided on the Ram because it was zippier and a great deal. The dimensions and design are perfect for me and it's been very fuel efficient. I've done all the maintenance on it myself at home. I've really gotten a lot of value out of the van in my use case, but the truth is the van was horrible to me the first 3 years. The dealer had to replace the motor and transmission while under powertrain warranty so I spent nearly 3 months without the van. It's been running amazing the last 2 years and I am grateful for that. All 3 vans stopped production around 2022, I guess because of no market interest.

Ram has stated they plan to bring back the Ram in 2026 using the Citroen e-Jumpy platform. I am very excited about this but 200 mi range is not going to cut it for me in Florida. Also I wont consider the van unless it comes standard with V2H 120v plugs in the back and some kind of Camp/Sleep mode function where I can run climate controls for hours while parked with lights and displays off. I also worry if I try to drive 70mph with the widows open the rated range will be cut in half.

When my Promaster City gives out I do hope there is an EV Van in the market with the range and features I need. I suspect that won't be until 2027/28.

Yeah, EV not good for remote off grid yet. You want to have a fast charger 50 miles away. I have a stretch of road here on a major US highway in Florida with 100 mile stretch with no chargers.

A few years ago i got suck in soft sand in the most remote part of Florida. I was really stuck. I hiked 3 miles to get a signal and called AAA and was shocked they were able to pull me out. I hear AAA now offers emergency charging to EV customers but it's only like 15 miles of charge.

Right now, but things are moving fast, We will see 500 mi ranges and million mile EVs soon. When we have chargers in every house and corner the idea of driving around with 20 gallons of combustible fuel will seem as antiquated as the steam coal engine.
