There are some custom coverings available, but I can't recall. I do know they can be pricey.

If your plan is just to block out light for sleeping, may think about a full blackout partition curtain just behind the front seats using a rod or bungie cord. I've seen this a lot.

If you want to maintain your front seats facing rearward for seating and still have the blackout, you would make the curtain long enough to drape over the back of the seats. I'm sure this would be much cheaper.

I plan on doing this in my coach, when it's ready in August.

That's what I did for the first couple of trips, using a heavy bungie with soft hooks connected to the two grab handles over the doors. But I now have a white cover that goes over the outside of the windshield and door windows, with magnets in a couple of spots. Gives more room inside, and does better than the sheet we used before. But it does get wet in the rain, and has to be put on in the rain, so there's that.

Oh, mine's a Sprinter, but I would think they're readily available for other vans or cutaways.

If you want high-quality custom shades for your windshield and side windows, you could try these. We ordered a set for our Sprinter, and they also make shades for Promaster. I will admit up front that the prices are not low, but they are custom, handmade, in Oregon (e.g. Made in the USA).

Need to know the year. It all changed 2019. I bought weatherguards, work great. Now have a set that came with my 2019 rig I'll sell. Wanted something lighter duty

Does anyone else have drilled 1/2” diameter holes in their pro master cab floor through the rubber and insulation near the rear of the passenger seat on both sides? If so what did you use to seal the holes? The one on the door side is half underneath the seat base. Winnebago said Ram leaves these predrilled holes for seat differences. If so what prevents water from going down them onto the metal? Seems like an unfinished look for a $135,000 vehicle.

2021 Travato KL

I have a 2020.5K and have the same holes in the floor mat. It did bother me a bit at first but I don’t notice it so much anymore. I just left the holes infilled.

kmessinger · 04-06-2021, 10:49 PM

I went to Lowes (hardware store) and bought plastic plugs to go in the holes.

perrytg · 04-07-2021, 05:37 PM

Thanks. That’s what I’m thinking of doing, rubber plugs.

perrytg · 04-08-2021, 12:06 AM

We bought 1/2” hole plugs (Polypropylene) from WIDGETCO.com they fit perfectly , come in grey (not a dark grey), black or white. Just push them into the holes. I thought the grey color was ok but I ordered black ones too just to see the difference.

kmessinger · 05-10-2021, 05:04 PM

You mean those weight reduction holes? That is a feature.

No, it has something to do with ProMaster and the different front seats(bench) you can get. I went down to Lowes and bought some (I think) 1/2" rubber plugs.

This isn't a direct answer but may expand you options. I hated the compartment for the sewer hose on our 2015 59K. It was not only messy but leaked onto the switch for the water pump killing it.
I took a piece of 1/2" plastic pipe, put a hinge on one end and a catch on the other and arranged across the back of the van just ahead of the rear bumper. Now I just unhook one end of the plastic pipe and it drops down so I can thread the sewer hose onto it, then tuck it back up behind the bumper and attach the catch. It can drip dry without doing any damage.

Has anyone ever installed a diesel heater in a Travato? Is it needed? I don't own a Travato, but i am looking for one to use for work travel. I am based out of Ohio, so i need to use it in the winter. Not sure if the factory heater is enough.

EmAre · 12-16-2022, 09:35 AM

We have the 2016 59k diesel and really enjoy it. A heater is a great idea. Anything under 40 F is chilly. Have looked at the diesel heaters but haven't made the move yet. Don't get caught in the cold weather all that often so it's not high on the priority list.
