If you’re looking for the freedom and sense of adventure that a motorhome provides but want the mobility of a car, then you should consider a camper van.

Camper vans are an attractive option given that they are compact, rugged, and can be as equipped as you need. You can go pretty much anywhere a car can go and get better gas mileage than bigger RVs.

They come in a variety of sizes and configurations depending on their purpose.

Some are designed for weekend travel, while others can accommodate simple full-time living. Some are for campgrounds, and others for boondocking. Some are cheap, and others are shockingly expensive!

(Curious what a $500,000 camper van entails? See at the end of the list!)

How Do You Choose the Right Camper Van?

Like other RV classes, there are many options for camper vans on the market. Perhaps too many. That's why we're highlighting the best ones.

Choosing the best camper van for you depends on your travel plans, as well as the following considerations:

• Your Budget
• Size to accommodate your gear and passengers
• Drivetrain (2-wheel, 4-wheel, or all-wheel drive)
• Diesel vs. gasoline
• Service history and mileage (if buying used)
• Weekender vs. Fulltime

The following list of 2024 best camper vans gives you a range of the above features.

The Best Camper Vans 2024

Based on our experience, many visits to RV shows, and other campers, we’ve compiled a list of the best camper vans for you to check out this year.

You'll find camper vans that are tried-and-true, as well as new models that are catching the attention of RVers everywhere.

The following are listed in no particular order, as the “best” depends on your individual needs and wants. But this shortlist will help you determine which camper van is best for you.

1. Grech STRADA-ion

The STRADA-ion is Grech's flagship Sprinter Motorhome. It's a luxury Class B with an advanced lithium-ion battery energy storage system. It provides a total of 1,260Ah, which will run the AC for up to 12 hours on battery power alone.

It has a 280-amp alternator that charges the lithium-ion batteries from idle , meaning you don't have to drive to charge your batteries. The battery management software pairs with its Fire Fly control system, which you can operate from your phone.

The 2024 Grech RV Strada is built on the all-new 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD. with air suspension.

It's 24 feet long and sleeps 2. It comes in 2 floorplans, the Lounge Plan and Tour Plan. The biggest difference between the two is that the Lounge Plan seats up to 9, whereas the Tour Plan “only” seats 7. I put “only” in quotations because 7 is a lot of people!

And all seats have seat belts! Many campervans can “seat” several guests, but only provide seatbelts for 2-4. The Stradia provides a safer alternative for all of your travel companions.

MSRP starts at $259,900.

2. Embassy RV Dolphin SL

The Embassy Dolphin SL is known for its revolutionary floor plan that allows for two separate sleeping areas . That means a person can stay awake or wake up early and not disturb the person who's sleeping!

This separate sleeping arrangement also makes it popular among single parents, traveling friends, and traveling business partners. And, speaking of work, the rear bed platform converts into a table-height desk.

It's 22'2″ long and built on a Ford Transit Chassis. The kitchen and bathroom separate the front living/sleeping area from the rear bedroom. Your usable space can be extended with an optional rear porch with tent.

The Dolphin SL has a lithium-ion battery system. It doesn't come with solar, but the system can be fully charged by the engine. You can add a battery management system with Bluetooth™ connectivity as an option.

Unfortunately, Embassy doesn't list MSRP, but it likely starts in the $150,000 – $175,000 range. So, you have to call to get a quote for your desired floorplan and options.

The No Wood RV = Mold & Mildew Resistant (Video)

BUT! Perhaps the most NOTABLE FEATURE of the latest Dolphin SL RV Model is that it's a No Wood RV. It's made of composite material that makes it mold and mildew-resistant .

That's excellent news for RVers in wet or tropical climates. (Hear that Florida snowbirds?!)

3. Roadtrek Pivot

The Roadtrek Pivot is 20'9″ long and built on a RAM Promaster 3500 chassis. It comfortably seats 4 and sleeps 3 with an optional folding mattress.

It has two different bed setup options: two twin beds or one king bed. The optional single folding mattress can be laid across the front two captain seats.

A popular feature is its Duo Space bathroom , which comes standard. It has a pivoting wall that creates a separate showering area and keeps the other amenities dry. They market it as the “driest wet bath ever.”

It also has an outdoor shower and rear access doors. So, you can open the side sliding door and rear swing doors for an open indoor/outdoor setup.

It comes standard with a 13′ power awning, 600 AMP lithium battery system, generator, 300-watt solar panels, and 12/100 V power inverter.

MSRP starts at $183,386.

4. Roadtrek Chase

We've owned a couple Roadtreks, so it's no surprise another model makes it on the list. The Chase is one of the most affordable on the list with it's simple, efficient design.

The Chase is 20'9″ and built on the Ram ProMaster 3500 extended van chassis. It can seat 4 and sleep 3 with an optional folding mattress that lays over the cab seats.

It has a 300W solar panel and 600 amp lithium battery system. Some other nice standard features include a 13′ power awning, 11,000 BTU A/C, and heavy duty magnetic bug screens for rear and passenger sliding door.

MSRP is $176,386.

5. Coachmen Galleria Li3

The Coachmen Galleria is 24'3″ long and built on the award-winning 3500 Mercedes Sprinter extended platform. We toured it and took the above picture at the Florida RV SuperShow.

It has four floorplan options , including one option (24A) with a fixed bed and power incline storage underneath. Its kitchen is on the bigger side, including a 7.3 cu. ft. refrigerator with pull-out freezer in the 24A and 24FL floor plans.

Standard features include an Onan quiet generator, 330W solar, and a standard 330 Ah AGM battery with 2,000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter.

But you'll notice that we specifically listed the Galleria Li3 . This is an upgraded option for a 630 Ah Li3 lithium battery that we think makes it one of the best camper vans. (The model pictured above is an Li3).

Coachmen doesn't list the MSRP, but it likely starts around $250,000. You'd need to contact a local dealer to learn more.

6. Coachmen Beyond

Coachment earns another spot on the list with the Beyond. We toured it and took the above picture at the Florida RV SuperShow.

At 22'2 “, it's two feet shorter and gets 1 mpg better gas mileage than the Galleria. It's built on the Ford Transit AWD chassis with a 3.5L EcoBoost engine and 10-speed transmission.

The Beyond has three floorplan options , including the 22RB that has a rear wet bath with a flip-down sink and shower. This roomier bathroom makes it a popular choice.

Some standard features include a 2.8KW gasoline generator, 195W solar panel with dual charging capabilities, and a 2,000W Xantrex inverter with auto-gen start. Like the Galleria, you can opt for the Li3 Lithium Battery System, among other nice upgrade options.

Coachmen doesn't list the MSRP, but it likely starts around $200,000. You'd need to contact a local dealer to learn more.

7. Coachmen Nova

That's right, Coachmen has a third model that makes our list of the best camper vans. The Nova (as the name implies) is the newest member of the Coachmen Class B family.

The Nova is 20'11” and has three floorplans to choose from. Like the Beyond, it has a floorplan option with a rear bath (20RB).

It's built on the Ram Pro Master 3500 extended Chassis with a 3.6L V6 engine. It comes standard with 220W solar and 3 Group 31 115AH AGM Batteries.

Like the other two Coachmen on this list, you can opt for the Li3 Lithium Battery System. A unique option the Nova offers is a Pop Top with a 190W solar panel, skylight, and Thule awning.

Again, Coachmen doesn't list the MSRP, but it likely starts around $175,000. You'd need to contact a local dealer to learn more.

8. Thor Tellaro

The Tellaro from Thor is one of the most affordable camper vans on this list. It features many of the same functionalities as their Sequence model, except the Tellaro is available with a pop-top.

The Tellaro is 21′ long, and without the pop-top, sleeps two people. It's available in 4 floorplans, so you have lots of choices with this one. We particularly like the 20A floorplan that gives you a sky bunk option in addition to a rear bedroom.

Standard equipment includes a Thule bike rack, 190-watt solar panel, dual 100-Ah lithium house batteries, power awning, and a power-saver AC system. This model features the same generator you’ll find in the Solis, as well as a similar bathroom.

The Tellaro, however, does have a few advantages over the Winnebago Solis. For example, it has a bigger dining table and refrigerator, extended storage space, and a powered awning.

Tellaro MSRP starts at $140,560, depending on the floorplan you select. The 20A floorplan that we like starts at $144,760.

9. 4X4 Tiffin GH1

The GH1 is the new Tiffin 4×4 AWD vehicle, replacing the Tiffin Cahaba. It's a small but mighty camper van that seats 4 and sleeps 2.

The overall length is 19'6″ long and built on a Mercedes 2500 Sprinter chassis with a 3.0L turbo diesel engine.

It has on-board 200-watt solar panel, and a 540-Amp Hour Lithium-Ion Battery Kit with a 3,000-Watt Inverter. It's pre-wired for optional Starlink Pro and its 15,000-BTU A/C has soft-start and WirelessCapability.

The sleek design includes all-metal running boards, a fixed and side-mounted roof access ladder, and a powered awning. Another cool feature is its on-board air compressor.

Tiffin doesn't list the MSRP, but it likely starts around $180,000. Contact a local dealer to learn more.

10. Winnebago Travato

The Travato from Winnebago is one of the top-selling camper vans in North America. At 21’, it sleeps 2 and seats 4.

It has 2 floorplans, one with a single large Murphy+bed (59G) and the other with two single beds (59K). Both floor plans are available in either AGM batteries/generator or lithium with a second under-the-hood alternator (59GL and 59KL).

It's built on a Ram ProMaster chassis with a 3.6L V6 engine.

Roof and sidewall insulation, heated tanks and available dual-pane acrylic insulated windows extend the camping season. We love winter camping, and even wrote an ebook for those who want to give it a try.

The Travato features a Pure 3  Advanced Energy System that provides more than 9,000 useable watt-hours of power. You can boost that to over 12,000 with their optional 4-module energy pack.

The 4 floorplans range from $175,292 to $210,515.

Winnebago also offers a 4-sleeper floorplan with the Solix 59PX . It starts at $152,169.

11. Winnebago Revel

Winnebao earns another spot on the list with the Revel. It's now built on the AWD Mercedes-Benz® Sprinter chassis with a 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine.

The Revel is 19'7″, sleeps 2, and seats 4. It comes with one 320-amp hour LiFePO 4  battery you can monitor via Bluetooth. ®  Plus, a quiet, Hydronic Heating System.

The Revel's most notable feature that sets it apart from others is its power lift bed with large gear garage below. It gives you extra gear storage without sacrificing sleeping space. We also like the fold-down outside table.

MSRP is $223,495, which we think is reasonable for this compact RV that fits a lot of gear.

12. Pleasure-Way Plateau FL

The Plateau FL is 22'9″ long and built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 van chassis. It has a 3.0L V6 BlueTEC diesel engine.

It has two separate living areas with an electric sofa that coverts to a queen bed in the back and a lounge area in the front. This setup allows two people to easily enjoy “Me Time” with separate TVs and sitting areas.

The front lounge also has a multifunctional workstation. And the gallery kitchen has more counterspace than you often see in camper vans.

The Plateau FL has Dual 100Ah lithium batteries, a 2000-watt pure-sine wave inverter, and an Onan generator.

MSRP is $204,750.

13. Airstream Rangeline

The Airstream Rangeline is 21′ long and is built on the RAM ProMaster 3500 chassis. It has a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine.

It has a simple, efficient floorplan with a rear sleeping area for 2 and seat capacity for 4. You can expand the living and sleeping space with an optional pop-top.

It comes standard with a single 270Ah Deep Cycle Lithium Battle Born Battery (LiFePO4), 100 amp charger, a 2,000 watt power inverter, and a 200 watt solar panel.

It may not have as many bells and whistles as other camper vans, but it's very practical and comfortable. Plus, it's one of the most affordable options.

Pricing starts at $147,570.

14. Airstream Interstate

The Airstream Interstate comes in 6 models and two sizes: 19′ and 24′. You get lots of options, especially when it comes to how many people it can accommodate.

The 19-foot models sleep 2 and seat 4, but the 24-foot models can sleep two and seat up to 9 people! It's hard to go into detail about the features and floor plans, because you have so many options.

But Airstream lives up to its iconic name with all six models. So, they're worth checking out individually. The image above is the largest, most expensive of the bunch.

MSRP ranges from $178,640 to $246,351.

15. Entegra Coach Launch

The Entegra Coach Launch is 19'6″ long and is built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 4×4 van chassis. It has a 2.0L 4-cylinder diesel engine.

The interior includes a generous garage space in the rear with a drop-down bed. It can sleep 2 and seat 3 in a small yet functional living area.

On the exterior, it has a fold-down exterior table, a double roof rack, and a moveable roof ladder. New for 2024, is its integrated Starlink Satellite Internet System.

It comes standard with a 48V 210Ah smart lithium battery that provides 10KWh of power. It also has a 3,500W inverter and 200W solar panels.

The Entegra Coach website has a Build & Price feature, which shows the basic MSRP at $246,375.

16. Westfalia Wave

Twenty years after leaving the American market, the Italian RV company, Westfalia, returns to our shores. Westfalia campers are best known for their pop-up roofs, but they are also introducing a brand-new model called the Wave .

The Wave is 20′-9″ on a Dodge Promaster chassis. It has a complete bathroom, kitchen, and versatile sleeping options for up to 6 people. Yes, this campervan can sleep up to six people!

Their patented convertible passenger seating flips down over the driver's area to create a third bed. That's in addition to the pop-top bed that's perfect for kids and the larger bed options in the back. Of course, 6 adults would be pushing it, but it's a great option for families with small kids or teens.

Other notable features include:

• Modern natural tones
• Rear, under-bed trunk that can fit mountain bikes
• Pass-through storage that can fit long gear, like paddle boards
• Cassette toilet in wet bath (yes, it has a shower!)
• Propane cooktop, microwave oven, and Vitrifrigo Refrigerator
• 600-amp hours of lithium batteries & 3,000-watt inverter
• Firefly tablet-style multiplex system

We got to tour it at this year's RV SuperShow in Tampa, and were impressed. They list two Florida RV dealers on their American website and include MSRP, so it seems like they are officially available*!

The non-pop top Wave MSRP is $156,627. The Wave Pop Top MSRP is $167,616.

*It's rather common at RV shows for European models to be showcased and promoted as “coming to America” without any substance backing that up. They attract a lot of hype at RV shows , but then you never see these RVs actually make it onto American roads.

So, it's reassuring that Westfalia already has an established and growing dealership network. Pro Tip: Be sure to ask about FIRM delivery dates. If the best they can offer is “available soon,” consider holding off.

17. The Advanced RV Van

Rounding out our list of the best Cass B RVs for 2022 are the custom vans built by Advanced RV of Willoughby, Ohio.

They are not for everyone because of the cost. They even clearly state in their FAQs that “an ARV will cost 2-4 times more than a factory-built, class B motorhome purchased from a dealer.” They're very possibly the most expensive campervan on the market.

These vans – built on the Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis – are completely customized to the customer. Each one is built with features and a floor plan personally selected by the buyer after several days of planning with Advanced RV engineers and designers.

No two Advanced RV vans are alike, and each is named by the customer. From the time the order is submitted to the time it is delivered – usually a year-long process – it is referred to by that name and never a number. 

The vans typically have massive lithium battery power supplies, high-end, computer-controlled air suspension systems for smooth rides, handcrafted cabinetry, deluxe entertainment systems, and innovative components like recirculating water systems.

The vans start at about $340,000 and go up to around $500,000.

I told you these were not for everyone. But in a list of the best Class B RVs, Advanced RV has to be included. They truly are quality designs.

It is worth noting that they have Pre-Owned ARVs for sale on their website, as well. You don't get to fully customize it, but you do get a customized van at a better price.

Here's a video tour we did of the factory to give you an idea of the process.

These are all great but I am telling you I own a 1998 Chinook and it just blows all of these out of the water. Just a lot more room. 4 people can comfortably play cards around the resturant like booth and table. My advise is buy a mint one for 20k and spend 10k updating all the electronics. Only downside is I am 5-9 200lbs, not very big, but I have trouble wiping my butt in the little wet bath. Hey, I didn’t buy it for the pooper anyway but it is good enough. Just dont eat a lot of donuts.

Mike, I was surprised you did not have the Pleasureway Ontour 2.0 and 2.2 in your list. These are some of the most sought after vans in the country. I have an Ontour 2.2 and this coach is amazing. From the Ford eco boost engine to the large bathroom it is close to the perfect B. This doesn’t take into account the customer service Pleasureway is known for. I am 6ft 4in and about 280lbs and it is the only B van than is comfortable for someone my size.

I own a Grech 2022 Turismo Ion RV and the Grech build is teriffic. All A1 construction. But you referred to the company as “Gretch.” There is no “T” in the name. The people at the factory are very friendly and they welcome you if you have any problems.

Oh no – thank you for pointing out this typo! Team RV Lifestyle

January 25, 2024at11:07 am , Warren Gress said:

Great summary! I did notice you mentioned the Travato has 4 floor plans. They have 4 trim levels, but only a G and K floor plan, available in either AGM batteries/generator or lithium with a second under the hood alternator.

January 25, 2024at4:20 pm , Team RV Lifestyle said:

Great catch – we clarified the copy – thanks, Warren! Team RV Lifestyle

May 16, 2023at2:19 pm , Dede Bett said:

Just an FYI: The Pleasure-Way Plateau is on a 3500 Mercedes Benz Sprinter van, not a 2500.

We own a 2018 Pleasure-Way XLTS, the larger B+ van, they currently don’t make them (too bad, it’s great!) and we love it! We looked at several others and felt the quality of Pleasure-Way was better than some on your list that you’ve rated higher, but that’s our opinion.

May 17, 2023at4:41 pm , Team RV Lifestyle said:

Pleasure-Way makes a great van, for sure! Team RV Lifestyle

July 19, 2022at9:48 am , Michal Grupa said:

Great list! I recently did 2 road trips, 1 in a Winnebago Solis in the States and 1 in a brand new VW T6.1 California in Portugal. The ‘Winnie’ was pretty good but it’s a big sloppy thing, driving it just isn’t much fun and we had a bunch of issues with it form the start… Not Ideal…

The 2nd trip was much different. Portugal is incredible and I was blown away by the level of quality in the VW camper. The fit and finish was really nice and tight. If anyone is heading out that way check out the company, Siesta Campers, I think they’re really onto something special there. Enjoy the ride.

Hi Roger, is this still available? Does it have a toilet? Thanks, Joel

July 10, 2021at11:06 pm , ROGER REINER said:

Yes, everything works, but the shower is not currently hooked up. That’s the way it was when we bought it, but we did have it checked out and it does work, but needs to be re-connected. We never needed it so have not done so yet.

June 15, 2021at2:48 am , Betty Brunson said:

Very interested in your van. Where are you located?

June 17, 2021at11:57 am , Roger said:

Western SD, near Rapid City, Sturgis, Mount Rushmore, etc.

I understand the Winnebago Travato is the No. 1 selling camper van but you never mention it.

January 24, 2021at12:16 pm , alan schroepfer said:

Looking for a short 17′ solid high-top B motorhome like the old Roadtrek 170. Todays “short” advertised B’s .are at least 19′. Revel’s Mercedes is too expensive. I’ve called the major B manufacturers and as of January 2021 no USA builder plans to meet this market. Is there a European product like this being sold and available in the lower 48?

June 14, 2021at5:24 pm , ROGER REINER said:

We have a 1990 Ford E-250 fully self-contained. Shower works but is not hooked up. Few minor dings and repairs. We bought this as a basket case and then had nearly everything repaired so it all works fine now, I think. Has new Michelin tires, new computer, many other things. Microwave, fridge, TV, 2-burner stove, Onan 2800 generator, Comfortably sleeps 3 adults or maybe two adults, two children. Respond with ph# or email and I can provide pics and other details. We don’t need to sell but will as both of us are facing health issues. ~est. $20,000 or so.

June 14, 2021at5:42 pm , Roger said:

Forgot to mention this is a factory Ford 190 Falcon. Mileage is 99435. No leaks on vehicle or engine, trans, etc., all 3 new fuel pumps, both batteries replaced, tranny flushed, inverter plate replaced, full tune-up, manual awning works fine, AC/heater work good, plus several other minor things done and a few yet to be including a few cosmetic things. Currently winterized.

June 16, 2021at4:23 pm , ROGER REINER said:

Forgot to mention it has a heavy duty hitch as well. We debugged this a few years ago on a 3000 mile round trip to the Mojave desert in S. CA. — you can try to reach me at rushcard1 which is registered under yahoo.com using the at sign — the generator is actually a 2.8 KW Onan and looks new — thanks.

January 21, 2021at9:22 am , Maureen Collind said:

What about the Recon and Metris camper vans? How do you rate them?

January 19, 2021at12:41 pm , Mark said:

All units listed, except the Revel, have a Truma heating system onboard. Focus on reliability and comfort from these OEMs is clear from their selection of systems on board.

January 19, 2021at9:30 am , Doug said:

No AC or generator on the Solis 59P

January 19, 2021at2:34 pm , Amy Delpiere said:

You’re right Doug. I noticed that also. My understanding is that you need to upgrade to the PX to get enough space on the roof for an AC unit. The small bathroom size may be a deal-breaker for my husband, but I still like the Solis a lot.

January 19, 2021at9:02 am , Anne said:

After many years of searching, I found the Panoramic- built in Quebec Canada. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was the one. Quality is better than all others, in my opinion.

January 19, 2021at8:50 am , richard said:

Coach House Arriva. Same size as the Airstream, equally high-end finishes, and a dry bath!

January 19, 2021at8:49 am , Marsha said:

So sad you don’t even mention Roadtrek anymore….

January 19, 2021at12:34 pm , Pamela Forman said:

It is, isn’t it. Probably sorry they don’t have one anymore!

July 18, 2021at2:31 pm , Joni said:

Since I have one. Roadtrek would probably be my number 1 choice.

The first years of this decade have already provided ample evidence that it’s important to get away from our daily lives from time to time.  And you don’t have to suffer the airport hordes or step foot on a plane to do so. We currently find ourselves in something of a golden age for luxury trailers, which has made it easier than ever to take your life on the road without sacrificing many, and in some cases any, of the comforts of home. And now, there are plenty of manufacturers and dedicated conversion shops giving the same treatment to vans and other similar vehicles. They may not be able to sleep as many people as their hulking cousins—with one key exception—but these all-in-one wonders come loaded with perks such as high-end kitchens, Wi-Fi-enabled multimedia systems, and plush beds. Plus, their relatively smaller size means they are more agile, off-road friendly, and easier to park. Below are 15 campers that will let you experience #vanlife in comfort and style.

Our Best Camper Van Picks

Best overall: airstream interstate 24x, best for off-roading: jayco terrain, best for weekend getaways: mercedes-benz eqt marco polo, best for off-the-grid trips: winnebago solis, best for cyclists: outside van tails, best for camping (anywhere): storyteller overland beast mode 4×4, best to live in: loki expeditions discovery series, best all-electric option: tonke eqv.

Airstream. Thankfully, the company isn’t afraid to branch out. Just look at the  Interstate 24X , the trailer maker’s attempt to take the camper van to new heights. Built on the bones of a  Mercedes-Benz  Sprinter—like a lot of the models on this list—the vehicle has everything you need to rough it in comfort. Airstream has done a lot to maximize space in its climate-controlled cabin. A modular dining table doubles as a desk, and it can be easily converted into the largest sleeping area in a Class B Motorhome. There’s also a full mini kitchen and bathroom. You can take the van off-roading, too. In addition to a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6 engine that churns out 188 hp and 325 ft lbs of torque, it also comes equipped with four-wheel drive, a height-adjustable suspension and all-terrain tires. Pricing for the all-around beast starts at $213,850.

Special Features: —A climate-controlled living area that has been designed to maximize available space. —A modular dinner table, a mini-kitchen and a bathroom with a toilet.

Jayco is best known for its hulking travel trailers, but like Airstream, it can do compact, too (well, compact enough to fit in a parking space, that is). The US company’s new  Terrain  model, which starts at $192,000, is an adventure van designed for those who like to veer from the beaten path. As the name suggests, it’s designed for off-roading, with a turbo-diesel V-6, Koni shocks, a rear stabilizer and a rear hitch strong enough to tow an additional trailer if you need more room. Inside, it’s a little spartan compared to some other options on this list, but its kitchenette can be converted into a sleeping area with room for a full-size bed, as well as plenty of storage space beneath. There’s even a built-in awning when you need some shade in the summer months.

Special Features: —Equipped with Koni shocks, a rear stabilizer and a heavy-duty tow hitch. —Kitchenette can be converted into a spacious sleeping area with room for a full-size bed.

Mercedes-Benz clearly doesn’t want to relinquish its title as the go-to van maker for outdoor lovers. At last year’s Düsseldorf Caravan Salon, the German marque showed off a prototype based on its upcoming all-electric EQT van called the Marco Polo. The stylish EV has everything you need for a weekend at the campground and is more compact than the ubiquitous Sprinter. When the van’s rear seats are folded down, the back can be used as either a sleeping area with room for a double bed or a cooking and entertaining space. The kitchen doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some of the other entries on this list, but it does have a pull-out stove, fridge and sink. There’s also a pop-up, roof-mounted tent if your travel party includes more than two. The Marco Polo is a concept, but Mercedes will sell a module that will allow you to turn any EQT into a camper van when the $51,500 EV goes on sale in the spring.

Special Features: —All-electric power train, so you don’t have to worry about doing too much damage to nature while you explore it. —Its  camping  gear—from the bed to the kitchenette—is part of a module that can be fully removed when you need more cargo room.

The Winnebago Solis is for adventurers who don’t want to be confined to the campground. The van is available with an optional power kit that has everything a group of up to four adults needs to spend a few days off-the-grid. The setup, which includes an inverter, a shore battery converter, a battery energy converter, a solar energy converter and an alternator energy optimizer, can produce enough power to keep the van and all its features running for up to 72 hours. On top of that, the van features a kitchenette, a convertible entertainment area with room for a double bed, and a full-width wet bath.

Special Features: —A unique power kit that can provide enough power to spend up to 72 hours off the grid. —Still has all the features you’d expect from a luxe camper van, including a full-width wet bath.

If you like to mix biking and camping, Outside Van has the vehicle for you. The Portland brand’s  Tails  model is a camper van designed with cyclists in mind. The van, which is based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, has everything you need for a few days away from home, including a kitchenette, a roll-over sofa and a convertible mattress. But what really sets it apart is the rear of the vehicle that’s basically an on-the-go bicycle repair shop, with a fold-down work table, an air compressor and Molle panels to hang all your tools. If that wasn’t enough, it somehow has room for six bikes, even when the bed is laid out for the night.

Special Features: —The back of the van is basically a bicycle-repair shop with a fold-down table, an air compressor and plenty of storage space for tools. —Has room for six bikes, even when its convertible sleeping area is out.

This latest offering from Storyteller Overland, based in Birmingham, Ala., is a true adventure van. The  Beast Mode 4×4  is the outfit’s most feature-packed model yet and was designed specifically for overlanding (as you may have guessed from the company’s name). It’s a true 4×4 powered by a 188 hp turbodiesel V-6 that’s strong enough to tow an additional 5,000 pounds. Its slick retro-style livery is offset with loads of useful off-roading gear, too, such as an LED light package, a roof rack and a side ladder and custom wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich K02 tires. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to relax after a day of exploring, including a cushy lounge that can be converted to a full-size sleeping area. There’s even a climate-control system to ensure you’re comfortable no matter the weather outside. It’s priced at a flat $198,746, for everything listed above.

Special Features: —Turbodiesel V-6 sends 188 hp of power to all four wheels and is strong enough to tow 5,000 extra pounds. —Surprisingly cushy lounge for an off-roading beast.

Let’s get this out of the way: the Loki Expeditions Discovery Series isn’t technically a camper van. It’s a giant expedition vehicle, but because its cabin is installed directly onto a heavy-duty truck chassis you also don’t need anything to tow it. The vehicle’s cabin is what separates it from anything else on this list. Loki Expeditions has turned a shipping container—yes, you read that right—into a full-featured living space that has all the amenities you’d expect to find in a luxury apartment, including a full kitchen with a large fridge, an entertainment area with a U-shaped banquet, and a wet bath with a cassette toilet. It’s also big enough to sleep six adults, with room for two in the dedicated bedroom and four in the entertainment area. And because the heavy-duty vehicle, which starts at $550,000, has all-wheel drive, you can take it practically anywhere.

Special Features: —Cabin has all the features you’d expect to find in a well-appointed apartment and can sleep six adults. —Built on a burly heavy-duty truck chassis that gives you the freedom to venture off the beaten path.

Looking for an EV you can take to the campground. The upcoming EQV just might fit the bill. Despite its relatively compact size—it’s smaller than the ever-popular Sprinter—Dutch camping outfit Tonke has managed to outfit it with everything you need to spend some time communing with nature. It has an entertainment area that doubles as a workspace along with a kitchenette, both of which can be converted into a two-person sleeping area with a simple flip of a bench (a roof-mounted, pop-up tent means it can sleep two more, too). Best of all, there are two variants available—the Touring, which is designed for long road trips, and the Adventure, which is aimed at casual campers.

Special Features: —Fully electronic power train means you won’t have to worry about filling up the tank (though the battery is another story). —Can sleep up to four even despite its relatively compact size.

Best for G-Wagen Lovers: Terracamper Tecrawl 

The Tecrawl isn’t a camper van per se, but it’s hard to leave something this cool off a list like this. Terracamper’s latest offering is based on one of Mercedes-Benz’s most legendary vehicles, the G-Wagen . The German shop has dreamed up a modular accessory kit for the luxury 4×4, that starts at $11,900 and includes a roof-mounted tent, a convertible sofa, and a pull-out kitchenette with a fridge box. Thanks to the ingenious setup, the boxy SUV can sleep up to three and act as your home base next time you want to rough it for the weekend. And because it’s a G-Wagen you can take it as far off-road as you want.

Special Features: —A G-Wagen but has room for up to three people to sleep. —Packs a brawny powertrain that’s well-suited for off-road adventures.

Thor Motor Coach makes camper vans for those uninterested in making sacrifices. With the  Sanctuary , the company has taken Mercedes-Benz’s already excellent Sprinter 2500 4×4 and turned it into something you could easily live on—on or off the grid. The off-road-ready vehicle comes in two configurations—the 19P ($148,680), which features a back bench that converts into a bed, or the 19L ($151,060), which has a fixed double bed. Even with the bed there’s still plenty of room for other creature comforts, including a bathroom, an entertainment area with a TV and a kitchen with a sink, a dual-burner cooktop, a convection microwave oven and a fridge. An Onan 2500 LP generator keeps everything up and running, too, including an A/C system you can leave on for eight hours at a time. There’s also retractable power awning when you want to spend some time outdoors.

Special Features: —Full-featured bathroom has a sink, a shower and a toilet. —Available with your choice of either a convertible or a fixed bed.

Caravan Outfitter’s third-generation Free Bird isn’t the most feature-laden camper van out there, but it has everything you and the family need to spend a weekend (or more) at the campground. The van, which starts at $50,810, is built on the relatively compact Ford Transit Connect platform but still has room for a full-size bed, a multi-purpose table that can be used as a dinette or workstation, and a pull-out kitchenette with a sink. Because it’s smaller than other options on this list, it only has room to sleep two, but there are several enticing add-ons, including roof- and rear-mounted capsule tents, in case you’re traveling group includes more people.

Special Features: —It’s the rare camper van that’s small enough to be comfortably parked inside your garage. —Caravan Outfitters offers several intriguing add-ons so you customize it to your liking.

Airstream isn’t the only famous RV maker that’s gotten into the camper van game. Winnebago actually sells several, and our favorite is the luxe  Boldt . Despite being nowhere near as long as one of its campers—it caps out at 22 feet in length—the $230,276 van has everything you’d expect from the larger vehicle, including dedicated living and sleeping areas, a fully functional kitchen and a bathroom equipped with a shower. You also have several interior decor options to choose from, each of which delivers an updated take on classic Winnebago style. The Boldt is designed for paved roads and campgrounds, but if you want a more rugged ride, the brand also offers the off-road-ready  Revel.

Special Features: —Stretches 22 feet bumper to bumper, meaning there’s plenty of room for you and yours. —Enough space for dedicated entertaining and sleeping areas.

Take one look at  Sportsmobile’s Sprinter 4×4  and it’s clear what its designers had in mind: off-roading. Whether you go with the 12- or 14-foot configuration, the Texas outfit’s stripped-down take on Mercedes’s ultra-popular van comes equipped with a 3.0-liter BlueTec V-6 connected to a five-speed automatic transmission and pumps out 188 hp and 325 ft lbs of torque. That should be more than enough to tackle even the toughest terrain. Inside, you’ll find a spacious living area with a full-featured kitchen. If you want even more room, you can also opt for a pop-up sleeping area that’ll make it that much easier to lounge in comfort.

Special Features: —Well insulated throughout, but also has space for a propane furnace or heater. — 3.0-liter BlueTec V-6 and four-wheel drive mean it can take on any terrain.

Struggling to find a camper van that’s just right? Boho might be able to help. The Arizona-based company specializes in conversions and will work with you to create the vehicle of your dreams. The company offers several 20- to 24-foot layouts—of which the most popular is the appropriately named Old Faithful—that can be further tailored to meet your needs, whether your priority is multi-season versatility, lots of cooking space, or spending serious amounts of time on the road. The company also offers plenty of cool add-ons too, like wood paneling and flooring.

Special Features: —Versatile layouts that can be further customized so that you’re getting the exact van you want. —The wooden interior option looks better than it has any right to.

Ford’s ready to knock the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter off its perch. The Detroit giant unveiled its own camper van, the Transit Trail, last fall. The adventure-ready vehicle is based on its uber-popular commercial van but is taller, wider and outfitted with protective body cladding. It’s also powered by a potent V-6 that sends 310 horses and 400 ft lbs to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic gearbox. Right now, Ford seems content to let the $65,975 vehicle be the base for the camper van of your dreams, but it comes loaded with a slew of features that will come in handy at the campground, including a drillable wall you can use to install shelves, a kitchenette or furniture, along with a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen and a back-up camera. It also available in three body configurations—medium-roof, standard length; high-roof, standard length; and high-roof, extended length—one of which should fit your needs.

Special Features: —It’s basically a blank slate for you and your partner to create your own dream camper. —Still comes with premium features such as a 12-inch infotainment screen and a back-up camera.

5 Affordable Camper Vans for Sale

This story was originally published by Curbed before it joined New York Magazine. You can visit the Curbed archive at  archive.curbed.com  to read all stories published before October 2020.

If  Instagram  has anything to say about it,  #VanLife  isn’t going anywhere any time soon. And that’s fine by us, especially because we  can’t get enough  of all things  camper-related .  Love campers and trailers?  Come join our community group .

However, if  camper vans  have any drawbacks compared to  teardrop trailers ,  vintage campers , or your  run-of-the-mill travel trailers , it’s the fact that they can be expensive.  Custom conversion companies  are rolling out  gorgeous   rigs , but some of them cost  over $200,000  and vans by industry heavyweights like  Airstream  and  Winnebago  both cost  over $130,000 . That’s out of reach for most customers and may seem downright ridiculous to some.

Fortunately, there’s a new class of camper companies looking to deliver the van life experience but at a fraction of the cost. You’ll have to sacrifice a few things — like dreams of a  4x4 Mercedes Sprinter — but these five companies show that you can have a sweet camper van for under $70,000 — van and conversion included. This is van life on a budget.

Off Grid Adventure Vans

Cost:  With 2020 Ram Promasters starting around  $30,000  before options, the cost of a brand new van with Off Grid Adventure runs from about $67,000 to $70,000.

Key Features:  We know $70,000 may not seem affordable to most, but Off Grid Adventure Vans aims to produce a more environmentally sustainable, budget-conscious van, and these vans are much cheaper than most  conversion van companies .

The company offers four different layouts. The  Rambler — which costs $36,500 for the buildout — is their most popular layout on the 159-inch Ram Promaster. In this model a full-size Murphy bed sleeps two and folds up when not in use. In its place are two long bench seats with a removable table in between for working or dining. Overhead cabinets and built-in cabinetry provide storage, while a galley kitchen includes a refrigerator, butcher block countertop, stove, and sink. Interested? Head  over here  to read about their other layouts.

The  Free Bird

Cost:  Starting at $38,100 for van and conversion

Key Features:  Built on the Nissan NV200 cargo van, the Free Bird uses a convenient slide-rail system that makes switching from camper van to cargo hauler a cinch. The slide-and-glide system allows all of the components to be installed or removed in about two minutes.

The main cabin is a series of boxes that hold everything you need to camp. The kitchen is accessed from the rear in a slide-out kitchen box; it consists of a portable butane stove and two storage drawers. Another large storage box behind the front two seats houses a deep cycle auxiliary battery that powers the dimmable LED lighting, two USB power ports, and the 31-quart fridge. Head  over here  for more info.

Boho Camper Vans

Cost:  The price of the buildout is $36,500, and vans will cost between $30,000-$37,000.

Key Features:  Founded as a  camper van rental company , Phoenix-based Boho Camper Vans has worked with different types of vans — like  this one-ton commercial passenger van — to outfit them with a streamlined and downright Instagrammable look. With their vans in demand due to coronavirus, Boho Camper Vans have focused all production on the Boho Tall, with wood-focused interiors on a RAM 2500 High Roof 159. Each build out includes 340 watts of solar, an electric dual zone fridge, a portable toilet, and storage cabinets. The bed is located in the rear with a garage below, and there’s a small pull-out table in the sitting area. While the floorplan comes stock, you can customize the tile, floor color, interior base paint color, stain options, bedding, and curtains.

Find out more details,  this way , and see examples of their builds  here  and  here .

Oasis Campervans

Cost:  A full van conversion is  $8,500 , although design changes can raise or lower the price

Key Factors:  Unlike other small camper van companies that use  Nissan  or  Mercedes vans , Colorado-based  Oasis Campervans  converts the all-wheel-drive Toyota Sienna minivan into mobile homes-on-the-go. Oasis Campervan conversions include a main living room with pull-out drawers, a finished floor, and a moveable table for working. One of the most innovative parts of the design is a foldable chair that transforms into part of the bed with a helpful back rest, and when in the sleeping position the full-size mattress can hold one or two people comfortably.

Similar to a  teardrop trailer , the van’s rear area accesses a small kitchen with a sink, running water, drawers and shelves, and a large countertop. Dinner prep is made easy thanks to a fold-up kitchen table, and in certain van layouts, the kitchen can also fit a slide-out drawer that fits a cooler or refrigerator. Head  over here  for more.

Cost:  Core build packages start around  $29,000 , plus the cost of the Promaster van — which starts around $30,000.

Key Features:  San Francisco-based  Glampervan  wants to capitalize on this trend by building clients a “multi-use vehicle” that can take you on vacation, work as a mobile office, and still haul things like a truck. Using a 136-inch wheelbase high-roof Ram Promaster (the medium-sized model in the Ram lineup) Glampervan maximizes space with a build customized for two people.

You enter the van in a galley kitchen loaded with cabinet and storage space. In the back, a Murphy bed sits on the passenger wall and allows space to haul gear or supplies whenever you’re not resting. When in the sleeping position, the bed is just shy of a queen size, and overhead cabinets provide more storage. Read more,  this way .

Size and Maneuverability

Unlike Class C or Class A motorhomes, Class B vans are similar to cars in the way they drive, which seasoned RVers and new owners alike will enjoy. As the smallest motorhome option, camper vans are welcome virtually everywhere. Easily maneuver into standard parking spaces at the grocery store, back into your area at the campground or get off the beaten path and find a new place to call home for the week. Although camper vans are small in size, you still have a private kitchen, bathroom and bed in whichever versatile floor plan you choose.

Affordability

Camper vans are easier to drive, park and store, but that’s not all that van lifers have their sights set on. These home-on-wheels are some of the most affordable in the market. In fact, many outdoor enthusiasts are turning to Class B motorhomes for full-time RV living. Much like a tiny home, you can finance a camper van for up to 20 years, which keeps monthly payments down while you live it up. Living in a camper may sound intimidating, but some say that their lives have changed for the better since moving into a van.

Gas Mileage

Depending on the build, the range of your camper van differs. As one of the most fuel-efficient options in the motorhome market, hitting the road has never been easier. For our camper vans, we expect the miles per gallon to range in the mid to high teens. Less frequent stops means more time for adventure. There are plenty of places, experiences, and people to meet when traveling in a Thor Motor Coach.

Easy Set-Up

When you get to your destination, you don’t have to take too much time to set up camp with your camper van. No more dealing with slide-outs. Plus, your multiplex system easily allows you to monitor your tanks, lights, A/C and more, simply with the touch of a button. The camper van lifestyle is perfect for those who yearn for a calming night among the trees. Extend your awning and on some models, your optional pop-top SkyBunk® and you’re good to go. If you ever need help with your camper van, we have an Owners Guide with blogs and step-by-step videos made with you in mind.

The Coolest Camper Vans & Camping Trailers of 2023

When it came to venturing out and living life on the road, 2023 was a year that delivered plenty of cool products.

This story is part of our end-of-year series This Year in Gear , rounding up the most notable releases of 2023. For more stories like this, click here .

Is there any better feeling than heading out on the open road? Seeing the world through your windshield is one of the few opportunities to experience true freedom; authors and adventurers across time and generations have espoused the act of loading up your belongings, filling up the gas tank and hitting the road (and maybe bringing your dog ).

Today, the freedom is the same, but the on-road digs are a lot different. We’re seeing our favorite rides get electrified; plenty of teardrops are vying for space in our garages and imaginations; and the wide selection of camper vans, trailers and more means there’s something for everyone.

In a year of change, ingenuity and progress, here are the camper vans and trailers that stood out at the proverbial campsite.

• $53,900.00 at airstream.com

The special edition, REI-ified Airstream Basecamp is an ergonomic, comfortable compact camping trailer with plenty of useful features and classic Airstream style … just with an outdoors-y twist. In the mind of our tester, the subtle touches from the giant outdoor retailer don’t justify the additional dollar signs — but for anyone who loves the outdoors, loves Airstream and has the extra cash, this thing is pretty badass. If you’re used to tent camping or sleeping in your rooftop tent, spending a couple of nights in this cozy little trailer feels like the Ritz.

Pebble Flow

• $109,000.00 at

Electrification is already coming to the camping trailer world, and the Pebble Flow proves it. This new camper not only uses its 45-kWh battery pack to run all its on-board amenities, it also uses it to power the wheels, reducing rolling resistance at speed (and thus easing the burden on the tow vehicles, which is very helpful for any electric truck that’s pulling a trailer) but also enabling low-speed autonomous maneuvering via an app for easier parking and camping.

Airstream Studio F. A. Porsche Concept Travel Trailer

Early this year, Airstream and the design firm Studio F. A. Porsche , a subsidiary of Porsche AG, revealed a “what if” collaboration, the Airstream Studio F. A. Porsche Concept Travel Trailer. Think of it this way: It’s essentially what would happen if Porsche used its sports-car sensibilities to design and build an Airstream.

Winnebago unveiled the Solis Pocket back in 2021. It was a new, entry-level camper van for Winnebago that — back in 2021 — dropped the price point below $100,000. Winnebago announced a new 36B floor plan for the Solis Pocket , including several key enhancements. The most significant difference between the Solis and the Solis Pocket has been the latter foregoing a wet bath for a stowable cassette toilet. Opting for the 36B floorplan adds a wet bath at the vehicle’s rear.

The 4XD is made from riveted aluminum — great for keeping out the elements, or the odd bear. It weighs just 1,000–1,500 pounds, depending on the configuration. That’s light enough to be towed by a base Jeep Wrangler , Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness or pretty much any other vehicle equipped with a tow bar. It comes with a hard-sided insulated rooftop dwelling that Antishanty says can sleep two adults plus a child or a dog.

Ford Transit Trail

Ford Transit Trail 2023

Ford originally unveiled the Transit Trail , a more off-road-oriented version of the Transit van, a couple of years ago. Patent filings suggested Ford was considering bringing it to America — and in November 2023, Ford finally did. Adding the Transit Trail is an obvious nod to the burgeoning camper van market, which Ford already targeted with things like the Adventure Prep package . “A turnkey canvas direct from the factory” would make the Transit an even more compelling base vehicle for custom camper van builders .

Camper vans aren’t fuel-efficient — but Mercedes-Benz is thinking about changing that. The brand has teased a tiny electric camper van concept, the Concept EQT Marco Polo , which the brand revealed on December 2nd of this year. The Concept EQT Marco Polo will be based on the production T-Class. Mercedes did not get into specifics about the Concept EQT Marco Polo’s electric powertrain, but one cool feature that Mercedes does mention is that the bed and kitchen unit will be a “flexible module” that can be easily removed to allow the EQT to serve as a conventional van during the weekdays.

The best camper vans for adventurous luxury living in the great outdoors

Solar power, full bathrooms, decked-out kitchens, and high-end finishes throughout—these rigs have it all..

Back in the day, camper vans were the original “shaggin’ wagons.” If your pappy or grandpappy had one, they could probably regale you with stories of cruising across the great US of A in a tricked-out van with dual captain’s chairs, a fold-down rear sofabed, and copious shag carpeting throughout (cue Steve Miller Band’s greatest hits!). But times have certainly changed. Today’s swankiest camper vans offer all the comforts of home, including fully applianced kitchens, pop-up rooftop tents, solar power for weeks, and even full bathroom setups. If that’s the level of opulence you’re looking for, these seven rigs are the best camper vans for luxe living in the great outdoors.

• Storyteller Overland Beast Mode: Best for hardcore overlanders
• Airstream Interstate 24X: Best for heritage-loving nomads

Winnebago Solis: Best camper van for gadget lovers

• Outside Van Tails: Best for mountain bikers
• Thor Motor Coach Sanctuary: Sleekest camper van
• Ford Transit Trail: Best luxury camper van on a budget
• Boho Old Faithful: Best luxury camper van conversion

What to consider when shopping for your next luxury camper van

Storyteller overland beast mode: best for hardcore overlanders.

Most of the luxury camper vans on this list are well-equipped to take you just about anywhere on-road and (mostly) off-road. But Storyteller Overland’s Beast Mode rig is an entirely different animal. It’s the most rugged, go-anywhere camper van in SO’s line-up with legit full-time four-wheel-drive powered by a turbodiesel V6 capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds. Beefy BF Goodrich K02 tires and overlanding-friendly tech, like LED lightbars, a side ladder, and a sizable roof rack good for hauling all your favorite outdoor gear, mounting a solar array, or both—your call—are all standard. We love the interior, too, which features a cushy, retro-meets-modern vibe that’s way cooler than even the most custom vanlifing rigs you’ve seen all over the Instagrams and TikToks. What’s more, the price includes all the fixin’s, so you needn’t worry about running up the bottom line with your favorite options. Starting at $232,586.

Airstream Interstate 24X: Best for heritage-loving nomads

For most of us, the Airstream name conjures up images of the Great American RV Road Trip. But the brand has expanded well beyond its roots as the original “silver bullet” travel trailer maker into the world of luxury camper vans. Its Interstate 24X is built on the legendary Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van chassis (you’ll notice the platform as a common theme on this list). Out of the box, this gives the 24X a long list of standard tech features, including adaptive cruise control, lane-change warnings, and more. True to pretty much everything in Airstream’s catalog, the cabin is uber comfy, with state-of-the-art climate control, a heated wet bath, Bluetooth-enabled Resonado speakers, a fully applianced galley kitchen, and—well, you get the gist. Every square foot of the sleeping quarters, bathroom, dining area, and convertible workstation has also been cleverly optimized to take full advantage of the compact space. Starting at $213,850.

Winnebago has almost as much brand-name cache as Airstream, especially among budget-conscious RVers. The Solis camper van is the brand’s take on premium RV’ing in the tightest space possible. Unlike many of its lightweight tow-behinds, the Solis is purpose-built for off-grid adventuring. At its core is a hardcore, 3,600-watt energy kit that Winny built in partnership with EcoFlow, a bleeding-edge power solution provider . It’s beefy enough to keep this rig and all of its appliances (including the climate control) humming for up to 72 hours, and even expandable by connecting up to two additional batteries without any fancy custom wiring. The cabin is also roomy enough to fit a kitchenette, a surprisingly spacious wet bath, and an entertainment area with room for a double bed. Bonus: It’s more affordable than most comparable camper vans on the market. Starting at $152, 169.

Outside Van Tails: Best for mountain bikers

Van-lifing and cycling go hand in hand. Both types of nomads love the open road, and whatever vehicle best helps them explore it. The Tails camper van from Portland-based Outside Van is purpose-built for van lifers who love taking their two-wheelers wherever they roam. Like most on this list, it offers a long list of features, all packed into a surprisingly compact space that feels much larger than it actually is. But what truly sets the Tails camper van apart is the mobile bicycle shop ’round the back of the rig. It comes standard with an air compressor, a fold-down work table, and customizable Molle panels to organize all your bike tools on the go. Most surprising, however? There’s room for half a dozen mountain bikes , even with the rear bed made up. The 4WD setup and M-B Sprinter platform ensure you’ll have no problem getting to the nearest single track. Contact for pricing.

Thor Motor Coach Sanctuary: Sleekest camper van

Most camper vans—even the most luxurious camper vans—look and feel like adventure-ready rigs. Thor Motor Coach takes a decidedly different tack with the minimalist Sanctuary. It’s appropriately named, given its sleek exterior and Euro-inspired interior. The monochrome cabin feels like the perfect combination of a Space X rocket and a modern luxury cruise liner. White and gray abound, alongside high-end lighting fixtures, a swivel LCD TV, and large opening windows on all sides. The design even includes a full-featured kitchenette and a stand-up wet bath with a shower, sink, and toilet inside the coach , so you can stay entertained, well-fed, and clean no matter how far off-grid you venture. Starting at $180, 460.

Ford Transit Trail: Best luxury camper van on a budget

There’s no getting around the fact that luxury camper vans often run well into six figures. If you’re looking for something a little more wallet-friendly, Ford has you covered. The brand’s new-for-2023 Transit Trail is a compact, full-featured camper van that punches well above its weight class. It’s entirely customizable with a kitchenette, legit camp furniture, and drillable walls for setting up your own shelving or cabinetry. Plus, you get a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a backup camera, too. The powerplant—a V-6 with 310 horsepower and 400 ft-lbs of torque with four-wheel drive and a 10-speed gearbox—is surprisingly capable, too. It’s biggest selling point, though? Price. You can score one for about one-third of the price of most of the competition. Starting at around $65k .

Boho Old Faithful: Best luxury camper van conversion

If you’re looking for a camper van that goes beyond the generic off-the-rack models offered by many of today’s biggest RV manufacturers, you need a legit luxury camper van conversion . Arizona-based Boho takes standard Ram work vans and turns them into Instagram-worthy works of RV art. The Old Faithful is the company’s most popular model, and it’s easy to see why. The interior features wood paneling and warm lighting throughout, providing a homey, “relaxing in a sauna” vibe. The sleek design is thoughtfully bookended with a kitchenette near the cab and a spacious bedroom at the rear that opens with double doors so you can take in the vistas of your latest National Park campsite . Starting at $40k (plus the cost of the donor van) .

Camper vans—especially luxury camper vans—are a serious investment. Here are the most important things to consider before dropping your six-figure nest egg on a vanlifing rig.

• Size and capacity : Above all else, you need to know that the camper vans you’re shopping for have the square footage to sleep you, your significant other, your kids, your pets, and whoever (or whatever) else you’re planning to take along for the ride. Most off-the-rack (i.e., non-DIY custom builds) rely on some version of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ram ProMaster, or Ford Transit vans. So, the dimensions of all three of those should provide a good starting point for you to shop.
• Features : As with buying a new car, there are dozens of features to consider. Today’s best camper vans, including many of those we recommend above, are tricked out with luxurious kitchenettes, full bathrooms, solar power systems, premium Bluetooth audio, and more. All of these high-end features can easily push the bottom line north of $200,000. Just know that, by forgoing some of these luxuries, you can easily get that figure down closer to $100,000 if you’re shopping on a budget.
• New vs. used : With the popularity of van living, there’s never been a better time to shop for a used camper van if you’re looking to save a bit of money. RVs, in general, depreciate much faster than traditional vehicles, so you can save 50% or more off the sticker price of a new van by buying when others are selling. Just keep in mind that many used vans won’t come with a manufacturer’s warranty, so it pays to be extremely thorough when you inspect the vehicle before buying.
• Insurance : RV insurance can be a little tricky. You’ll need to figure out whether your new van will be an occasional vacation driver or you’re planning to live in it full-time. The answer to this question will determine your insurance needs and the total yearly cost.

Of course, there is a lot more to consider. But these are just a few of the most important upfront considerations. The buying process might seem stressful, but keep your eyes on the prize: the freedom of exploring and potentially living on the open road for the foreseeable future.

Camper vans have come a long (long) way since the OG models your parents and their parents grew up with. Many of today's rigs are built not just for living on the road but for living and working in style — some offer premium features that rival most modern studio apartments. Case in point: Remote Vans.

Each of the three camper van models — Friday, Oasis, and Aegis—is born from a stock Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. Straight off the production line, it's arguably the most capable and tech-forward platform on the market, designed for easy living on the road. But Remote Vans goes well beyond the stock platform, customizing each of the three models to within an inch of its life.

There's almost no end to what you can achieve armed with a length of rope and an arsenal of outdoor knots to tie it together.

You wouldn't take your woodcutting axe without giving it a few practice swings at home, so why would you expect to tie the right knot without practice?

There is an adage among those who don't know what to do with rope: if you can't tie knots, tie lots. If you don't know what you're doing, keep tying until your rope feels secure. It works, sometimes.

Camper Van Or Travel Trailer – Which One Should I Buy?

Camper vans and travel trailers can be great options for those who want to camp in comfort. Although they have much in common, they are very different from each other and it can be difficult deciding on which one to buy.

I researched and looked at both types during my search for a camping solution. I liked a lot of what travel trailers had to offer but the convenience of a camper van was nice as well.

I’ve looked at large travel trailers and small travel trailers and tried to figure out which would be best for me. I have always leaned towards the smaller ones because I like the coziness and the simplicity of keeping it small. I never wanted a huge trailer that would be cumbersome to tow around.

This is what led me to look more at camper vans because of the smallness and the convenience of being able to drive anywhere.

I also loved the idea of being able to custom build a camper van which would make it more affordable than buying a manufactured Class B.

If you find yourself in this position of trying to decide between a trailer or a van, I can show you my research notes and why I chose what I chose in the end.

I understand that deciding on the perfect type of RV can be a difficult process. It’s normal to be unsure since it’s such a large expense. It’s important to make the best decision for yourself and choose the one you’ll actually use and get the most out of.

Let’s compare the two options in a few key areas.

Camper Van VS Travel Trailer

It’s likely that if you are looking between a camper van and a travel trailer, you are looking at mostly small travel trailers. Since small trailers aren’t a lot bigger than what a van offers, this is a fair comparison.

Both require you to live more minimal than you would in a larger motorhome or fifth wheel.

Although the size of some of the smaller trailers can be similar to the size of a camper van, there are a few key areas in which they differ. This is where it becomes easy to decide on which is best for you as long as you know what you want.

Let’s discuss the following key areas.

Cost of ownership Size Liveability Mobility Quality

Cost Of Ownership

Expect to pay: $50,000 – $100,000

A van can be quite expensive if you are looking to purchase a newly manufactured van. Some of the more premium models on the market can be in the $150,000 or more range.

This is a huge expense for anyone looking to purchase a van. Unless this is your primary residence and you have the funds to afford it, this type of purchase doesn’t make much sense for the average consumer. Especially when you consider the small size of a van.

The good news is that there are more affordable options so the high cost mentioned above isn’t always the case. You can purchase brand new Class B vans for around $70,000 and much less than that if you choose to go with a used one.

A used van is a great choice since RVs depreciate. You can get an almost new one for much less than the MSRP or for whatever it was bought for when it was brand new.

The other option is to build your own. You can get an empty van and then turn it into a camper if you have the skillset and interest to do so. If not, you can hire someone to do it for you. The cost for a van of this type would be considerably less than purchasing a new one.

Another cost to consider is maintenance. Not only do you have the maintenance costs of the RV itself but also the van. Although there isn’t a lot of maintenance to the RV portion of the van other than winterizing and making sure it stays leak-free.

You’ll have to get oil changes, tire rotations, tire replacements, and other routine vehicle maintenance. These costs can add up depending on how much you use the vehicle.

Travel Trailer

Expect to pay: $10,000 – $35,000

A travel trailer can be much less than a camper van unless you choose to build your own camper van and buy a cheap, used van. If you choose a newer van or if you buy a pre-manufactured van, you will pay much less for a travel trailer.

However, there are other costs that you must consider if this is the route you go. A trailer has to have a vehicle that can tow it. If you do not currently have a vehicle capable of this, you will have to purchase one and that is an added cost.

With a tow vehicle, it will create wear and tear on that vehicle which may also lead to more maintenance costs.

In my case, during my search, I was focused on purchasing a trailer that had a loaded weight of 5500 lbs or less. My Nissan Frontier with 4.0L V6 engine can tow up to 6500 lbs but I never like to get close to the max on towing weight.

Most small travel trailers that I looked at were below 4000 lbs when fully loaded so it wasn’t a big deal for my vehicle. If I would’ve had to purchase a vehicle to tow a trailer, I wouldn’t even have considered one.

So if the cost is your main concern, travel trailers are likely going to be less expensive. Just don’t forget about the tow vehicle when making the decision.

Camper vans offer a very limited amount of living space and can be among the smallest RVs on the market. The typical van measures from about 19 ft – 25 ft in length from the front bumper to the rear bumper.

With the engine compartment, dashboard, driver and passenger seating taking up space, you are left with a tiny footprint on the inside in which you can live.

Although they are small, they still contain almost everything you could ever need while out on the road. Many of them have full showers, bathrooms, kitchen areas, dining areas, sleeping areas and comfortable seating that allows you to unwind and enjoy.

Camper vans serve a crowd of people who want to take up minimal space but want the convenience of traveling anywhere their heart desires. They don’t want the restrictions that are attached to having a larger camper.

Although small, most offer more space than a van can provide. Small teardrop trailers are smaller than vans but larger teardrop trailers can be even larger than the living area in a van.

Trailers also have options that vans don’t often have and that includes slide outs. These slide outs allow you to slide parts of the trailer out while it is parked to create additional living space. Some aren’t even livable until these sections have been slid out.

With slide-outs, a trailer can be very room and make for a very comfortable living arrangement. You won’t see this feature on the smallest trailers but as you go up in size, this will become an option that you’ll see more of.

Overall, travel trailers provide a good amount of living space for the money that you pay.

Liveability

How easy is it to actually live and spend time in a camper van? One would think that it could get a little claustrophobic spending time in such a small space. However, you might be surprised at just how much space you have in one.

Most Class B vans are cleverly designed to maximize space. Although it will never be like living in a much larger RV, it is quite cozy and fun in my opinion.

I travel in mine with my wife and a small dog and we find it to be quite comfortable. The trade-off is that it is highly versatile and the mobility of it allows you to go to places you couldn’t go with an RV with a larger living space.

Depending on the size of the trailer, they can be quite livable. It’s like pulling a little house around behind your car that has everything that you need. You can cook, stay warm or cool, watch TV, take showers, use the bathroom just like you would at home.

You probably won’t miss any of the comforts of home if you spend time in a travel trailer. Even a small one is designed to have a livable amount of space and is usually set up to maximize that space.

A travel trailer is an obvious choice if you are traveling with a larger family. If you have children, you’ll need the extra space that a trailer can provide over a van.

This is where a camper van will shine over a travel trailer. Camper vans are very versatile and are easy to take wherever you want.

Since the van is an all-in-one solution, you have your vehicle and your home all in one space. You don’t have to hitch up to a trailer and then worry about towing it.

Vans are a huge benefit for those who want to stay small and nimble in their camper and be able to travel and see places that larger RVs can’t.

I’ve never had an issue taking my van anywhere and I feel comfortable driving it anywhere that I have driven my personal mid-sized truck. I can back it into a spot easily and be gone in minutes when it’s time to leave.

Trailers are not as nimble and are more difficult to travel with. Although a small trailer can be easy to tow, it’s still something extra that has to be pulled by your vehicle and it can make you a bit uncomfortable having it behind you.

People who aren’t used to towing trailers and only do it every once in a while can have some anxiety about doing this. There is always that chance that you can turn too sharp and hit something or misjudge how much space you need.

Of course, backing into a spot is difficult for many people and a small campground can be difficult to navigate with a trailer. The bigger the trailer, the more difficult it will be.

If you are considering a small trailer, like a teardrop trailer, read about my comparison to a camper van .

For the most part, the class B motorhomes that I looked at were noticeably higher in quality than were the travel trailers. You would expect them to be higher quality for the price you pay.

Most of the finishes are what you would expect and they just have an overall feel of quality. Some of the more premium-priced ones are even higher in quality.

I care about quality but this may not matter to some people as much. To me, the quality of the parts you can see is an indication of the quality of work that you can’t see.

If I see a low quality, sloppy job done on the shower caulking, for example, I can only imagine the low quality of work that is probably behind the shower walls.

With Class B motorhomes, most of the areas seem to be high quality and I always had a good feeling when looking at them.

During my journey to find a camping solution, one thing stood out as I looked at various travel trailers; the quality is pretty low.

As I walked through trailer after trailer, I noticed the quality was lacking from all the small details. Things like trim not lining up, terrible caulking job, cheap parts, paper-thin walls, etc.

I understand that campers use thinner walls to maintain a lower overall weight but I was amazed during my search that manufacturers could get away with such cheap finishings. It didn’t give me a lot of confidence in purchasing one.

It isn’t like this across the board but a lot of them do not maintain the quality that I like to see in something this expensive.

In the end, I was much happier with the quality and care that I used to build my camper van than I was with any travel trailer that I looked at.

The following video shows some issues you might expect from travel trailers and RVs in general. These issues aren’t always present but it’s good to know what to look for.

Which Is Better?

Ask anyone and you will get a different answer to this question. The one that is better for you may not be better for someone else.

For example, a camper van was better for me because I don’t want the hassle of pulling a trailer. I don’t care how nice the trailer is, I would rather stay in the small space of a van than have to go through the trouble of hauling a trailer all over the place.

That’s my take on it and I’m sure yours is different.

It comes down to what the person wants. If you are looking for more space to live in, you are probably going to be happier with a travel trailer than you would be with a camper van.

On the other hand, a camper van is great for those people who like to travel and see more. It’s great for those who want to be able to drive and not have to worry about any size restrictions since a camper van is small enough to go anywhere.

You are not limited with a camper van like you would be with a larger trailer.

Below, I have outlined some examples of when it would be best to have each type.

Who Should Buy A Camper Van?

A camper van might be a good solution for you if…

• You plan on traveling more and don’t want the worries of size restrictions or the burden of towing a trailer.
• You want to boondock often and stay somewhat stealthy.
• You are camping alone or with one other person and don’t need a lot of space.
• You like the idea of taking less stuff so you can enjoy your journey more.
• You have more money to spend on a camping solution.
• You are looking for something with good fuel economy.
• You are handy and like the idea of building your own camper van.
• You want your driving area connected to your living space so you don’t have to exit the vehicle.

Who Should Buy A Travel Trailer?

A travel trailer will probably be a better solution for you if…

• You have a family and need more space or you are just someone who likes having a lot of space.
• You plan on staying at RV parks most of the time. If you plan on pulling into an RV park and parking for the week, a trailer will serve you well.
• You have less money to spend.
• You already have a good towing vehicle or are willing to purchase one.
• You don’t mind towing a trailer behind a vehicle.
• You have a good place to store the trailer when not in use.
• You don’t mind exiting your vehicle to access your living area.
• You want to be able to disconnect from your trailer at an RV park and have a personal vehicle to drive.

Bottom Line

A camper van and a travel trailer might appeal to the same people but they will likely disagree on some of the main features. If you are looking for a home away from home that provides the space you need for you and your family, a travel trailer is your answer.

If you are looking for a vehicle that will take you to places far and wide and give you a cozy, safe place to stay, a camper van could be the answer.

One isn’t necessarily better than the other and it will all depend upon what you aim to use it for.

If you are stuck deciding on what type to pursue, the best thing to do is what I did when I was in the same position. I went searching my local area at RV dealerships and looked at dozens of different models of each type.

Doing this will allow you to get a feel for what it is like inside each type and you’ll start to learn which is best for you.

Nothing can take the place of seeing them with your own eyes so make a plan to step foot inside each of these and determine which one you’ll go with.
