10 Best Adventure Vans Of 2023

If you’re nursing a bite by the wanderlust bug, the best home base for your wanderings might just be an adventure bus. After all, the only thing better than a road trip is doing it with the comforts of home in tow!

Today, we’re taking a close look at ten of the best adventure vans we’ve seen out on the road or on the Internet. If you’re planning an off-grid adventure, peruse our list for ideas to complete your own camper conversion . 

The Best Adventure Vans for Off Grid Living

Imagine pulling up to a beautiful view, putting it in park, and really savouring it as long as you want, cup of tea in hand. That’s the adventure van lifestyle, that allows off-grid adventures to continue indefinitely. 

But which is the best adventure van for you? It all depends on your budget, lifestyle, and destination. The ultimate camper will look different for everyone; it may be an all terrain camper , compact camper van , or maybe a stealthy pop top camper . 

Regardless of your situation, there’s a solution out there for you. To help you get the wheels turning, we’re looking at ten of the gnarliest off-road camper conversions to serve as the best van for your next adventure. 

1. Storyteller Overland MODE

First up on our list of the best adventure vans is the MODE 4×4 by Storyteller Overland . This epic Mercedes Sprinter conversion  embodies the six essential qualities of an off-grid home on wheels: it’s safe, simple, fun, flexible, rugged, and most importantly, ready to go.

With these factors as the basis of the build, you’re getting a vehicle that’s purpose-built for all stripes of life. Whether you’re barreling down dirt tracks or just making a run to the grocery store, the MODE camper is up to it.

Inside, the Overland MODE has everything you need to live comfortably. There is enough storage onboard for all the gear you’ll need to live life on the wild side. Beneath the bed at the back is a “garage” area large enough to store travel bikes, climbing gear or blow up paddle-boards.

If you need even more space, then the bed can fold away, allowing more storage area when in transit. In the living space, you’ll find a galley kitchen, a seating area that converts into a second bed, storage, and a toilet. There is even a hidden camper shower system, giving you the luxury of a hot indoor or outdoor shower after a day on the trail!

The Storyteller Overland MODE would make a great van for any vandwellers wanting to upgrade to a monster camper off-road rig. 

2. Winnebago Revel 4×4

The Winnebago Revel 4×4 is another all terrain camper that has earned a spot on our list of the best adventure vans of 2020. It’s chock-full of off-road capabilities that allow you to easily take the road less traveled.

The Revel 4×4 features a rugged roof rack to transport any adventure gear that won’t fit inside the camper van. You can access it via ladder, which is where you’ll also find solar panels to fuel your gadgets on the go. Finally, an electronic awning doubles your living space and gives you some shade from the elements. 

One of the most unique features of this adventure bus is the power lift bed. This allows you to raise the comfortable double bed to the ceiling of the van. At the press of a button, you open up a massive 140 cubic ft. garage, perfect for all your van life essentials.

The rest of the interior clearly keeps adventure firmly in mind; the flooring, cabinets, wall coverings, and seats are all made out of easy-to-clean materials, so don’t worry too much how wet or muddy you are when you get back to your home base. As well as the bed, this camper features a full kitchen with hob, sink and fridge, seating areas with table and front swivel seats, gear closet and wet bath, as well as overhead storage.

The Winnebago Revel 4×4 starts at $163,292.   

3. Adventure Truck XT 

Next up on our list of the best adventure vans we have the Adventure Truck XT . Aptly named, these off road trucks are built with a long expedition in mind and are perfect if you’re planning a long overland trip to remote corners of the earth.

The Adventure Truck XT is ideal for living off the grid long term, as they can be fitted out and upgraded to suit your needs. Whether your camper base model is a pick-up truck or something a little larger, the modular Adventure Truck XT kit attaches directly to the vehicle. 

The spacious interior of the Adventure Truck XT is perfect for full-time truck life . There’s enough room to compare directly to a small apartment!

An over-cab sleeping area allows the main space of the camper to be utilised as a living space. And the camper comes complete with a full kitchen, bathroom, a dining area that converts into an extra bed, plus heaps of storage.

The Adventure Truck XT also has heating and air conditioning that runs off of the solar electrical set up. This camper can even be fitted with a washing machine, which is perfect if you plan on living off grid for months on end.

Prices for the Adventure Truck XT start at $368,000.

4. Mitsubishi 4WD Terrain 

Small campers have many benefits; they’re often more affordable, more fuel-efficient, and are easy to drive and park. Pair the benefits of a compact driving experience with a full 4×4 conversion, and you have the perfect adventure campervan for exploring those off-road tracks. 

Enter a treat for the small van fan, the Mitsubishi 4WD Terrain .

This Mitsubishi camper van is built on a Delica base, with a switchable 4WD option to give you full control on and off the road. 

While the Mitsubishi 4WD Terrain may be small, it still has room to sleep and seat four–ideal for traveling with kids or friends.

Two can sleep on the double bed in the pop-top roof, with two on the rock and roll bed downstairs. That rock and roll bed also doubles as a seat-belted seating area, providing a safe space for extra passengers.

The kitchenette can be used to whip up campervan recipes either inside or out, meaning you can create delicious meals on the go no matter what the weather throws at you.

This great little camper is affordable too, coming in at a starting price of £27,995. 

5. Cascade by Outside Van

We’re halfway through our list of the best adventure vans, and at number five we have the Cascade by Outside Van ! These folks are the masters of custom vans , letting you control exactly what you would like in your conversion.

A Ford Transit chassis constitutes the base for this camper. It comes complete with a 4×4 conversion, tyre and wheel upgrades, safari roof rack, extra exterior lighting, ladders, and an L-track mounting system. Outside Van have also mounted a roof tent to the top of the camper, creating an extra ‘bedroom’ perfect for kids or friends to come on the road with you. 

Inside the camper is plush yet rugged, with all of the comforts of home ready and waiting for your next road trip. At the back of the van is a large double bed with a garage storage area below.

This storage tucks away from the rest of the van behind the two extra passenger seats at the foot of the bed. Beyond the seats is the kitchen which includes a sink, hob, fridge, and storage space.

We love the materials and colours used in this van; it stands out from the crowd and looks more homely than many off road campers  that prioritise function over form.

Prices vary depending on conversion, so contact Outside Van for more information!   

6. Zion by Roadtrek

At number six on our list of the best adventure vans, we have Zion from Roadtrek . The Zion is built on a Ram Promaster chassis, seats up to five, and can sleep three (unlucky if you’re passengers four and five!)

This build is perfect if you are looking for a more versatile interior space in your campervan and need less storage for gear.

The bed at the back of this camper van converts into a large seating area, with two comfortable bench seats running along both walls. These seats are perfect for lounging around in the day, with more space to entertain friends (or keep your kids occupied on a rainy day). At night, the benches can be flattened into a comfortable double bed, with a single bed set up in the cab are. 

Beyond the bed is a kitchen and lots of storage cupboards for clothes and other essentials. If you do need to carry gear on board, this can be stored in the central aisle of the camper and removed once you park up.

Roadtrek’s Zion camper is great for trips all year round with a propane furnace to keep your warm in the colder months. After all, a good heating system in a camper is essential to stop the cold becoming a barrier to getting outdoors.

The Zion camper van starts at $101,681.

7. Project M by Four Wheel Campers

Pop up campers are perfect for anyone who just wants to get out into the wild and isn’t too bothered about having all the bells and whistles. And that’s exactly what you get with the Project M Truck Camper by Four Wheel Campers: Simplicity.

Moreover, this is an affordable adventure vessel for exploring the world, ideal for the outdoorsy (but cash-strapped) younger generation. The Project M slides onto your truck bed, so if your vehicle is compatible, there is no need to splash out on another truck. This drastically undercuts the cost of buying an RV, making road tripping more accessible to all.

The Project M gives you an over-cab bed, which can be extended to comfortably sleep two while the roof is popped open. In the most basic model, this is the main feature of the Project M–a true adventure crash pad!

The rest of the interior space is dedicated to storing your gear, or building out your conversion piece by piece. Optional extras include pre-wiring for power and lights, a roof rack for even more gear and L-track on the interior walls.

Four Wheel Campers ‘ Project M starts at just $8,995 and is a great base to use to be able to get outside. 

8. Chinook Countryside

The Chinook Countryside  is a luxury RV built to be the best on the road. This swish campervan may not be to everyone’s taste, but if you’re looking for a bit of decadence, then this is the camper for you.

Sporting cream leather seating and glossy veneer cabinetry, the interior of the Chinook Countryside feels like a luxury yacht. There’s plenty of seating for extra passengers, and the bench at the back folds down into a bed when it’s time for a snooze.

A full bathroom takes up one side of the camper, complete with a porcelain toilet, shower, and a retractable clothesline. Opposite this is the kitchen, where you can whip up anything from a quick snack to a full three-course meal. The kitchen comprises of a dual microwave/convection oven/grill, two-burner cooktop, sink, and fridge.

The Countryside’s Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis can be upgraded to a 4×4 conversion, allowing you to combine luxury with the dirt road. What’s not to love!

9. Sportsmobile Classic 

We’re coming to the end of our list of the best adventure vans, and at number nine we have my all-time-favourite: the Sportsmobile Classic 4×4. This is a great vehicle if you like your road trips with no limitations.

Built on a 4×4 Ford Cutaway chassis, this heavy-duty adventure van’s body is moulded with a steel-reinforced fibreglass shell for maximum durability. And, this camper has a complete and extensive off-road conversion; you can travel over dirt roads, up mountains, through ravines, and across any terrain!

For all its muscle, the Ford Cutaway is a relatively small vehicle. To make up for its compact size, Sportsmobile include a pop top penthouse roof. There’s more than enough space to stand up and move around inside.

The interior layout is customisable depending on what your needs are. Nevertheless, conversions typically include a full kitchen, a cosy sleeping area, dining area, plus plenty of space to store gear and added extras.    

10. Timber Den by Outside Van 

Our last camper on our list of best adventure vans is the Timber Den by Outside Van . This another excellent example of the kind of custom off-grid-paradise that the company can produce.

The Timber Den is the ultimate gear-hauling camper, with space to carry an extensive amount of equipment inside–including a motorbike! This comes thanks to an open-plan layout, with minimal ‘home comforts’. Meanwhile on the exterior, there are surf/SUP racks, plus solar panels for off-grid power. 

Aside from the storage space, the interior of this campervan features two different sleeping layouts: bunk beds or a double at the back. The double bed is ideal when there is enough room around the gear; but, the bunk beds work just fine if you need the space for all of your snowboards or skis.

The camper doesn’t have a full kitchen, but it does come with a fridge for storing tasty snacks. If you want a suitable base that is well-equipped for all manner of outdoor sports, from then the Timber Den is for you. 

Final Thoughts…

There are so many different adventure vans out there to suit your individual lifestyle and budgets. While the vans on this list may all vary in shape, style, size, and cost, they do have one thing in common: they will help you to get off the sofa and out there into the world! 

Sure, choosing the right adventure van is important; but not as important as the journey that you will find yourself on when you’re out on the road. So what are you waiting for? Choose a van and start exploring!

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.

Best With a Bathroom and Shower: Thor Motor Coach Sanctuary

Best for $50,000: caravan outfitter free bird, best for families: winnebago boldt, best for winter road trips: sportsmobile sprinter 4×4, best conversion: boho old faithful, best for diy couples: ford transit trail.

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.

The 12 Best Travel Vans for a Family of 4

Families looking to mix up their old holiday routines and escape the constraints of everyday life should abandon the familiar four walls of their homes and trade them in for a pair of wheels. Road tripping is one of the most popular ways to explore the country, and there are endless destinations to explore. Nothing is worse than cramped quarters and a diet consisting solely of gas station food – so finding the right vehicle is critical for any successful holiday on the road. 

There are endless options when it comes to van life for families, with hundreds of different makes, models, and amenities to choose from. It may seem a bit daunting to sift through all the styles, so we’ve rounded up the 12 best travel vans for a family of 4 (or less!).

All that’s left for you to do is plan your trip, pack your bags, and decide who gets to ride shotgun!

1. Volkswagen California Camper Van

Website: https://www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/en/new-vehicles/california.html

When it comes to travel vans, Volkswagen has had their name in the game for decades. While images of retro hippie vans clad in vibrant colors may come to mind when you think about Volkswagen vans, the company has changed along with the times and the California Camper Van has everything a family of 4 will need for a successful road tripping experience. 

The California Camper Van comes in four different base models, but no matter which design you pick you’re guaranteed a set of standard features like a pop-up roof, high-quality interior fittings, and driver assistance systems, to name just a few.

The van’s space-saving design allows two adults and two children to sleep comfortably, and there’s also some trunk space for any camping gear or luggage you may have with you. There’s even a removable camping table and chairs that can fold down and out of the way, making picnicking a breeze no matter where you are. 

While the Volkswagen California Camper Van isn’t the biggest, fastest, or fanciest of travel vans, it certainly is one of the most affordable, and the high-quality engineering is sure to last you for decades.

One thing that hasn’t changed about the Volkswagen van after all these years is the freedom and independence it symbolizes – so families of 4 looking for a no-nonsense approach to life on the road will find little to complain about with any of the California models.

2. Hymer Aktiv 2.0

Another famous name in the travel van game is Hymer, a German company that has been building camper vans since 1953. Hymer is known for its customizable pop-tops and high-quality German engineering, all at a competitive price point. The Hymer Aktiv 2.0 is one of the best travel vans for a family of 4, with plenty of room for two adults and two kids to sleep comfortably. 

The Aktiv 2.0 is built with solid bones, including a 249 extended wheelbase and a full stability program that includes engine drag control, wind and sway assist, rollover mitigation, and electronic stability control to keep your family safe no matter the conditions. 

The inside of the travel van is just as well equipped as the outside, with a pop-top for extra standing and sleeping room, an air conditioning and heating system, and even a built-in bathroom with a toilet, a flip-down sink, and a small vanity. You’ll also find a 24-inch TV complete with HDMI hookup should you wish to have a movie or game night, in addition to multiple charging points and an inverter. 

Once you’re ready to enjoy a family meal, the two cab seats swivel around to face the dinette area and booth seat, allowing for four to sit comfortably at the table. The table can stay down while driving – and if anyone needs to get any work done while on the road, the table doubles as a desk. 

While the Hymer Aktiv 2.0 offers many great features, it’s still a relatively small van. This makes it easy to maneuver, and the 3.6-liter gas engine gets remarkably good gas mileage. 

3. MOD Vans CV1

Website: https://www.modvans.com/

If you’re looking for a versatile and low-maintenance travel van for your family of 4, the MOD Vans CV1 is without a doubt one of your best options. Not only is it good for hauling the kiddos to and from school and soccer practice, but on the weekend you can take this camper van out on the open road for some good old-fashioned family fun. 

Thanks to its low center of gravity, off-road capabilities, and advanced driving assistance features, the CV1 is a breeze to drive and easy to park. Although it is smaller in size than some of the other family travel vans on our list, the imaginative design means you won’t have to sacrifice any of the RV-like amenities, including:

• A modern interior, built with a sleek and functional design
• A dual burner propane stove
• A deep sink
• A mini-fridge
• Additional foldable counter space
• A small dining area with a table and seats for two 

It might surprise you that a van of this size can comfortably sleep 4, but thanks to the pop-top roof and removable bed, overnight stays are achievable (and comfortable!). There’s also plenty of roof space for kayaks, bikes, or surfboards, and there’s even room for a toilet if you want to experience van living in its truest form. 

The CV1 has a few options for factory customization and most of the RV components are removable, making it easy to convert back into your everyday vehicle after a weekend away. 

4. Knaus Boxlife 630 ME

Website: https://www.knaus.com/en-int/camper-vans-cuv/boxlife-630/layout-data/630-me/standard-equipment/

One of the best value travel vans on our list is the Knaus Boxlife 660 ME, especially for those who are looking for comfortable sleeping areas. This is actually the main attraction to the Knaus Boxlife, and not only can it comfortably sleep families of 4, but there’s actually space for up to 7 overnight guests in this versatile van. 

It’s not just small cots with flimsy mattresses, either. In the back of the van, you’ll find the largest sleeping area, with a queen-size bed in the “roof” area and another flip-down sofa bed that sleeps 2 right beneath it. This is the perfect arrangement for a family of 4, but if you have additional guests or someone who wants a little extra privacy, the main area of the van boasts a dinette that can convert into a single bed and a lift-away bed that can be squeezed into the front for 2 more people. 

The practical design of the Knaus Boxlife 630 ME also features tons of clever storage systems along with anything else you’d hope to find in a home away from home including a spacious kitchen, a bathroom with a toilet, sink, and shower, and the aforementioned dinette with seating for up to 4. 

Perhaps the best part about this travel van is that the base price is extremely affordable, especially when you consider all of the top-notch features that are included. 

5. Winnebago Mercedes Benz Revel 4×4

Website: https://www.winnebago.com/models/product/motorhomes/camper-van/revel

Adventurous families of 4 looking for a vehicle that can keep up with their lifestyle should look no further than the Winnebago Mercedes Benz Revel 4×4. This rock-solid travel van is built adventure-ready, with a 3-liter turbo engine, 325 lbs/ft of torque, and plenty of room for any and all of your recreational gear. You could park this puppy almost anywhere, and the four-wheel drive means off-roading is always on the table. 

In between adventures, you can spread out and relax inside the spacious interior of the van. The Winnebago Revel is so comfortable that you may find it hard to leave!

The power lift bed makes it easy to get a good night’s sleep and stow the bed away when you need more storage. The only downside is that families of 4 will need to pack a tent or some other sleeping arrangement for the other two family members.

The dinette area is complete with cozy bench seating, and the captain chairs swivel around to provide a perfect dining area for four. Of course, you could always enjoy your meals in the great outdoors thanks to the clever flip-out table located on the outside of the van. You won’t even need a bonfire to cook off-grid meals, as the kitchen area of the van is equipped with a sink, water purifier, mini-fridge, and storable induction cooktop, all powered by an impressive electrical system that gets its juice from the solar panels on the roof. 

6. RB Components Sawtooth Touring Van

Website: https://rbcomponents.com/products/sawtooth-04

Another one of the best travel vans for a family of 4 is the RB Components Sawtooth Touring Van. This van has all the bells and whistles, and you’ll find that there’s no need for customization in this fully loaded vehicle. Whether you’re embarking on a short camping trip near home or a cross-country adventure, this van will check all the boxes. 

The inside is equipped with a large fresh water tank, a bathroom (with a toilet and shower), a full kitchen, and two comfortable dining areas complete with comfortable leather seating. There’s also plenty of storage space for any gear or luggage you might have with you, and there’s even a small closet area to hang up clothes.

The second dining area converts into double sleeping bunks, allowing families of 4 to sleep comfortably. The downside of the sleeping area is that it does take some time to manually set up, but once complete, a good night’s sleep is almost guaranteed. 

The van’s electricity is powered by integrated rooftop solar panels, and there’s also additional storage space up top if you need more room for your gear. Other exterior features of the Sawtooth Touring Van include a full-sized awning, a built-in BBQ, and top and bottom front light bars. There’s not much not to love about this fully equipped vehicle, though the price point certainly does reflect all of its top-notch features.

7. Fiat Ducato Sunlight Cliff 600 Camper Van

Website: https://www.fiatcamper.com/en/product/fiat-ducato-camper-van

The Fiat Ducato Sunlight Cliff 600 Camper Van is the perfect home away from home for families of 4, and its small yet spacious design makes it one of the easiest travel vans to maneuver. There are also over 600 different layouts (hence the name), so those looking to customize to perfection will find a good option in this travel van. 

Some of the standard features that make this base a popular one include its square shape (which allows you to utilize every last inch of space), the superior handling and turning radius, and the comprehensive roadside assistance that is available in over 50 different countries. 

The inside of the van is just as thoughtfully designed as the outside with a refrigerator mounted at chest height, a built-in washroom with swivel taps, and plenty of space for bikes or any other outdoor gear you might be hauling.

The only downside to the Fiat camper van is that it can only sleep three comfortably, but if you have a tent or hammock with you (or if you don’t plan on sleeping in the van at all) this isn’t a complete deal breaker when it comes to traveling with a family of 4. 

8. DoubleBack Camper Van

Website: https://www.doubleback.co.uk/

One of the most unique conversions in the travel van industry is this design by DoubleBack. While pop-tops are fairly common for camper vans, this pull-out feature is truly revolutionary. Nicknamed “the Swiss Army knife of vans”, this custom build allows for impressive living and sleeping space without the inconvenience of driving a large vehicle. 

With just the press of a button, the standard size VW 2.5 TDI Transporter extends into a 6-foot sleeping pod that can hold up to 900 pounds of gear, furniture, and humans. DoubleBack ensures that you’ll get the best of both worlds with this nifty van, and the pop-top opens up into an additional sleeping space – making this vehicle perfect for a family of 4. 

The main van area features a two-seater bench with a fold-down table, and a kitchen area with a sink, refrigerator, and plenty of storage space. Once the pod expands, an additional living area is created which includes even more seating and table space. This versatile design is perfect for those who want the space of an RV but don’t want the hassle of driving a large vehicle. 

9. Kompanja Renault Trafic Camper

Website: https://www.kompanja.de/

Not only is this conversion camper van by Kompanja extremely sleek and stylish, but it’s also one of the best travel vans for families of 4. While almost every aspect of the vehicle is customizable, the base attributes offer more than enough for families to travel in comfort. 

The boxy shape affords more room than many of the other models on our list, especially when it comes to sleeping space. The pop-top can comfortably sleep 2, while the additional pull-out bed is perfect for pairs who love to snooze under the open sky. One of the main selling points of this travel van is the outdoor projector, which takes family movie nights to a whole new level. 

There is also a slide-out kitchen (complete with a 35L refrigerator) and table, which allows you to enjoy delicious home-cooked meals during your travels.

If the weather isn’t cooperating, you can enjoy a game of cards at the removable indoor dining table, and the whole family can gather around this area thanks to the swivel capabilities of the two captain chairs.

This van is a dream come true for those looking for an indoor space that allows you to enjoy the best of the great outdoors, and you’ll find tons of storage space for any gear you may be hauling with you. 

10. This Moving House – Bespoke Vehicle Conversions

Website: https://www.thismovinghouse.co.uk/jubel-explorer/

For some, customizing van interiors is more art than it is sciencem- and the folks over at This Moving House certainly have created a few masterpieces over the past few years. Families looking for a truly one-of-a-kind travel van will be hard-pressed to find a better option. Whether you’re looking to travel on the weekends or try out full-time van life, these customized builds will give you everything you’re looking for and more.  

Every van conversion is completely unique, but the process for building your dream van is almost always the same. You’ll first need to work with the company to source a vehicle for the conversion (usually a Mercedes Sprinter or something similar), and then you’d describe your wants and needs. The designers get to work on creating the van of your dreams. 

One of the signature design aspects of these bespoke vehicle conversions is the sleeping arrangement, made up of a double bed for the adults and two single pods for the youngsters. This clever arrangement is as practical as it is cozy, giving everyone their own private space on extended trips in the van. The stairs leading up to the pods double as a storage space, and you’ll find additional room for storing clothes and gear underneath the double bed. 

The kitchen area features more beautiful design aspects, including a belfast style sink, a double burner propane stovetop, a 70-liter fridge, and clever storage spaces for all your cooking essentials. You can enjoy meals at the table in front of the interchangeable seating row, and the two captain chairs swivel around so families can dine all together.  

Other features of these dreamy van conversions include:

• A stowable toilet
• A wet storage area
• Pull-out storage in the back
• 12v electrics throughout

As each conversion is incredibly unique, you can expect to wait up to a year for your van to be complete and a hefty price tag to go with it. 

11. Sportsmobile Mercedes Benz 4×4 Sprinter

Website: https://sportsmobile.com/mercedes-benz-4×4-sprinter/

Families who enjoy going well off the beaten path will find one of the best travel van options to be the Sportsmobile Mercedes Benz 4×4 Sprinter conversion. With 325lb-ft torque, 188 hp, a five-speed automatic transmission, and a raised frame, this van can handle virtually any condition you put it through. 

While the inside may not be as outfitted as some of the other models on our list, it does offer plenty of space for families of 4 to stretch out and relax during their time on the road.

The pop-top allows for plenty of headspace and makes for a cozy sleeping area, all while economizing the “downstairs” space for custom features like bathrooms, kitchens, additional sleeping areas, and anything else your heart desire. The sky’s the limit when it comes to customizing this bad boy! 

12. Suncamper Santa Cruz Motorhome

Website: https://suncampermotorhomes.com.au/motorhomes/santa-cruz/

To attain the highest degree of luxury in a travel van for a family of 4, you may want to consider purchasing something a bit bigger than the standard models. While not technically a travel van, the Suncamper Santa Cruz Motorhome is one of the best options for hitting the road, especially for those looking for comfort and style. 

More reminiscent of a 5-star hotel than a home on wheels, the Suncamper boasts high-quality features that are unmatched in the travel van game:

• One of the best areas in the motorhome is the “bedroom”, complete with a comfy queen-size bed, mood lighting, and a TV.
• Just next to this prime sleeping area you’ll find a full bathroom with impressive lighting, a swivel toilet, vanity, sink, backlit mirror, and full-sized shower. There’s even a washer mounted to the wall in this area, proving that no detail has been missed for life on the road. 
• The kitchen area is equally awe-inspiring, and starting the day with a coffee from the integrated pop-up coffee machine will certainly get you started on the right foot.
• You’ll also be able to cook up delicious family meals thanks to the full cooking range, oven, microwave, and massive storage spaces.
• If that wasn’t enough, there’s an additional kitchen area on the outside of the motorhome, complete with an extra cooktop, fridge, and sink.
• You can also pop out the awning, pull out the table and chairs, and switch on the outdoor TV to enjoy this perfect entertaining area fully. 

The dinette inside is a great place to enjoy yourselves if the weather isn’t cooperating, and after a full day of traveling, this area pulls out into an additional sleeping space for the young ones in your group. There’s even another TV here if you want to enjoy a movie night.

This much luxury doesn’t come cheap – but if you can afford it, this might just be your best option when it comes to traveling with your family.

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.

Appreciate the recommendation. Let me try it out.

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.

February 15, 2021at10:11 am , ZX Macman said:

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.

Adventure: 15 Best Camper Vans for the Mobile Traveller

We have compiled a list of all the best camper vans on the market to help you choose which is best for you and your adventurous spirit, but first, it’s best to know all the accessories available, from luxury beds to fully functional kitchens.

Choosing the Best Camper Van For You

From mega off-road monsters, stylish luxury sleepers, and minimalistic compact campers, you have lots to choose from. There are a few key considerations to make when choosing a camper van to fit your lifestyle and budget:

• Size: Camper vans come both big and small, with plenty of middle ground to choose from as well. You should consider exactly how much space you need by estimating how many people will be traveling and how much gear you need, including necessities, personal items, and recreational supplies. Camper vans typically sleep anywhere from 2 to 6 people, and will have seating arrangements fit to match the sleeping capacity. Look for creative storage options, such as storage underneath the retractable awning or campers that utilize crawl space, which will help you feel less cramped.
• Amenities: You can enjoy all the luxurious amenities you have at home, like your usual kitchen appliances, climate control, advanced technology, solar power, and more, or you can opt for something more basic, depending on your needs.
• Gas Mileage: You can expect the gas mileage in a camper van to be less than that of your family car or personal sedan, but it doesn’t all have to be bad. Some models have mileage ratings as high as 20 mpg, while others are considerable low. To cut down on gas costs, consider models with an alternate energy source, like solar panels.
• Appearance: Camper vans are built onto pre-made chassis’s, so the exterior design depends heavily upon the chassis used. The Mercedes-Benz 144 chassis is a popular and common choice to many camper van builds, but you can find options that utilize Dodge, Ford, Fiat, Volkswagen, and other models, too.

Our Favorite Camper Vans

A camper van may be the perfect addition if your family loves to travel, but if you’ve never bought one before, it’s likely you don’t know where to start. Every model is intensely different, giving you a range of options to choose from. Like everything, though, some camper vans are better than others. For help choosing a camper van that is durable and built to last, with quality interior and amenities, consider our list of favorites. These options range from the biggest and baddest, to the most compact and luxurious models on the market, and none of them will let you down.

Hymercar Campervan

Hymercar is a unique company that allows you to choose from several build options and chassis’s, but perhaps their most popular option is the Hymercar Free on a fiat chassis. This model includes all the basic necessities, like a bathroom, kitchenette with refrigerator and freezer, and living space that easily converts to a sleeping space, which sleeps up to four people. The Grand Oak furniture finish gives a clean, modern feel to the inside, and you can choose from another Fiat model or the Mercedes-Benz model, depending on your aesthetic preferences.

Earthroamer XV-HD

This camper “van” is built for being off the road, but stylish enough for a highway stroll, too. It’s designed to be tough, with a King Ranch trim, a V8 Turbo Diesel engine, and 330 horsepower. This is also a great option if you need a lot of space and capacity for your travel. The Earthroamer XV-HD holds 250 gallons of fresh water and 115 gallons of fuel, so you have to stop less during your trip. The 20,000 watt hours and optional 2,100 watt solar power will help you sustain life in the great outdoors for quite some time. These super duty vehicles are built to custom order and several different floor plans are available, so you can choose how many people you’d like to sleep and all the amenities you’d like to be included. Earthroamer is based in Colorado and built in the USA .

Sportsmobile Ultimate Adventure Vehicle

This camper van is built for those who love the outdoors and have no limits as to where they may go. Its heavy duty exterior is built to last, and includes a list of upgrades to make your off-road experience all the easier, like a lift kit for extra clearance, suspension swap options, an upgraded 4×4 engine, and a roof rack capable of hauling multiple kayaks, bikes , and more. Enjoy plenty of interior conveniences, too, like a full kitchen with refrigerator, freezer, and cooktop, plenty of counter top and storage space, and a comfortable, convertible sitting and sleeping area that sleeps up to four people. A small dining area allows just as many people to easily enjoy meals, but since this Ultimate Adventure Vehicle can take you to places you’ve never been, you may find that you’re spending more and more time outdoors.

Winnebago Paseo

This roomy camper van is designed and built by Winnebago, one of the first trusted suppliers of quality RV’s. The camper is built onto a Ford Transit chassis, so you get strength and durability combined with plenty of space to move about. The back third of the van is completely customizable at your will, and you can choose from up to seven different daytime or nighttime seating options using the Flex Bed technology. You will also enjoy all the benefits of the Ford EcoBoost engine, so you can expect to get pretty good gas mileage and consistent performance that will take you wherever you want to go.

Weekender Mercedes Sprinter by Midwest Automotives

The Weekender uses a Mercedes Sprinter Chassis to create a stylish, but incredibly functional camper van. This sports van, designed by Midwest Automotives, is loaded with every luxury you could need in a travel van. Enjoy easy meal times provided by the microwave oven and compact refrigerator. Other modern conveniences you can enjoy on the go include a small bathroom with a shower, galley, wide screen televisions with cable access, internet access, and a premium sound system. The dinette area converts into a sleeping area around the size of a queen sized bed. All of your electric is run through a high powered lithium battery, which means you burn less gasoline, so you can travel on.

  Purchase

Outside Van Pop

This camper van, built on a low-roof Mercedes 144 chassis, includes a pop up roof for additional head room, which makes it easy to move about inside the luxurious living space. It is small and compact, but definitely not cramped. Outside Van offers a slew of custom options, including features like a 12V refrigerator, roof-top air conditioner, multiple cabinetry options, hanging shelves, drop down televisions, bunk beds, and more, so you can easily customize the Pop van to your liking. The Pop van can easily sleep up to four people, and depending on your chosen options, can sleep up to six.

Peugeot Rifter 4×4 Concept

If you are looking for something a bit more casual than a bulky van, this Rifter 4×4 Concept is a modern and adventurous take on a stylish SUV. Don’t worry, though, there was still plenty of room for them to add in all of your camping essentials, as well as an 8 cm lift kit to help you clear any obstacles in your path, heavy duty tires that can withstand any terrain, a LED light bar, and a splash guard behind the radiator grille on the front. Peugeot has multiple Concept vehicles, all of which are built to take on any adventure you choose.

Airstream Autobahn

Airstream prides themselves on creating the most luxury camper vans on the market. This Autobahn is built onto a 4×4 Mercedes-Benz chassis and includes tons of features that make this vehicle top of the line in design and comfort. The inside is customizable, with three different color options for the leather interior and multiple seating options. Each passenger seat can enjoy their own climate control, plenty of space, and a personal USB charger, and you can keep up with all of your modern needs with the luxury Corian refrigerator top. The V6 turbo diesel engine lets you enjoy an impressive 18 mpg on the highway, so you can keep on the go with less stops in between.

Doubleback Van

This ultimate camper van, built onto a Volkswagen 2.5 TDI Transporter chassis, quickly transforms into an extended sleeping module. The rear pod extends an extra six feet, while the roof tilts upwards to allow for plenty of head room. The van’s body is built from aerospace-spec technology, so you can rest assured that you have safety and durability to meet top standards. Each model is hand built and have a few customizable options, including multiple different finishes and options for interior design. Enjoy a comfortable double bed and multiple daytime seating options, as well as a small kitchenette and dining area. The van can easily support up to 900 pounds of extra gear and personal belongings, so don’t be afraid to pack whatever you might need.

Volkswagen California

From the trusted German engineering at Volkswagen, you can enjoy this compact camper van and all its top-notch safety standards. Despite its small size, it easily converts to sleep up to four people, includes a full miniature kitchen, a dinette area, plenty of convenient storage options, folding mirrors, and camping table and chairs to use under the retractable awning. Enjoy interior climate control, LED headlights for optimal vision, and a pop-up top for extra head room. The California may look like a van, but it’s like a miniature home on wheels, with all of the comforts you’re used to.

Outside Van Apex

The Apex model by Outside Van allows you to choose from all of their premium options, but this model is built specifically to help you enjoy your outdoors experience. Enjoy everything you need for easy off-roading, like heavy duty A/T tires , a solar package, stealth kit, and more. Like many of their other vans, the Apex is built on a 4×4 Mercedes-Benz 144 Sprinter chassis, so you can expect the inside to be as luxurious as the outside. The inside has a convertible sleeping/sitting area that has roof for at least four people to ride or rest, and the luxurious interior built is impressive and inviting for guests.

Fiat Ducato

Fiat is iconic for its compact cars, but they build a pretty mean camping machine as well. The Ducato focuses on ergonomics, and fiat created a camping solution that is easily mobile and ultimately comfortable. The turning radius is rated best-in-class and the electricity is run through a stabilized circuit, so you don’t have to worry about any surges or power outages while on the go. Enjoy plug-in USB charging ports,a 5-inch touch screen UConnect radio with AUX port, built in TomTom satellite navigation, and even more options for a technologically advanced adventure. Enjoy a 24-hour fiat camper support line in 51 countries and 15 different language, so you’re never alone, no matter how far you go.

Outside Van Unicorn

If you’re looking for a mix of great design and heavy duty off-roading power, you’ve just found it. The Unicorn by Outside Van is perhaps the most design oriented camper van on the market and features a few gorgeous additions that are definitely easy on the eye, like all natural bamboo cabinetry, high output LED light bars, and custom color selections. A few other luxuries take comfort to the next level, like the Custom Thermo Fit mattress , A/C, and auxiliary seating. As always, the Unicorn is fashioned on a 4×4 Mercedes-Benz base, so it’s built for style, comfort, and durability.

Roadtrek SS Agile

The SS Agile by Roadtrek is both compact and ultimately elegant, featuring spacious bed and bath areas with a stand up/sit down shower. The bed comfortably sleeps two, while the dinette area seats up to five people. Choose from several different packages to include a high capacity hot water system, solar package, wireless internet access, and more. The SS Agile is built on a compact sized Mercedes chassis, but includes plenty of storage space to make traveling as comfortable and organized as possible.

Winnebago Revel 4×4

Another option by the trusted camper company, Winnebago, is the Revel 4×4, which is structurally designed to withstand any off-road experience, while offering more than enough storage for both personal belongings and recreational gear. The Revel gets pretty good gas mileage, but perhaps its defining feature is its integrated solar system. The entire system relies on roof mounted solar panels, that power the kitchen (refrigerator and stove), all the lights, television, and any other technology you need with no need for gas or propane.

Enjoy a Comfortable Adventure

No matter what you choose, #vanlife campers are all built for the same purpose: as an alternative option to RV’s to provide you with comfort and protection while on the go. Most camper vans will be filled with your basic necessities, like a small kitchen and sleeping area, but you can really amp it up for added comfort. Either way, travelling in your new camper van beats stinky motel stays any day.

Their popularity makes sense. In these vans, which often feature miniature kitchens and beds that transform into dinner tables, travelers can enjoy both the comfort of modern luxuries and the freedom of the wild outdoors.

If you haven’t taken a campervan trip for yourself yet, it’s destined to make its way onto your bucket list. Here are 13 tips to keep in mind when planning your own adventure.

Be Sure You Can Drive It

Your camper won’t do you much good if you can’t get it off the lot. A van can be more challenging to drive than a car if you aren’t used to the size and turning radius of a larger vehicle. Make sure you know how to drive the one you rent, and ask about manual versus automatic transmission before hitting checkout. If you haven’t driven a manual car in the past, this is not the time to learn.

Take Advantage of the Flexibility

Don’t forget about the van part of your campervan. Hopefully your new home is so comfortable, you forget you’re spending the night in an automobile. If you can’t quite get that fact out of your mind, remember the benefits of your choice. You’re transient, flexible, and free. If you want to visit someplace new in the morning, you can just pop into the driver’s seat and get a move on. You already have everything you need.

Keep an open mind while you’re driving and hiking. If you see something interesting, stop. If a campsite neighbor tells you about an amazing hike she took the day before, think about extending your stay and trying it out. Allow yourself to enjoy the freedom the van provides.

But Still Do Some Planning

While it may seem like you can just camp anywhere with your van—after all, your bedroom is on wheels—it’s best to consider your campsites beforehand. A bit of go-with-the-flow is necessary on a road trip, but you can eliminate plenty of stress by knowing where you’ll be parking at each leg.

If you can’t manage an exact plan, map out possible stopping points along your route. Once you have that information, you can take all the time you need on the road and choose the spot that’s most convenient at the time.

Bring Someone You Really Like

There’s no way around it, you’ll be in tight quarters. If you’re going on this trip with a partner, family members, or friends, be sure you like them—a lot. If you aren’t comfortable getting cozy together, you better hope you don’t run into a rainy day on the road.

Check the Gear Before You Go

Before you even show up for the van, take stock of what’s included in the rental, make a list of what you’ll need on the trip, and compare the two.

Once you pick up the camper, get a careful look at what’s there. Make sure everything you expected to be inside the van actually is. If something is missing, ask about it. After you get the keys, take out your list and reassess your needs, then head to the store. A little preparation goes a long way here, because realizing you don’t have any towels in the middle of the woods is not how you want to start your camping trip.

Don’t Forget the Essentials

Yes, you have a car. But no, you don’t want to spend your vacation time driving around to track down a can opener. In order to make sure you have everything you need, be thoughtful with those packing and shopping lists. Some suggestions: baby wipes, shampoo, a decent knife, a cutting board, sandwich bags or containers for leftovers, a little broom, bug spray, and sunscreen. Make the most of your trip by getting these things at the start, so you can focus on the fun.

Do Some Meal Planning

There's little joy in scrounging through an empty cooler at 8 p.m. after a long day on the trail. To prevent an empty belly or three straight dinners of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, do a little prep before you leave. Figure out how many meals you’ll need and decide what you’ll want to eat. Remember to consider the food storage you’ll have, likely either a minifridge or cooler, and choose dishes that will be easy to make over a fire, like chili, roasted veggie skewers, or loaded baked potatoes.

There’s no need to plan exactly what you’ll eat each day, but having everything waiting for you in the van will ensure you don’t go to bed hungry, and stocking a few staple breakfast ingredients will allow you to wake up focused on the adventures of the day.

Head to the grocery store at the start of your trip with your meal plan and ingredient list in hand. There may be shops along your journey, but if you’re exploring national parks or secluded beaches, you’ll want to be sure you aren’t missing any crucial ingredients before you begin your trip. Tacos just aren’t the same without the tortillas.

Stock Extra Snacks

Being in a campervan allows you to venture to more remote destinations, and that means there likely won’t be many pit stops available. Take advantage when you can, because your body won’t care about the lack of nearby stores after you complete an epic trek through the forest. Before leaving civilization, buy some extra fuel, like sandwich fixings and trail mix, to take with you on your hiking, biking, or paddling excursions. And don’t forget treats for the inevitable late-night campfire sessions.

Don’t Overpack

You have limited space, and some if it is going to be taken up by you. Do you really need three swimsuits and four sweatshirts? No. You don’t. Consider what’s really going to make your trip enjoyable, then ditch everything else. You don’t want to be sifting through things you wish you’d left at home when you’re trying to get dressed in the morning.

Pick the Right Campsite

Though you have more flexibility with a van than you do with a tent, it’s still important to be thoughtful when choosing your campsite. First, only camp where you’re permitted to sleep overnight. This is primarily dependent upon local ordinances and park rules, so study up before you get on the road.

• Nat Geo Expeditions

Once you’re out and looking for your site, keep a few things in mind. You’ll want to find a level spot. It will save you from waking up smashed into one side of the van or having your blankets slide off the bed. Also try to stay away from any campground lights, which may keep you up at night and will certainly hinder your stargazing. If you can, try to pick a location that showcases the best the campground has to offer. If it’s at the beach, get that ocean view. If you’re in the mountains, look for the vista.

Campgrounds tend to have multiple lots of different shapes and sizes, so don’t be afraid to drive around a bit to find one that suits your van. Some national park websites even offer photographs and reviews of each site, so you can make an educated choice when booking in advance.

Stay Organized

Mess leads to stress. Find a place for everything at the start of your trip and put it all away when you’re done. Remember to account for the driving you’ll be doing, so place anything fragile in a secure spot.

Keep a Flashlight Nearby

Being in a van doesn’t change the fact that you’re still camping. Keep a flashlight close by for nighttime bathroom trips or detecting unwelcome wildlife.

Find a Spot for Your Shoes

This is not a metaphorical suggestion. You should actually plan where you’ll put your shoes when you’re in the van. You’ve probably been climbing a rocky cliff or walking through a sand dune, so they’re covered in dirt. You don’t want that in your bed. And do yourself a favor—keep them far away from your head.

You also might need them in the middle of the night or early hours, so stick to the place you’ve chosen. Your van will stay clean, and you’ll be happy you know exactly where they are in the morning.

Everything You Need to Know for Your First Campervan Trip

Thomas Barwick/Taxi/Getty Images

Thanks to the rise of campervans , camping has never been more accessible. These easy-to-drive cars make it easy to see the world on the roads and go almost anywhere in the United States and Canada.

But before you jump in and start your grand road tour , it’s important to remember the basics and understand the rules that come with campervan camping. Here are the quick basics everyone needs to remember when starting out in a campervan for the first time.

What Is a Campervan?

Known in other parts of the world as a “caravan,” " Class B ,” or simply a “camper,” campervans are self-contained recreational vehicles built on the frame of a truck or van. Campervans are traditionally smaller than traditional RV vans, which makes them accessible for nearly anyone to drive.

One of the benefits of a campervan is how easy they are to get around. Because they are built on the body of production-model vehicles, anyone who has driven a large truck or minivan can learn to get around in a campervan easily! Plus, campervans often come with a lower cost compared to a traditional RV, with many of the same features.

On the downside, campervans come with much less space than a traditional RV. While a larger motorhome or recreational vehicle can fit an entire family, campervans are best fitted for much smaller groups—two or three people, at the most.

Is a Campervan Different From a Conversion Van or Traditional RV?

Although they share much of the same terminology, there is a very distinct difference between a campervan and conversion vans or even a traditional RV . The most obvious between them is size: While traditional RVs can be the size of a schoolbus, campervans are usually much smaller in size. The smallest campervans are the size of a production car, while the largest are around the size of a large truck. This distinct size difference means you can jump in and start right away with a campervan, while a traditional RV may take a lot more time to learn and get adjusted to.

Campervans are also much more different than “conversion vans,” although the two terms may be used interchangeably. While campervans usually come with dedicated cooking and sleeping spaces, conversion vans are often full-size vans with more storage space and even nicer seats, but aren’t necessarily intended for camping.

In short: if you’re ready to start camping, but aren’t interested in staying at a hotel every night or the time and money to learn how to drive a full-size RV, then the “vanlife” may be perfect for you.

The Benefits of a Campervan

Arguably, the biggest benefit of a campervan is its mobility. Often at the same size as a full-size van or truck, campervans can go anywhere you can imagine . All you need is a roadmap and a campground to get started!

Campervans come with many of the most common features found in RVs as well. A well-built campervan will feature a small kitchen area to prepare hot meals and power outlets to plug-in medical devices and charge cell phones. In addition, campervans have insulated sleeping area, so you can rest in a bed every night without exposure to the elements.

Campgrounds are often very accommodating to campervans, as they don’t take up much room and don’t need as many hook-ups to get up and running. The best campervans include plugs for “shore power,” or an external power source at the campsite. This allows you to use the kitchenette and power outlets without running down dedicated batteries.

Do I Need a Special Driver’s License for a Campervan?

In most parts of the United States, you will not need a particular driver’s license to operate a campervan. Because campervans are roughly the same size as the cars you already drive today, operating one on the street will be very similar to driving your car to work. However, before you go on your first road trip, you will want to get acquainted with your campervan. Campervans may come with back-up cameras, but not the center rear-view mirror. Be sure to go on a few test drives to understand its visibility and how it handles on the road.

Although you may not need a special driver’s license to take your campervan on the road, what you take with you might require additional paperwork. Because some campervans include propane or butane gas to power the kitchenette, you may be required to display placards to inform first responders and other drivers of what you are carrying. Be sure to check the local regulations where you are going.

What Do I Need to Pack in a Campervan?

Now that you’re sold on joining the “Vanlife” and are ready to head out on the open road, the first step is to put together a packing list. As with all travel, your packing list will change based on where you are going and how long you plan on being gone. For the basics, your campervan packing list should always include:

• Food and beverages for the length of your trip
• Potable water for dishwashing and other cleaning
• Weather-appropriate clothes for the length of your trip
• Clean linens and pillows for the bed
• Kitchenette fuel (propane or butane, if necessary)
• Cleaning products (wipes, soaps, and anything you can use to conveniently
• Cash for tolls and any other unplanned expenses
• Connection cables for campsites

Once you have your packing list together, you will also need to set a budget for your entire trip. This may vary based on how far you are going and campground costs. Your budget should account for:

• Gasoline costs for your campervan
• Campervan campground costs per day
• Extra budget for food or entertainment while camping

While most charges can be paid for using a credit or debit card, it’s also important to carry a small amount of cash with you to ensure everything can get paid. If you don’t make a budget part of your campervan packing list, you might end up paying way more for your trip than you thought .

Where Can I Park My Campervan Overnight?

You’ve got the campervan, you have a destination in mind, and now you want to know where you can park your campervan overnight . Because these are registered vehicles operating on public roads, they are subject to all rules and regulations.

The easiest places to park your campervan overnight is at a campground . Many campgrounds have dedicated spaces for campervans and other recreational vehicles. If space is available, you can book just one night or your entire stay. Just be sure to check ahead if there is a space for you—otherwise, you might be caught on the road without a place to stay.

If your trip includes a visit to a national forest, then you are in luck. Because national forests are federal property, camping is usually free! If you can safely pull your car off the road, you can park your campervan for the night. Just be sure to follow local regulations: For example, some parks don’t allow open flames due to fire risks.

But as mentioned above, there are a lot of places where you may not be allowed to park your campervan overnight. You cannot park on streets where overnight parking is prohibited, or anywhere campervans or other live-in vehicles may be prohibited by local or state ordinances. This can include (but is not limited to) alongside significant highways, alongside coastlines or in dense parking lots.

If you are in a complete pinch for parking overnight , there are some emergency options available to you. Most Wal-Marts allow camping vehicles (including campervans) to park overnight, giving you a safe place to spend one night as you plan for the next leg of your adventure. Some amusement parks also have dedicated small RV and campervan space as well.

Tips and Tricks for Your Campervan Experience

If you’ve never taken a trip in a campervan before, you are in for a one-of-a-kind experience. But before you go, here’s some tips and tricks you can apply to your grand adventure.

• Less is more: Although campervans offer a fair amount of living space, it is also very limited after you pack all your items in. Packing light allows you to enjoy still the creature comforts allowed from the campervan, without worrying about where and how to store everything when it comes time to move to the next campground (or go home).
• Reservations save time and money: While it may be tempting to hit the open road to go wherever the wind takes you, it can also be a costly proposition if campground space is limited. By calling ahead and making reservations at campgrounds, you can ensure space is available – and at a rate in your budget. Some websites even allow you to book campground space online.
• Leave the land better than you found it: No matter your camping style, it’s essential to make sure you are a good steward of the land. This includes picking up all trash, securing trash and other items before you leave or turn in for the night, and avoid feeding wildlife (on purpose or inadvertently). Not only is this good behavior, but it’s also the law. If you litter or start an open fire on federal lands (or where it’s against local rules), you could be fined.

Overall, campervan camping is one of the easiest ways to see the country. With a better understanding of campervan travel , you will have no trouble getting on your way and making memories that last a lifetime.

How to rent a campervan for your next road trip

Campervans help bridge the gap between car camping and RVing, and rentals offer an easy introduction to the lifestyle

By Robert Annis

For Harley Sitner of Peace Vans , van travel means “optimizing magic over efficiency.” His advice? “The first day is going to be a (madhouse), where you don’t know what to do or how things operate. Just stick it out. The second day gets easier, and the third gets easier yet. After the fourth night, most people are already looking for their own van.”

If you’re renting a camper van for the first time, it can all be a bit overwhelming. Luckily, there are plenty of options and resources to help you get started.

What to expect

Gas prices might be rising , but the cost of renting vans has remained relatively stable, according to April Cumming, a public relations manager at the peer-to-peer RV rental platform Outdoorsy . Many renters try to stay somewhat local, maybe going to two or three different parks over the course of their vacation, and they may not even go through an entire tank of gas on their trip.  

You can generally expect to pay between $100 and $350 per night for a van rental, which includes 100 to 150 miles per day of driving. From there, fees typically run between 25 and 50 cents per mile. Most companies also charge a cleaning fee at the end of the trip. Most companies have a 3- to 5-night rental minimum.

Be sure to look for what accessories are included. Many van rental companies include basic essentials such as pots, pans, dishes, linens, and more, but others might charge an additional fee.

If you feel overwhelmed with the number of choices, Moterra Campervan s and some other companies will prepare your entire itinerary for you (for a fee, of course). Peace Vans offers deals with several local campgrounds that reserve spots just for customers.

Where to look

Renters can choose between standard rental outfitters like Moterra or Peace Vans, or peer-to-peer rental companies like Outdoorsy, RVshare , RVezy , or Vancation . 

Specialty van rental companies like Moterra, Voyager , Peace Vans, and others have newer, fairly standard vans. Voyager builds out each of its vans while Peace Vans offers a vintage VW fleet, so you know exactly what you’re getting. If you plan a long itinerary and rent from a company with multiple locations, you can save time by flying into and out of different airports.

Peer-to-peer rental companies give you more options, allowing you to rent a van as basic or as luxurious as you need, but the service you receive from the actual RV owners can vary. Cumming says the company will step in if needed; if the van breaks down or another unexpected mishap occurs during your trip, they’ll do whatever they can to get you back on the road safely.

Ask the rental agent or owner to walk you through the features. Don’t assume you know how everything operates, especially if it’s your first time. Pay attention, but don’t stress over knowing how every little thing works. Nearly every van rental company has robust training materials online, and Voyager even places QR codes next to the van’s most confusing buttons and gadgets, allowing you to pull up a troubleshooting article or video immediately. If you need additional help, many companies have a 24/7 hotline.

Related Renting an RV: Tips for the first-time RV renter

While you’re there, don’t hesitate to ask the rental agent questions, not just about your van, but also about your destination(s). Moterra’s Trevor James says most employees love sharing their favorite destinations, and the company gives lists of campgrounds and outdoor activities to every renter. 

Driving a van

If renting a van and visiting a far-off destination is on your bucket list, Cumming suggests doing a shorter trip closer to home first to get a feel for the van and how to best travel in it.

Some travelers may be intimidated by driving a large Sprinter van, especially if they’ve never driven anything that big before, but James says the nerves usually go away after the first day. Modern vans have plenty of safety features, including blindspot alerts and backup cameras, that make piloting the van a piece of cake. 

If you’re driving a tall van, consider using an RV GPS (like Roadtrippers Premium ) that will navigate you away from low bridges and tight tunnels. Likewise, avoid parking garages and drive-throughs with low barriers. When it comes to driving speed, remember that a lead foot leads to buying more unleaded gas.

Getting to the campground

If you’re new to the outdoors, stick to established campgrounds until you feel more comfortable. Campground reservations tend to go fast these days, so book as early as possible. After you gain more experience, dispersed camping in national forests and Bureau of Land Management areas are a great way to save money and experience lesser-known parks.

Most renters fret about whether to splurge on a van with a toilet or shower. If you plan to stay at an established campground, both Voyager’s Grady Linder and Vancation’s Steve Dietrich suggest forgoing both . Dietrich says some owners on Vancation will include a disposable, portable toilet in case of emergencies. For those who are venturing off-grid, a toilet may be worth the splurge.

If you’re planning to stay at a campground with hookups, make sure you can plug your RV into the 50- or 30-volt outlet. If you’re planning to forgo hookups, look for a rental option with solar panels that will help keep your devices charged.

Overnighting in a van can take some getting used to. More compact than even the tiniest hotel room, it does take some adjustment, especially if you’re traveling with family or friends, but most of the kinks are usually worked out by the second or third day. Most renters spend the bulk of their time outside, not in the van.

Vanlife 101: Everything You Need to Know Before Taking Your First Campervan Road Trip!

So you’re wanting to give vanlife a try…good news is you’ve come to the right…

So you’re wanting to give vanlife a try…good news is you’ve come to the right place! VanCraft has been outfitting road trippers since 2016. Our co-founders lived the #vanlife before the hashtag hit the mainstream. The result is a wealth of knowledge that ensures you have an authentic experience with campervans designed for any adventure (yes, that means winter camping as well!). That being said, we don’t want you to believe vanlife is all rainbows and butterflies “as seen on IG”. In this blog we will be going over everything you need to know before taking your first campervan road trip.

More specifically we will get into all the nitty gritty details and answer some of the more common questions our customers have, such as:

WHERE  do you camp or park at night?

HOW  do you use the bathroom and shower?

WHY  vanlife?

Let’s start with the number 1 question

“Where can I find camping, and where is it safe to park for the night?”

HOW TO FIND CAMPING:

One of the benefits of traveling by campervan is that you don’t necessarily HAVE TO make campsite reservations in advance, and you can almost always CAMP FOR FREE. Not only can you camp for free, but we encourage it and like the saying goes: some of the best things in life are free.

Our favorite tool for finding free camping is a user-based app called  iOverlander , available on iOS and Android. THIS IS A FREE APP.

PRO TRIP:  Download the iOverlander app before you lose cell service. Also, download  maps.me  for offline turn by turn navigation that works with iOverlander. We repeat, download the app and all of the maps for each state you will be visiting BEFORE YOU LOSE CELL SERVICE.

IOverlander has thousands of free camping locations.  Make sure to scroll through the campsite descriptions and read the user reviews to pick a good spot.

While apps are a great resource for finding campsites, we also recommend you look for new places not yet on the map!  You don’t NEED to stay at a campsite that someone has put on a map. Here is how you can find your own free camping:

First, summon your spirit of adventure.  In today’s world with airBNB, 5G, and Instagram it seems that some of the adventurous spirit in the US has been lost. Don’t forget that camping existed before cell phones and your parents had to navigate with paper maps.

BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land and National Forests both allow free dispersed camping. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere OUTSIDE of a designated campground. For  dispersed camping in National Forests  many people drive out on Forest Service roads into the woods and find a clearing or a spot. You can identify National Forests by the green color overlay on your map. One of our favorite national forest camp spots is in the hills just above Big Sur. It’s often difficult to get a camp spot in Big Sur because they sell out months in advance, BUT if you drive up the mountain and into the boundary of the National Forest you can camp for FREE!

On BLM land, dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. In laymans terms BLM is public land owned by the government and funded by tax dollars (technically you are already paying to camp on this land via taxes). For a nationwide map of BLM land, check out this map:  BLM MAP

NOTE:  You cannot camp in National Parks except at established campgrounds, BUT often you can exit the boundary of the National park to find National Forest or BLM land to camp on for free, no reservations required.

You can also urban camp so long as you follow all posted parking signs. For example, downtown Salt Lake City and surrounding neighborhoods allow overnight street parking.

When in doubt we always advise on asking for forgiveness rather than asking for permission to camp, BUT that only works if you have a solid moral compass and sound set of ethics. Therefore we require that all of our renters sign a customer code of ethics and follow the 7  Leave No Trace  principles.

The Leave No Trace Seven Principles

• Plan ahead and prepare.
• Travel and camp on durable surfaces.
• Dispose of waste properly.
• Leave what you find.
• Minimize campfire impacts (be careful with fire).
• Respect wildlife.
• Be considerate of other visitors.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP:

We recommend that you plan as little or as much in advance as you are comfortable with!

Road trips can remind us of how travel was meant to be experienced, through the freedom of the open road. We recommend having an itinerary that allows for detours along the way. Factor in your comfort level with planning versus flexibility.  Some people have great trips with no plans, others have great trips by planning the details down to the hour.

Start off by getting stoked on trip planning, take a peek at some of our  itineraries , scroll through Instagram travel accounts, and do your research. Develop your trip itinerary in steps: first brainstorm your must see destinations and write them down in logical geographical order. Next, write how many days/nights you want to spend at each stop next to each destination. Don’t forget: One way to ruin an otherwise epic road trip is blasting from one destination to the next without ever taking the time to enjoy the stop.

Now that you have an idea of an overall route, map out how far the driving distance is between each stop and calculate realistically how many of the destinations you will see depending on your trip length. In general we recommend spending at least 1 day at each destination and keeping the total trip to less than 200 miles of driving per day averaged across the entire trip. Sure some days might be spent entirely behind the wheel, but make up for those long drives by setting up camp and staying put at your next stop.

We like to make sure the necessities are covered in the trip planning phase, such as fuel calculations, food, and water. If you grocery shop in advance and always refuel before you’ve hit ¼ tank, you can be sure to never worry about going hungry or running out of fuel.

Now that’s you’re ready to hit the road you may be unsure of what to bring. The good news is that VanCraft provides everything you need to camp for any adventure. All vans include a fully stocked kitchen with dishes, cookware and cleaning kits, fresh linens and towels, outdoor camp gear, and are prefilled with water and propane. You just need to pit stop at a grocery store for provisions and hit the road.

VANLIFE TIPS & TRICKS:

There can be a steep learning curve to vanlife….it’s our goal to make the lifestyle as turn key as possible, especially when it comes to hygiene. The second most asked question from those interested in giving vanlife a try is: “Where do I go to the bathroom, and how do I take a shower?”

01. WHERE TO USE THE BATHROOM:

Our answer normally goes something like… “well…does a bear $hit in the woods?” Yes, they do, and so will you! All jokes aside, pooping can be a barrier to entry for some people considering campervan life. Unless you have bathrooms nearby, there are two options when you need to go #2:

Option 01: Use the toilet in your van!

Use the cartridge toilet in your campervan. It’s not the most glamorous of bathrooms, BUT if you need to go you will be happy you decided to add a cartridge toilet to your rental. The key to a good poo is privacy. That means everyone has to empty the van and you get the throne all to yourself.

Hint: turn on the roof vent for some white noise and airflow.

Option 02: Dig a hole!

Dig a hole! VanCraft campervans all come with shovels (no, poop does  not  touch the shovel, it’s for  digging  the hole). Follow the Leave No Trace guidelines for disposing of human waste:

• Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute. If bathrooms are available, do a preventative poo before you have to dig a hole. Wet wipes are very nice, but you have to pack them back out as well as pack out feminine products. If you are using anything other than toilet paper, bring a trash bag with you to properly dispose of non-biodegradable waste.
• Dig a cathole at least 6in deep (really, you can only dig a hole 6in deep?…we think you can do better). In hard, dry dirt it can be difficult to dig a deep hole, try to find organic soil that is easier to dig and will help decompose the waste…the cathole must be 200ft from any water source such as a lake or stream.
• Pop a squat, and enjoy the view. Use as little toilet paper as possible, that means fold it!..if you have to crinkle, make sure the cathole is extra deep.
• Only bury human waste and toilet paper, and burry it deep! Do not bury wet wipes or feminine products, those must be packed out (bring a trash bag).

* Toilet Paper in Arid Lands:  Placing toilet paper in a trash bag and packing it out is the best way to Leave No Trace in a desert environment. It is not advised to burn toilet paper as it can result in wildfires.

02. HOW TO SHOWER:

A wise vanlifer once said: “Shower whenever and wherever you can! You never know how long it might be until your next opportunity.”

THE GOOD NEWS: All VanCraft campervans have an outdoor hot water shower. VanCraft was born in San Diego where the beach and hippie culture thrives. It is not uncommon to see surfers rinsing off in the parking lot before changing out of their wetsuits, we’ve just perfected the art of a “hippie shower.”

If it is too cold outside OR you are in an urban environment where hippie showers are frowned upon, you can always buy a day pass at a YMCA or gym, take a hot yoga class (they always have showers), or try a truck stop shower (they really aren’t bad).

SOME TRICKS & TIPS FOR YOUR FIRST VAN TRIP:

• Don’t camp at Walmart (it’s bright, loud, and generally miserable).
• Park the van on a flat surface before you go to sleep and always sleep with your head higher than your feet. Use rocks to level the van if it’s not flat.
• Spend a morning or afternoon at a coffee shop to get out of the van and meet some locals.
• Keep the van tidy, sweep the floor daily and dispose of trash when you have the chance.
• Bring along wet wipes and dry shampoo.
• Charge your devices at night so they are ready for the next day’s adventure.
• Use the dash vents with the heat on high to blow dry your hair.
• Refuel before you hit ¼ tank and remember to check the engine oil at every fuel stop.

WHY WE RENT CAMPERVANS, AND WHY SHOULD YOU GIVE VANLIFE A TRY?

Because we believe that travel can make the world a better place! There is a fundamental difference between taking a vacation and traveling. It’s easier now than ever to plan your next trip: Reservations are just a click away, but what you will find missing from your itinerary is a sense of adventure. The solution VanCraft provides is the freedom to forego the itinerary, creating endless possibilities for extraordinary experiences.

• Managing your trip and stop times

• Take advantage of park passes and campground deals

Throughout this post, you’ll learn the details of every tip as well as how you can have a good time getting the most out of every minute of your van camping journey.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Van Camping Adventure

1. Only Take What You Need

It’s no secret that van camping provides a lot less space than living in a house. While most homes are over 1,000 square feet, the average cargo van is between 100 to 150 square feet. Less room means that you’ll have to leave most of your possessions at home. If you’re not used to minimalism, now is the time to try it.

For example, rather than bringing seven pairs of clothing (one per day of the week), bring three pairs and an extra jacket. You’ll be able to wash clothes wherever you go by following tip #19, not to mention the fact that you’ll have more room to buy shirts and other souvenirs.

2. Know Where You’re Going

It’s always fun to wing it (and to an extent, you should), but creating a route beforehand is the key to not getting lost. Despite the countless images and posts that tell you getting lost is the best part of the adventure, it’s not. You’ll wind up spending more money on fuel while being more stressed out than you need to be.

Creating a rough route that gets you from start to finish is all you need. If you’re worried about not seeing enough, take a map of the highways and main roads around the area. You’ll be able to go off-track a bit should you see something that looks interesting.

3. Managing Your Trip and Stop Times

We’ve all spent more time on the road than we should. Whether it’s an unexpected roadside shop or a museum that didn’t show up on a map, these hidden gems make a road trip more exciting. Don’t forget about the need to go to the bathroom, get snacks and drinks, and stretch when you start to get road buzz.

Try to manage your time on the road by adding an extra 10 minutes per hour. For example, if you’re planning to drive for five hours, make the trip 5 hours and 50 minutes long in your mind. You’ll either arrive on time or get there a little earlier than you predicted rather than showing up late.

This extra time cushion can also help make you feel more organized, which is always an issue when you’re road-tripping.

4. Pack Light and Keep It Clean

Alongside #1 on the list, it’s essential to pack light. Not only do you waste time sifting through too many clothes, shoes, and other items, but all vans have a total weight capacity. If you exceed the capacity, you could lower your gas mileage and put unwanted wear and tear on the parts and tires.

On top of that, you should do your best to keep the van clean. Take a small hand broom and a dustpan with you to remove dirt and debris that builds up. You’ll probably be hiking all over the place, so a little bit of dust is inevitable.

5. Remember to Pack for Your Dog

If you’re bringing a dog along for the ride, you should bring extra supplies for them. Food, water, treats, potty bags, and leashes are just a handful of items to name. Much like your own supplies, you can condense the number of supplies that you bring for your dog as long as you don’t forget their nutrition and well-being.

Van Camping Life Tip: Not all campgrounds and attractions allow dogs and other pets. Ensure that you call ahead of time and check if the places you’re heading permit you to bring them with you.

6. Take Rest Stops

Rest stops are just as important as the drive. There’s no point in pushing yourself too long without resting just to make it ahead of time. You’ll end up feeling exhausted, so take a rest along the way to keep yourself feeling energetic and ready to go.

Many states and countries have rest stops specifically created for road trippers, long-distance commuters, and truckers. These stops have bathrooms, benches, areas to walk around and stretch your legs, and sometimes even small stores for last-minute supplies. Check out this map by Interstate Rest Areas.

7. Use Apps & Maps

Apps and physical paper maps are both equally as useful. Never rely solely on one or the other. If you’re stuck without a paper map, and the internet cuts out, you won’t have any sense of direction. On the other hand, apps are perfect if you want a map that’s always up to date wherever you go.

A few top-notch apps for routing your road trips include Road Trippers, Google Trips, and Google Maps. Regardless of which app you choose, always call for reservations and keep your location turned on so they can update you with information about road closures, accidents, traffic delays, and more.

8. Make a List of Points of Interest

While you’re going through different apps, maps, and creating a route, mark all of the points of interest along the way. You never know when you’ll end up finding a place that you didn’t know was nearby, or if you can take pictures with perfect scenery in the background.

Notable points of interest include national parks, monuments, museums, rivers, oceans, and more. Even if they’re not the main destination, it’s always a fun idea to make a quick 15-minute stop to visit a place that you might never get a chance to see again.

9. Find Mementos

Mementos, souvenirs, and other memorable items are some of the best parts of going van camping. Pictures and memories are amazing to cherish, but why not have a t-shirt or necklace from your favorite place? Get bumper stickers for your van, bobbleheads, or even books referring to local attractions.

Don’t forget to purchase gifts for people back at home. Van camping is an incredible experience that many people never have the opportunity to try. By getting them something along the way, you’re showing that you thought of them during the adventure.

10. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

If you’re out on a paved trail and you see another going off on an unmarked path, try it out. Take the scenic route, try new foods, and explore landscapes that you didn’t know existed. Stepping out of your comfort zone even a little bit is one of the most important and enjoyable aspects of going camping out of a van.

Nobody remembers individual nights of sleeping at a hotel, but who could forget parking a van at a beach and falling asleep to the sound of the waves? Even if you didn’t plan for it, step out of your normal routine and try something new. This tip is perhaps the best way to get the most enjoyment out of van camping.

11. Camping Near Animals: Follow These Suggestions

If you’re camping near bears, snakes, raccoons, and other wild animals, make sure you pack accordingly. You might need bear boxes and air horns to keep them away. You should do your best to research all of the campgrounds that you plan to visit before showing up, so you know what you need to do.

Another suggestion would be to camp closer to civilization if you’re worried about animals. They’re far less likely to approach your vehicle if other people and loud noises are nearby. Science Daily states that most wild animals do their best to stay away from humans, if at all possible.

12. Getting the Most Out of Every Location

Rather than visiting a location for a few short minutes and going at it blindly, figure out what the most exciting parts of it will be before you go. For example, Big Sur in California is one of the United States’ most well-known beaches, but there are multiple campgrounds within a couple of miles to park your van.

Another great example would be Yosemite National Park. Everyone thinks about Half Dome, but there are also numerous waterfalls, Mirror Lake, and dozens of small gift shops to buy souvenirs. By learning about every destination before heading out, you can pack loads of fun into every outing.

13. Create a Budget Before You Go

Making a budget before you set out on the van camping trip will save you tons of money. You should find out what your van’s fuel efficiency is, how much food you’ll need to buy, set aside money for “extra spending,” and don’t forget about campground fees.

Once you’ve added all of the budget items together, add 15% onto the total. This cushion will act as an additional spending buffer in case things cost more than you thought, or you want to spend a bit more. You never know when you’ll want to stay at a campsite a little longer or rent a kayak to go down a river!

14. How to Find the Best Campsites

Finding campsites is one of the most challenging parts of a van camping trip for most beginners. If you’ve never gone on a journey in a van, long or short, then you might be worried about which places allow vans and which don’t. Fortunately, the internet is loaded with knowledge from other van campers.

If you want to create a list of possible campsites, try out Campendium . It has all sorts of reviews and options to filter your results. Some of the places are free to stay at! Speaking of “free,” Free Campsites is another website where you can save tons of money while camping out of your van. 

15. Learn the Laws of the Land

Although it’s not quite as fun to think about, you must always remember local laws. Some places have different regulations on where you can park your van, how long you can stay in the same spot, and even when and where you can cook.

Van Camping Life Tip: If you’re van camping with a dog, check for signs about leashes, cleaning up their messes, and whether or not they’re allowed in the first place.

16. Take It Slow and Plan for Mistakes

Thanks to your planning, mapping, and budgeting, you’ve allotted enough time to take it slow and plan for mistakes. Flat tires happen, some campgrounds might close or be over capacity, and individual stores might have different hours than you expected. These are all part of the process.

If you go on this adventure with a rushing mentality, you’ll be disappointed. You should learn to relax and go at an even pace to enjoy every last moment that you have. Even if something goes not as planned, you’ll be ready to deal with it without a problem.

17. Don’t Forget Road Trip Snacks

Trying different types of food while van camping is a huge part of the traveling experience, if you’re going to be on a long road trip, then you can try different foods from a variety of cultures and flavor palettes. Short van camping that’s only an hour away from home also has plenty to offer.

Cook over a fire pit rather than on a stove or buy roadside food along the way. Trying new food is something that you won’t regret!

18. Where to Sleep if Your Plans Fall Through

If you’ve planned on staying at a campground, but it’s full when you get there, what can you do? Well, one option is to try to use Campendium or Free Campsites from tip #14. You could also call local Wal-Mart stores to see if they allow overnight parking lot camping.

Worst case scenario, you can stay at a hotel while you’re waiting. Remember that 15% buffer from tip #13? Spending overnight unplanned at a hotel is where that tip comes in handy!

19. How to Clean Your Clothes While You’re on the Road

You’ll inevitably have to clean your clothes if you’re van camping for longer than a few days. You have three options to try:

• Find local laundry facilities.
• Wash your clothes by hand and hang to dry when stopped to camp for the day.
• Stay at a hotel once a week and use their laundry services.

If you’re blessed to have friends and family along your route, you could ask to use their washer and dryer. It’d be an excellent opportunity to sleep in your van in their driveway or have a home-cooked meal if you’re going on a long trip.

20. Meet Friends Along the Way

Meeting new people will change your life. Try to interact with other people who are also on road trips or camping out of their van. The Van Life community is ever-growing, meaning you’ll always be able to meet new people, share meals, and experience new adventures that you didn’t plan for.

You should also try to meet up with friends that you already know as you go. If you met a friend in college, but they’ve since moved away, you can catch up with them as you cruise through their state or city. It’s a great way to get a local perspective of the area.

21. Take Advantage of Park Passes and Campground Deals

The U.S. Park Pass gives you access to all sorts of National Parks and forests that you can explore. You can also take advantage of local campground deals, KOA discounts, and more. These are just a few tips that you can try to save more money.

Camping out of a van is an unforgettable experience. You don’t have to go across the country to enjoy an unlimited amount of fun. Whether you’re traveling 10,000 miles or 10 miles, having a mobile house on wheels gives you an insight on a way of living that the vast majority of people have never even tried. Enjoy your trip!

Find a Camper Van with Bathroom for Ultimate Comfort

E xperience the ultimate road trip adventure with a camper van with bathroom. Enjoy the freedom of the open road while indulging in the comforts of home.

Explore nature without compromising on privacy, hygiene, and convenience. Revolutionize your travel experience with a camper van that guarantees luxury and ease.

Let the unforgettable journey begin!

Size and Layout

Choosing the right camper van size and layout is crucial. Leisure travel vans provide a spacious bathroom but may be difficult to navigate in the city or on narrow roads.

A compact van offers maneuverability but usually has a wet bath configuration. Consider comfort and practicality when planning and traveling with others.

Plumbing and Water Systems

The plumbing system of your van is crucial for your bathroom needs. Consider reliability, ease of maintenance, and compatibility with your travel style.

Different vans have different setups, from tanks and water heaters to waste disposal systems. Choose based on your mechanical skills and preference for automation.

Storage Space

When it comes to a vehicle for camping, space is limited, and the bathroom is no exception. Check the storage capacity of both the bathroom and the rest of the van.

This ensures there is enough room for toiletries, cleaning supplies, and even a change of clothes. Look for well-designed vans that maximize every nook and cranny, with accessible and secure cabinets for travel.

Amenities and Features

Modern camper vans with bathrooms boast a variety of amenities. It ranges from porcelain toilets and stainless steel sinks to high-efficiency appliances and smart storage solutions.

Look out for features that enhance your comfort. Look for a composting option for sustainability, a shower head with various pressure settings, or a venting system to cut steam and odors.

Benefits of a Camper Van with Bathroom

The benefits of vans for recreational traveling extend beyond the convenience of having facilities on board. Let’s delve into why this amenity is so prized among van dwellers and travelers.

Enhanced Comfort and Convenience

Experience the ultimate comfort and convenience of a camper van with a bathroom. Wake up to breathtaking mountain sunrises, freshen up with a hot shower, and unwind in your own private space after a long hike.

Embrace the dirt and wildness of your adventures, knowing that a comfortable retreat is always within reach. Explore nature without compromising on comfort.

Independence and Flexibility

Traveling off the beaten path can mean limited access to modern conveniences like rest stops and shower facilities. With a recreational vehicle that has a bathroom, you can enjoy the freedom to roam without worrying about campsite proximity or operating hours.

Buying or choosing to finance an RV allows you the flexibility to budget for other expenses to make the RV a better experience and that liberating feeling of self-sustainability for extended periods.

Privacy and Hygiene

Travel can sometimes mean sharing restroom facilities, but having a personal bathroom offers unparalleled privacy and hygiene. No more waiting in line or worrying about cleanliness. Enjoy the peace of a space that’s always ready and cleaned by you.

Embracing the Journey in a Camper Van with Bathroom

A camper van with bathroom offers more than convenience; it provides freedom, privacy, and the comfort of home on the road. Whether exploring nature or settling in a scenic spot, these innovative mobile living spaces enhance the joy of travel.

The South Indian phrase - “ninnade kaNugalu tuppuko.” is wrong. “tuppuko” is not a word in kannada. Informally, we’d say…

I have always pronounced it with the third syllable "e" vul-GA-te. Could this be wrong in the original Latin?

The Ultimate Adventure Rig Debate: Van Versus Truck

Is a 4x4 van as capable as a pickup for exploits off the beaten path? Our experts weigh in.

Heading out the door? Read this article on the Outside app available now on iOS devices for members! >","name":"in-content-cta","type":"link"}}'>Download the app .

Need an icebreaker at a mountain town bar, or a conversation starter around a campfire? Try this: What’s better, a van or a truck camper?

It’s a debate I’ve had with friends many times over the years (and a topic I’m sure my wife Sarah would greatly appreciate never hearing about again). The pro and con list for each can be endless, and “better” can be in the eye of the beholder and depend on how exactly you want to use the vehicle: Which is more comfortable to camp out of? What does better off road? What gets better gas mileage? Which one does better in the snow?

For the sake of keeping this article from turning into a novel, let’s keep the comparisons between stock, four-wheel drive pickups and vans that come with four-wheel or all-wheel drive from the factory (so we’re not talking about anything requiring a 4WD conversion here). And we’ll keep the question to: “Of these two options, which makes the more capable adventure rig?”

Full disclosure: I’m a truck guy. I’ve long thought that a van—even in four-wheel drive guise—could never get me to the places I regularly go in my truck while hunting and recreating around the West.

But a few months ago, I had the opportunity to test a brand new AWD, 144-inch wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter built out with an Adventure Wagon interior. Truth be told, I was just as stoked to test the van itself as I was the buildout, because I was hoping it might help change my opinion on the truck versus van debate. Spoiler alert: it didn’t.

Aside from being incredibly loud on anything but pavement (due to the cavernous echo chamber that is the inside of any high-roof van), I found it difficult to navigate on rough dirt roads, and unnerving to drive on any remotely off-camber trails, due to its tall height.

I took the van down a road where I’d previously driven a full-size pickup towing a 20-foot Airstream Basecamp , and found that I couldn’t get as far down the road as I had in the truck due to a pretty sketchy, washed-out turn I’d forgotten about. I didn’t give that zone a second thought with the truck (even while towing). Could the Sprinter have made it? Possibly, but I wasn’t willing to risk flopping a very expensive van over on its side.

I’ve driven and ridden in several types of vans on gravel and dirt roads over the years, and have always had a negative experience. They’re loud, tippy, bulky, and in my experience, harsh-riding (with factory-installed suspensions) they’re designed to haul cargo and deliver packages in urban environments, after all. That said, I’ve never actually owned one, so my take on the question of capability isn’t exactly fair.

To help balance my bias, I reached out to a couple of folks who’ve owned both types of vehicles over the years in hopes of getting a more insightful answer on the truck versus van debate.

My good friends Aaron Gulley and Jen Judge , both longtime Outside contributors, are hunters, cyclists, climbers and skiers, and have lots of experience camping and living full-time out of adventure rigs. Since 2016, their go-to setup has been a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD towing a 2014 Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB . Last Fall, they bought a 2016, 4×4 low-roof 144” Mercedes Sprinter . Theirs has a Sportsmobile pop-top and a minimalist buildout that lends itself to better off-road performance than you’ll get out of most vans.

I also touched base with Chris Cordes , Trail Guide Manager at onX Off Road and former Editor at Overland Journal/Expedition Portal , who has more off-road driving experience than just about anyone I know.

He’s owned a whole host of rigs throughout the years, including a Storyteller Overland buildout based on the 144WB VS30 4×4 Sprinter, and a 2000 Ford Excursion (essentially an F250) with the legendary 7.3L diesel engine, running 37-inch tires and every overland mod you can think of. He’s taken all of his rigs on gnarlier terrain than most vehicles will ever see.

If you are adventure rig shopping and considering a van or truck camper, their insights are well worth the read.

Q&A: Which Is the Better Adventure Vehicle—a Van or a Pickup Truck?

Bryan Rogala: You all have lots of experience with trucks and vans in general, and taking them into some serious spots off road that I doubt most Outside readers would take either type of vehicle. What’s your overall take on a 4×4 van vs. a truck?

Chris Cordes: Truth be told, it greatly depends on the vehicles you’re comparing. A Syncro VW or 4×4 E-Series is an entirely different animal than a 170 Sprinter, and a Tacoma is a far cry from an F-350. If I were looking only at full-size four-wheel drive vans and trucks built within the last few years, I’d say this: most 4×4 vans built within the last decade were not designed for off-road use.

They were designed as delivery vehicles with enough capability to tackle forest roads, mud, and snow on the way to drop off their parcels. Their articulation, high center of gravity, gearing, and unibody construction limit them when compared to a full-size 4×4 truck. With enough determination and patience you can bring them farther than many people will believe possible, but it will take twice the skill and three times the stress to do so.

Aaron Gulley: I’ve been pretty impressed with how capable our van is. I will say, I feel a little more hesitant—or reticent—to take it down or up things that I would do with the truck. It feels like the center of gravity is a little higher, and you really notice it when you start getting into off camber stuff. I’m also a little more reluctant to take it onto that type of terrain because it’s a pretty expensive vehicle—not that the truck’s not, but I feel like the truck’s just sort of built for it.

Are there any scenarios that come to mind in which you didn’t drive the van, but you would’ve taken a truck?

AG: We were in the truck this weekend while hunting, and we took a very, very steep and rugged road. I don’t think I would’ve taken the van up or down that. It might have done it, but I would have been far more uncomfortable.

CC: We tried very hard to take the van anywhere we’d take a truck, but found its limits more often than we would have liked. The worst examples were in the mountains where elevation reduced power, and the gearing became inadequate to allow for controlled negotiation of anything even slightly technical. We often had to use momentum to get over obstacles, and a failed attempt could put us in a very precarious situation.

On our last Colorado trip with the van, we made a successful—but white knuckle—ascent to Clear Lake, and a failed attempt at Ophir Pass. We wrote off all mountain passes after that, despite having previously tackled Alpine Loop and Imogene pass in my Excursion and towing a trailer over the same passes.

Talk about the differences in ride height, clearance, etc . Have you found either to perform better in tight spots?

CC: Ride height and clearance will vary greatly depending on the model of van or truck you choose. Ford’s AWD transit, for example, is unacceptably low to the ground in my opinion, but the 4×4 Sprinter has an impressive amount of ground clearance and a respectable approach and departure angle. Compared to some trucks it could actually be an advantage. I never had a problem with the clearance in our van, even when hitting trails like Chicken Corners in Moab [Utah].

AG: I took some measurements of our van (a 2016 4×4 Sprinter), and truck (a 2016 Chevrolet 2500HD) to see how they compare. The seat height in the van is 51 inches from the ground, and it’s only 41 inches in the truck. There’s 9 inches of clearance to the bottom of the rear differential on both rigs, but the side of the van sits 15 inches off the ground, while the truck’s sheet metal sits 20 inches off the ground.

I would actually say the van is better (in tight spots) because it’s narrower. The only annoying thing is that often, because the track width is narrower, you don’t fit quite so well in the big troughs that get dug out on dirt roads. You sort of get punched around from side to side like you’re on a Disneyland ride.

BR: How does the ride on rough terrain compare for, say, a stock three-quarter-ton pickup and a 4×4 Sprinter?

CC: The biggest thing you’re going to notice between the two is how much side-to-side sway a Sprinter or any high roof van has. Because the CG is so high, and the articulation is so limited, uneven terrain can start tossing the van back and forth in a progressively more uncomfortable side-to-side motion until you stop the van or slow to a crawl. This, of course, still happens in a truck, but to a lesser degree unless you’ve got an extremely tall camper in the bed.

AG: I’m really glad we don’t have a high roof—that would make me really anxious. Here in New Mexico where it’s so windy, it’s really nice having the low one, and we still feel like it’s like a wind magnet—I can’t imagine having the tall one. We never feel like we’re getting pushed around by wind in the truck, but the van feels like that a lot.

Jen Judge: The other thing about the van is there’s not as much storage or space inside, so things are sort of floating freely around more. When we take it up super rough roads, stuff flies around, and it’s super noisy. It’s harder to kind of keep stuff in place in the van, so I feel like things inside get beat up more on rougher roads than in a truck.

Any noticeable differences between the two on snow covered roads? 

AG: I’ve taken the van up to the ski hill a couple of times. It’s terrible unless you’re in 4-high, but it seemed fine in 4-high.

JJ: The worst thing is our van doesn’t have a shift-on-the-fly system, so you have to stop and put it in neutral no matter what.

CC: Most of my experience living out of either platform was chasing sunny 75-degree weather, so my snow experience is limited. From the experiences we did have with them in snow, both platforms were capable and predictable.

If you had to pick between a truck with a camper and a van, what would you choose?

CC: Overall, I believe the van is the more spacious and comfortable platform to live in, but if I planned to leave the pavement regularly, I’d want the capability of a 4×4 truck to get me where I need to go and back again. It’s definitely part of the reason we now drive a full-size Dodge.

JJ: I feel like the van actually has the advantage. It’s really close capability-wise for our comfort level driving in the backcountry, but it’s a lot easier to drive around town. I would drive it around town every day, whereas the truck is tough. I feel like if you’re going to have one vehicle, it’s a better choice.

AG: If you’re a person who likes to be outside a lot when you camp and be in the weather, I think a truck is great. If you prefer  more comfort, then the van is great. It’s not going to be quite as capable as a truck, but for the majority of people for what they’re doing, I don’t know that most people are going to be so adventurous in their driving that it’s going to make a difference. I do feel like if I’m honest, there’s probably not many scenarios where we would take the truck that we wouldn’t take the van.

From saving on gas to driving with kids, here's your ultimate road trip planner

"Easy Travel” is a 10-part series focusing on how to reduce bumps during vacations, anticipate roadblocks and be ready when things aren’t going your way. If you'd like to contribute to our future reporting and share your experience as a source, you can click here to fill out this quick form .

Ina Daly has spent most of her life on the road.

“My dad was a truck driver and that led me to becoming a truck driver,” she said. “What we do in a day, on a daily job would be like a long road trip to most people.”

With nearly 40 years of driving for freight transportation services provider XPO and numerous industry accolades under her belt, including grand champion at this year’s Arizona Truck Driving Championship , Daly is a pro. She’s also a mom and a grandmother who’s happy to share her experiences to make everyone’s road trips better.

“Some of the things I'm telling you are what we truckers tell our family members,” she said. “I've had a lot of accomplishments in my career and going to the National Truck Driving Championships (this month) is a reward, but the bigger reward is being able to share some things … that have the potential to save lives.”

What to do before a long drive

“Make sure that your vehicle’s road trip ready,” Daly said. ”Really pay close attention to your tires, your coolant, your fan belt.”

She notes tire dealers often offer free inspections to ensure tires are properly inflated and undamaged.

AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz advises getting the whole car serviced before hitting the road.

“If you're a car person and you can, do that yourself at home, by all means,” she said. Otherwise, she recommends getting the oil changed and battery and tires checked professionally. 

To save time and avoid stress, Diaz also suggests filling up on gas the night before leaving and making hotel reservations well in advance, noting that many hotels allow cancellations without penalty up until the day beforehand. 

What do you need before a road trip?

It’s always good to keep an emergency kit with supplies like first aid, a flashlight and extra batteries, and basic tools in the vehicle.

“You want to make sure that if you do have a tire issue, you have the proper tools and jacks in your vehicle to be able to change it,” Daly said. She said warning signals like reflective triangles can also warn other drivers to steer clear in the event of a breakdown.

For road trips, both she and Diaz recommend shelf-stable snacks like protein bars that won’t melt and plenty of water. “Don't think that a bottle or two for everybody is enough,” Daly said. “You've got to have, you know, five or six bottles for everyone.” 

Diaz also recommends wet wipes, blankets during the winter, and any time-sensitive medication or pet food that might be needed in the event of an extended delay.

“These things ideally wouldn't take up too much room in your trunk but they're just good to have in case of an emergency,” Diaz said. “Just think, ‘If I were stuck for a long time, what would keep me comfortable until I was able to (get) help?’”  

A printed map and a general sense of the route can also help in case there GPS hiccups or a phone dies.  AAA’s free TripTik planner can help travelers plot their trips in advance and find rest stops, lodging, food and gas along the way. And its free Gas Cost Calculator can help locate the cheapest average gas prices for drivers when it’s time to refuel.

What I should know before a road trip?

“Everything can be a distraction in the car – the radio, the kids, etc. But the phone is a big one,” Daly advised. “When you’re driving, that thing should not ever be in your hand.”

More than 3,500 people were killed on U.S. roads in 2021 because of distracted driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration . 

Daly also recommends watching out for distracted drivers.

“You can tell a distracted driver by their fluctuating speed,” she warned. “They're drifting in their lane. Their head is looking down instead of focusing on the road. You want to give those people a wide berth.”

How long will a road trip take?

Road trips always take longer than expected because of traffic, construction and other things that arise en route.

Diaz says to expect at least an hour longer than whatever the GPS predicts. Daly recommends leaving at least two hours early.

“You don't want that stressful drive,” Daly said. “You’re hurrying. That lends to bad driving behaviors like tailgating and speeding, which leads to accidents. Don’t put yourself in that situation.”

How many hours a day should you drive on a road trip?

“It just varies so much from person to person, how long they’re comfortable driving,” Diaz said. “We want to err on the side of safety. We want people to be safe on the roads and drive the speed limit and not rush it, but everybody's different.”

Switching out drivers can lighten the load, but no matter who is driving, Daly said, “If you're starting to feel a little, less attentive, maybe a little fatigued, it’s time to take a break.”

What time is best to drive?

“We always recommend, especially during the holidays, leave early in the morning,” Diaz said. “The later you leave in the day, the worse it's going to be because a lot of times during the week … you're going to mix with those commuters on the road.”

“Some people enjoy night driving,” she added. “Once you get to like 8 p.m., 9 p.m. traffic comes down a lot.” 

However, she noted drivers who leave in the evening should watch out for fatigue and plan to drive less than if they started fresh in the morning.

How do you take a good road trip with kids? 

When possible, Daly recommends having a designated passenger to help with kids so the driver can focus on the road.  

Another important thing is to keep seatbelts on the whole way.

“Kids have a tendency to take those off,” Daly said. “Make sure they stay buckled up. I've seen some horrible things out there.”

'I just want to see more of us': The importance of seeing people like you while traveling

What do kids need on a road trip?

Entertainment helps pass the time, but it doesn’t have to be digital. There are all sorts of screen-free road trip games . 

Diaz recommends printing a map or list of sites or cities for kids to watch for along the way.

“You know, yell it out or mark it on your sheet,” she said. “Have some crayons in the car with them so they're following along on the trip, and they feel like they're part of it.”

“Point out historical landmarks and scenery; enjoy nature,” Daly echoed. “That's one of the things that we truck drivers love about our jobs is we get to see the country and nature.”

Stop at points of interest every few hours or simply for everyone to stretch their legs.

And for those times when kids are on screens, make sure to pack car chargers.

What is the best way to save gas?

Don’t speed. 

“Fuel economy peaks at around 50 miles per hour on most cars, and then it drops off as the speeds increase,” Diaz said. “You think, ‘OK, if I just go 70, I'm going to get there faster, and it'll be better,’ but essentially, you're just wasting gas at that point." Fuel economy can be increased by as much as 15% by reducing highway speeds by 5 to 10 miles per hour, she said.

Don’t idle unnecessarily either, like at rest stops.

“Your car engine consumes about a quarter to a half a gallon of fuel per hour while it's idling,” she said. “But a warm engine only takes about 10 seconds’ worth of fuel to restart, so if it's safe to do so, just shut off your engine.”

Story continues below.

What happens if my tire blows out?

“When you blow a tire, kaboom, it freaks you out. Do not panic,” Daly said. “Don't slow down abruptly or brake hard or jerk the wheel because that will cause you to lose control and have an accident.”

“Just focus on steering,” she added. “Slow very gradually, off to the side of the road in a safe area, and you won’t have any issue from your blown tire.”

How do you drive around semitrucks?

“Be aware of our needs and limitations,” Daly said. “You know we’re big. We need a lot of space around us. We have big blind spots. … If you can’t see the truck driver’s face in the mirrors of the truck, the truck driver can’t see you.”

She advised against passing on the right. 

“If you have to pass quickly, don’t linger over there. We see people driving over there for the shade (and it) puts us in a very dangerous situation,” she said. “And don’t cut in front of us and then hit your breaks. People don’t like to follow a truck because they can’t see around us, so they pass us and then cut in front of us.”

“It takes away that safety cushion we leave in front of us,” she added. “When you see all that space in front of a truck, that's not for your convenience so that you can pass us and cut into it. That’s for our safety and yours.”

By the same token, she advised fellow drivers to leave plenty of space in front of their own vehicles, so they have enough room to stop quickly in an emergency. If another driver cuts into that space, she suggested, “Take a break. Slow down again. Recreate that space. Bite your tongue and think pure thoughts.”

That last tip may not be so easy.

Dear Abby: Women who demand I love their dogs are emotionally unbalanced

• Published: May. 17, 2024, 8:08 a.m.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips.

• Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: What is this thing about dogs? I see women on dating sites saying, “You must love my dog,” and I find it really annoying. I know some women adore their dogs, but demanding that a man should love your dog if he really cares about you is insane.

What’s the matter with these women? I think they’re emotionally unbalanced. -- IRRITATED IN GEORGIA

DEAR IRRITATED: There is a school of thought that if someone wants loyalty and constancy, the way to find it is to adopt a dog. For some people, regardless of gender, their dog becomes like their child, and anyone becoming romantically involved with them must accept that it will be a package deal.

Because you are not an animal lover, these women would not be an appropriate match for you.
