These vans are literally made for adventure in any landscape. They can serve as a daily driver, weekend getaway or full-time home on wheels.

REASONS WHY YOU WANT A CLASS B VAN:
EASIEST DRIVING MANEUVERABILITY

Class B vans are by far the easiest type of adventure mobile to park and maneuver because of their compact size. Many also offer off-road capabilities so you don’t have to compromise your adventure due to lack of accessibility. These vans are also quite comfortable and offer a smooth drive, making your travel experience more enjoyable and stress-free.

GREAT FOR BOONDOCKING
If you’re a weekend warrior or like to camp off the grid, a Class B is right up your alley. Add solar to your van, bring a mountain bike or your recreational adventure toys and you’ll be able to enjoy nature sans plugins, neighbors, and fees.

EASY EVERYDAY PARKING
Things to consider about your travel experience: Are you often stopping and parking in town? Do you enjoy finding the best local restaurant or coffee shop when on road trips? A Class B van provide ease and peace of mind when it comes to navigating small spaces and finding parking. Class B’s come in handy at campgrounds as well. Because they are the smallest of classes, they can fit in any spot, giving you the most options (and often most affordable) when choosing your campsite.

BETTER GAS MILAGE
Class B vans are the most fuel-efficient RV. This means less money spent on getting you to your destination, allowing you to invest more in adventure.

 

 

CUTTING-EDGE RV TECHNOLOGY
From Winnebago’s SmartSpace design approach, created to maximize living and storage space, to Roadtrek’s solar panel options which provide sustainable energy while boondocking without the need for onboard power generators, Class B vans have the reputation for constantly offering the greatest and latest technology and innovation.

EASIER TO STORE
Don’t want to rent a garage or storage unit to store your van when you’re home? No problem. Class Bs are compact, making them the perfect non-eye sore recreation vehicle. The best place to store your Class B is in your own driveway.

 

 

IDEAL FOR SOLO TRAVELERS & SMALL FAMILIES
Because they are compact in size, easy to park, and comfortable to drive, Class B vans are the go-to adventure van for solo travelers with pets, couples, and small families. A common praise we hear from Class B owners is the ease all travelers have of taking the wheel.

THEY LOOK COOL
It’s not the biggest reason to get a Class B, but it sure doesn’t hurt that they are some of the coolest looking vans on the market. We especially love the Winnebago’s throw back to the VW buss with their Solis pop-top van.
