Starting with a 159.0-inch long-wheelbase Ram
ProMaster van, Off Grid Adventure Vans will build
you a camper in one of four layouts: Rambler,
Summit, Vagabond, or Sandstone.
Happily, all four builds are affordable. After first
buying the underlying ProMaster (about $36,000),
customers need only shell out $42,500 for the entry-
level Rambler setup. The Summit runs the same
$42,500, and even the top-dog Vagabond and
Sandstone models cost just $43,950–$44,950 apiece.
The differences between Off Grid’s designs are
minimal and mostly concern the bed’s integra-
tion; it can be fixed or a fold-out Murphy-style unit.
Optional extras include an outdoor shower, a heater,
a composting toilet, an extra solar panel, and a hot
water system. Contact: ogavans.com


Thor Industries’ Tellaro Class B camper van represents more
traditional, European-style RVs but still starts at less than the
six-figure threshold.
Yes, it’s another Ram ProMaster–based camper van. This one
uses the heavier-duty 3500 chassis, and it of fers three floor plans
and seating for four. Overall length is just shy of 21 feet, and within


that space, it has a wet bath/toilet, refrigerator, two-burner gas
cooktop, convection microwave, and stainless-steel kitchen sink.
The entry-level 20LT Tellaro starts at $91,875 with two twin beds
that can connect. For about $3,000 more, the 20AT floor plan offers
a retractable pop-top for additional headroom and a sky bunk,
plus additional sleeping options. Contact: thormotorcoach.com

The Solis hails from one of the RV industry’s mainstays,
Winnebago, and is also based on the Ram ProMaster, making it
both manageably sized and priced. It justifies its $107,821 price
tag in a variety of ways—but we readily admit the Solis won us
over with a single luxury camper van feature: its heated bath-
room. Nobody wants a chilly throne, right?
The rest of the Solis camper van is well equipped, with a
pop-up roof for standing space, a reconfigurable bed, swiveling
front seats that can flip to face the living area, and full insulation
in the walls and for the plumbing, so the vehicle can be parked
and used in wildly varied climates. Contact: winnebago.com
