Whether you’re looking to run away to the beach or would rather stake out a secluded campsite high in the hills, there are plenty of trailers and even tiny homes to help you go off-grid. 

But one particular type of RV has shed its stodgy reputation amid a new surge in popularity: the Class B van. Packed full of amenities and with way more functionality than the stuffy motorhomes of yesterday, new Class B vans are easy to park, get better gas mileage than many other RVs, and can easily tow small boats or toy haulers.

Below, take a look at five inventive camper vans you can buy in North America right now, and don’t miss our other guides on affordable vans, teardrop trailers, and the European vans we wish we could buy.

All of the cabinets and RV components can be completely removed so that the van can also be used as a cargo van.
