Editor’s Note: This post was originally published on March 27, 2017 and has been updated for comprehensiveness.
Have you ever seen an rv DRIVER who is a wheelchair-user with an accessible/ADA RV with a lift?
We met a gentleman at an RV Show who had a custom Class B RV that he was able to get in and out of with a lift. I don’t recall the name of the camper manufacturer, but I do know Winnebago makes what they call “accessibility enhanced” RVs with lifts.
I know 2 gals who have had conversions by Custom Coach Creation. I visited their shop in Deland FL with one of the ladies when they finished her van, and they are a nice group of folks. In the gallery of Completed Coaches, hers is “2014 Carole Custom Sprinter RV Build”. She lives in it fulltime and loves what they did for her.
https://customcoachcreations.com/
Have you checked out the Embassy PRL (and other models) by SVO group. It’s emphasis is on all electric (no propane, no generator) and no wood in the vehicle. Would love to see you try one and give a review. Website is http://www.embassyrv.com. Thanks for all you do for the class b rv/van community!
I’ve been researching Embassy RVs lately (https://embassyrv.com). Haven’t seen one yet, but the website looks promising. It’s kind of a custom manufacturer but limited, so the cost is lower. Doesn’t use wood (all aluminum framework), no propane, and you can upgrade to a 600 amp battery with Bluetooth to a smartphone. It can be built on a Promaster, Transit or Sprinter in three different lengths.
You may want to check them out… they are out of Elkhart Indiana.
Here are 2 more manufacturers from Québec:
https://www.cosyroad.ca
https://panoramicrv.com/
Have you seen the Vandoit vans and if so have you ever considered it as an option for you?
I am looking at it due to the simplicity and lower cost.
However, I am waiting for the 2020 version with AWD and considering adding the upgraded wheels instead of adding Quigley 4 x 4.
It seems like it would be a good option for what you both like.
Hi Ellie. We’ve seen a couple of them at the van gatherings but haven’t had a chance to explore in detail yet. Hope to change that soon.
Thor Motor Coach appears to be tossing their hat into the ring of Class B’s with the Sequence.
https://www.thormotorcoach.com/motorhomes/class-b-motorhomes/sequence/
Here’s another van conversion company in the Portland area that I recently discovered, Benchmark Vehicles. More of a weekender style but could work if built for full time. It will be interesting to see if they offer the upcoming AWD Transit since the current 4WD conversion is pretty expensive.

Have you heard of Off The Grid Adventure Vans, Frederick, MD?
Hey Bill. We recently found out about their van conversions from a friend
OUTSTANDING! WOW!, You put tons of time, and effort into this article, very informative. As I had mentioned I am simply fed up with RV dealers, and Sales people.I Too will be building on one of these platforms. Maybe even a 3500 NV high top so I can have a Quigly 4X4 conversion one day. All in good time.
Thank you again for all the work you put into your Blog, WebSite, YouTube, News Letters, Patron page,,,well……everything. Love you Guys! C-Ya!,,,,,Peace!
Thanks Nat – so happy you enjoyed the post and found it so helpful!
I appreciate all the information. A great list.
Another possible addition to your list
Off-Grid Adventure Vans, Frederick, MD
https://www.ogavans.com/
Very nice list! There are a great number of us who for one reason or another must live life from a wheelchair. I know Sportsmobility offers accessible designs, could you please let us know what manufacturers offer Class B Camper Vans that are wheelchair accessible? I applaud those manufacturers who provide this type of universal design and wish others would see the light.
The easiest way for my wife and me to travel this great country of ours is in our wheelchair accessible van. However, finding motels whos ADA rooms that meet my needs is difficult so a camper van offers us and others like us an alternative when we cannot find a “true” ADA room or are in an area where there are not motels.
On behalf of those of us who must rellie on wheelchairs in our daily life, we would appreciate this information. Thank you Bob Fleege, Iowa
Have you seen ZenVanz.com? I really like the marine style awning that can withstand gale force winds.
I will be new to RV but have studied them alot. My question is I have narrowed the RV I want for 2 seniors to a Leisure Unity 2019 Twin Bed with Mercedes chassis are Coach House Twin Bed with Mercedes chassis preowned. What is your opinion for RV Seniors that like room but need no more then 26 feet ?
Everyone is different so we can’t give you an opinion one way or another. Our suggestion is to spend time in each, pretend to live out of it and see which one you prefer.
Great list. You know your Class B’s.
Have you thought about using a company like https://www.alaskacampervanconversions.com
The quality of work they do is amazing. He used to buold yachts. His quality is on par with Advanced RV without the glitz. I think a Ford Transit with 4×4 conversion done by these guys would be a great fit for you!
A big Ford with Quigley conversion is a thought as well. Maybe a Pleasureway Excel with Quigley?
Hey Ken – we haven’t considered them. There are a lot of companies out there doing great work so it’s hard to try and see / consider them all.
Hi! We enjoy your videos and website. The info offered on this page is so useful! We are looking at converting an econoline 350 super duty 15 passenger van into a 4×4 via UJoint Offroad in NC and upfitting the inside through Blue Ridge Adventure Vehicles in NC (both in Asheville). The e350 van we are considering is black. How much impact, if any, would you say your black Hymer Aktiv had on your overall comfort (temperature-wise) inside your class b? Did the fan/sundshield while parked take care of the interior heat, if you did have increased interior warmth due to the black, or did you find the air conditioner essential on those days? Would you buy a black van again?
Thanks!
http://www.ujointoffroad.com
http://www.blueridgeadventurevehicles.com/about-us
Hey guys – we would not get a dark colored van again. It would get much hotter than white vans on hot days. A white van, we could put our hand on and it was a bit warm. Our van, you could cook an egg on the hood.
Have you looked at Glampervan? Small Promaster, optional deck on the roof.
Hi Russos
We are family of four looking into 1yr RV adventure in North America starting this summer.
Do you have any RV suggestions that may fit our needs? Our wishes are we can have the RV that can be parked in the regular parking spaces and have decent sleeping area for 2 adults and 2 kids ( age 12 girl and 9 boy) with a bathroom. Hymer Active 2.0 with roof top option seemed to be best choice but I hear recent changes with company and not sure if it is worth investing. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you!
Chris
Hey Chris – we’d suggest you go to a few RV shows (here’s a list: http://weretherussos.com/rv-shows/) and looking through different makes models. I would think that four people in a van would be difficult for a year so you may want to look at something that’s a bit bigger. The other problem you’re going to run into is that all RVs have a limited amount of carrying capacity (there is always a yellow sticker on one of the doors that states the GVWR and carrying capacity of the RV). With a full tank of water, four people and all of your stuff, you’re going to be hard pressed not to exceed the carrying capacity of many of the vans, the pop-tops especially since the top adds a lot of extra weight to the build. A small/mid sized Class C RV might be a better option, but again, take the whole family shopping and try mock living out of different things and see what fits. Good luck!
Looking forward to see what van you choose. It is of particular interest to me because I share your layout and van size preferences. I keep hoping for more European design influence on North American manufacturers. Also waiting for the 2019 Sprinter.
Thank you!! I have been searching for such a list for a long time. You have made my research for my dream RV a lot easier. Happy travels….
Hi there from Texas 🙂 Love following you guys. Presently have Class A. Too much RV for us and ready for a Class B. My husband, 6’5″ ,needs height on inside and I would rather have dry bath or more room in bathroom. Suggestions? Thank You
Unfortunately at 6’5 you’re going to have very few if any options that have enough head room. Take a look at vans on the Ford Transit chassis which has the highest roof, but even then it may not be high enough. Another option is to consider a small C like Leisure Travel Vans.
We love your stuff. We are looking at a Class B but sometimes need extra space. Do you know anyone who has pulled one of the little tagalong trailers with their B or B+? (Like a T@G or something like that.) I know they can pull them I am more wondering if campgrounds give grief for having two units on one site even though one is really the tow vehicle.
Hey Brian. We don’t know anything personally with a setup like that, but we have seen Class B RVs and small Class C RVs pulling lightweight travel trailers at campgrounds. Since campgrounds have different policies, I recommend giving them a call to find out if you can have two units in each spot.
Thanks
Keep up the great work!
Great list, so helpful, thank you. Suggestion: Make a list of RVs available in North America that offer a cassette toilet. I know that list is short now with the Hymer Activ being almost alone, but I suspect the list will grow. Or perhaps just add a flag for this feature on this list here.
When will somebody use the ford transit under 20’? Or the Mercedes new gas version? Class b rv
i agree. i want something non a ford transit under 20’. any suggestions of the Class B gas version under 20?
Hate to give up camping, but now sleep in recliner at home due to OA. Would like a class B motorhome. Help.
Please also add TouRig out of Golden, Colorardo for Sprinter Van conversions. We considered having Outside Vans do our conversion but TouRig is closer and their work is easily on par with Outside Vans.
Thanks,
Tim
Hi, I love your vlog. We are seriously considering getting the new Aktiv 2.0 with Loft pop top camper and going on the road full time with our three kids age 7, 7, and 9. I just don’t want to drive a giant RC and the Aktiv 2.0 with loft is the smallest fully functional RV that can sleep all of 5 of us. Seems crazy though. But I really want to try.
Do you not consider the Leisure Travel Vans, Class B?
No they’re small class C’s. They used to make B’s but no longer.

Another to add to your list is 5marsrv out of Canada. Here’s the link: http://www.5marsvr.com/home.html
Thanks Sam! We just saw one of these on the road today.
I was so glad to see you add 5Mars! I have an Illusion and love, love, love it.
Awesome @Nicole-Helene. A 5Mars is high on my list of desirable things. I wish they would design something with a shower inside that would put 5Mars in my top 5.
Just realized another one that isn’t on the list. Sunlight, which is also under the Hymer umbrella. http://sunlightrv.com/
Hi. Thanks for compiling this list. It seems the one truly customizable will be sportsmobile. Although not sure if even they can help. Due to medical issues we are looking for a “day tripper” van. We need my feet raised for long rides and a marine toilet. We don’t want to cook but would like fridge and microwave for overnight or long rides. We need storage space for a very small mobility scooter and that seems to be the hitch for most styles. Hubby wants Chevy or Ford ideally. Any other customizing company ideas welcome. We really are looking for a unique hybrid between tailgating and long ride comfort.
In my research, I have found this company that customizes vans. RB Components
Hi Kate,
I wanted to add to your list GTRV. We bought one used in 2007 to replace our VW Vanagon. We have taken 2 multi-months cross country trips and multiple shorter adventures in ours. We love for you to stop by our blog: http://www.travelsinabbey.wordpress.com
I’ve been enjoying your videos as we have been researching our next step in life.
Jelane
Thanks Jelane! It’s been added to the list. Enjoy your travels in the GTRV!
How is yhe beat way to serch for a used class b travel an?
Hey, thanks for the comprehensive list and also for your vlog efforts that have been very helpful in sending me down the path of using a Class B for a combo business office and mobile tiny home on wheels – I appreciate your time and efforts and letting others benefit from your experiences (blazing the trail).
Ok, I have a narrow perspective here since I am looking for a) an established, experienced, reputable company with a warranty; b) reasonable pricing with functionality over luxury; c) a product with options; d) something I can use during the winter as needed (freezing but not sub-zero); and e) STEALTH (nothing boxy or RV-ish, no wild paint swoops, and less than 20 feet).
As I see it, that narrows the field to Pleasure-Way, Hymer (Roadtrek/Hymer/Carado), Sportsmobile and maybe Winnebago (the aforementioned paint swoops on their “Revel” is an issue). I’d appreciate feedback if I missed an established company here that also has reasonable pricing. So, my question: outside of Sportsmobile, is any other company able to a) alter their options to include a cassette or portable potty instead of a marine toilet (I’ll always be in urban areas); b) swap out the propane for all electric; and c) address how to deal with the issue of the fresh water tank freezing during the winter? Seems like Sportsmobile is my one and only choice (they can do all three)?
Keep up the nice site and I also look forward to reading Joe’s book “Take Risks.” I will also be looking for a book/site (any recommendations?) on how best to stay connected with the internet/cloud via wi-fi or smartphone connection as I will use the van for a mobile office during the day. Thanks Joe and Kait!
Jim — the Revel w/o the swoop design has no propane, cassette potty, under 20feet, functionality over luxury, and the lines are more protected for cold temps — Mercedes price is only drawback.
Hello there,
I learned that class A RV can expect to discount anywhere between 25-30% off of window sticker. Does this go same for the class B van conversion RV’s such as the one you own?
Thanks, you guys are so much fun to watch.
Richard
With any type of RV regardless of class, it depending on the manufacturer, model and how popular they are with people.
Have you ever checked out the Nexus RVs? Wondering if they are well made and a reliable company.
Hi,
Are you familiar with GTRV in Sebastapol, California? Mike Reed builds beautiful Class Bs on many van bases. He specialises in pop-tops, making “garageable” RVs. I visited his shop several years ago and was very impressed. I need a vehicle that will fit in my garage to avoid expensive storage fees. My HOA prohibits parking RVs in driveways or on the street.
Hi Cynthia,
No we’re not familiar with them. Took a quick look at the site and they seem interesting. Not something for us as we prefer the high top vans since we don’t need something that’s garageable. Another option would be Sportsmobile who also builds pop tops on vans and the Mercedes Metris. You can see their Metris in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOb-G_8-tO4
Thanks so much for compiling this ! I’m looking at Class B motorhomes and wanted to find one based on the Ford Transit chassis, so this made it quick & easy.
Also, I’d love to see a longer-term review of your Hymer as a vehicle after you’ve owned it awhile longer (so primarily a review of the Promaster as a van suited, or not, to Class B conversion). Reliability, service issues, etc…
Hi guys, just started following you guys. I’m in process of deciding between a small Class C or a big Class B. I like the idea of just one vehicle and not towing. The vans are all so expensive though, and I worry about storage.
We live out of our van full time and have more than enough storage – but we also only have what is necessary. The Class C’s are much wider, have slides, etc and will be, in our opinion, more difficult to use as a primary vehicle.
The Airstream dealer tells me their class B is freeze proof, but I’m not so sure. Are y’all planning on doing any camping where the nights get down below freezing? I have seen where some people apply Ultra Heat to their tanks.
Thanks for all the great videos!
Hey Ron.
If it get’s cold enough, anything will freeze. I would contact Airstream and find out what their rigs are rated for. We try to stay away from any freezing temps, especially because our current water tank is exposed and we can not withstand long periods of freezing cold.
Hi there! Great resource you have built here! However, notably missing is Leisure Vans (formerly Triple E) out of Winkler MB. Canada. We’ve looked at a lot of different motorhomes, primarily Class B, and we keep coming back to them. They’re not the cheapest ones out there, but their designs are exceptional and their quality can’t be beat. https://leisurevans.com/
Hey Danny! We also looked at Leisure Travel Vans and liked the Wonder. Which model are you considering? The reason we didn’t include LTV because their RVs are considered more as a B+ or small C.
Cannot wait to see what you chose. Have really missed seeing you both on a regular basis via youtube and look forward to you, hopefully, resuming vlog.
Candace
