Outside Van Intros 2 Sprinter-Based Adventure B-Vans

PORTLAND, Ore. – An undertaking years in the making is finally complete for Outside Van. Widely known in the adventure van space with more than 20 years of custom-build experience, mass-producing two financeable Class B RVs opens its doors to larger audiences through dealership expansion, according to a press release from the company.

Referred to as “Outside Van South” due to its close but southern proximity to Outside Van’s current manufacturing facility, a 130,000-square-foot building exclusively produces Outside Van’s newest offerings.

The company’s first offering, Approach, takes shape on a 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 170 AWD chassis, offering to seat and sleep up to four, a modular dinette, full galley kitchen, interior shower, and is now available at select RV dealerships nationwide.

The upcoming Syncline rests on a 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 144 AWD chassis while providing seating and sleeping for two. Both builds encapsulate everything an individual or family would need to get rolling into the outdoors without skimping on necessities. These models were designed from practical experience, built by leading craftspeople and utilize industry-leading components. With a focus on quality, the release stated that these vans are unlike anything else seen at a typical RV dealership.

Deciding to produce two adventure-focused Class B RVs to build upon its foundation of custom van conversions was an obvious next step for the two-decade industry veteran firm. Susan Clemo, Outside Van’s CEO said, “We’ve never been a company to stay the same, to do only what we’re comfortable with. Our beginnings were in tackling each custom build with its unique quirks and one-of-a-kind features.”

True to its style, Outside Vans has done things differently by releasing models after producing hundreds of custom builds. “Our experience in the deep end of adventure van conversions has prepared us for the more traditional route of model production while maintaining our commitment to high-end quality,” Clemo added.

More details about the company’s flagship models have been shared. Tim Wimmer, engineering director, discussed which chassis size to build first. “We knew we were giving ourselves a challenge when deciding to create two distinct models, each on a different chassis size. We could recycle design elements between our 144 and 170, but that wouldn’t be us. Each model, Approach and Syncline, have unique features and are built with different customers in mind.”

With plenty of space for four adults, Approach will be an excellent choice for families and those with lots of gear to haul. Wimmer adds, “The most common chassis size we build on is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 170. We wanted to get the most approachable van out to our community first. As production of our first 144, Syncline ramps up; we’ve already learned a lot which will make for smoother sailing with this build.” The official release of Syncline is hinted at in Quarter 4 of 2023.
