Rossmönster Reveals Adventurous Skye Camper Van

Rossmönster, a brand best known for its burly adventure trucks, is bringing its years of design and manufacturing expertise to the Class B market. Yesterday, the company took the wraps off what it calls “the most capable 170” Sprinter van on the market, which comes our way in the form of the Skye, a rugged off-road model that deftly combines both performance and comfort.

So, how exactly does the Skye camper van stand out in the increasingly crowded Class B space? Well, for starters, it’s made by Rossmönster, which means it offers a build quality that matches or exceeds anything else currently available. It’s also designed from the ground up for off-grid, off-road camping, with the capability to take you just about anywhere you want to go in style and comfort. That starts with using the Sprinter chassis, which provides a reliable and proven base to build upon.

After that, Rossmönster went to work doing its thing, giving the Skye a custom-built interior unlike anything currently on the market. Highlights include a plush queen-size bed that conveniently folds into a storage compartment, freeing up extra space when not in use. The rig also comes with a hydronic heated floor, an onboard bathroom with a shower and cassette toilet, and seating for four people. The roomy kitchen especially stands out, with a two-burner induction cooktop, a microwave that doubles as an air fryer, and a 150L refrigerator/freezer. But most impressive of all is the 12′ countertop, which is perfect for meal prep or as a workspace while on the road.

As noted, the Skye camper van is made for of-grid adventures, which are made easier thanks to a 400W solar panel, a 1,000Ah LiFePo4 house battery, and a 3,000W inverter. A high-amp alternator charger powers up the batteries while driving, and a shore power connection provides electricity when staying at a traditional campsite. The exterior also comes equipped with a KC light bar, a Lippert powered awning, and an array of accessories from Owl Vans, including running boards, a rear ladder/tire carrier. Optional upgrades include a rugged bumper, an Owl cargo carrier, and a pop-top tent that brings the sleeping capacity to four.

One of the most intriguing aspects of this van is that it is the first repeat-production model in Rossmönster’s history. Normally, the company works with each individual client, building a custom adventure truck to meet their specific needs. But with the Skye, the brand delivers its trademark precision craftsmanship and design sensibilities in a vehicle with greater availability, making it accessible to a larger audience.
