Its slick retro-style livery is offset with loads of useful off-roading gear, too, such as an LED light package, a roof rack and a side ladder and custom wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich K02 tires. It’s a true 4×4 powered by a 188 hp turbodiesel V-6 that’s strong enough to tow an additional 5,000 pounds. The Beast Mode 4×4 is the outfit’s most feature-packed model yet and was designed specifically for overlanding (as you may have guessed from the company’s name). This latest offering from Storyteller Overland, based in Birmingham, Ala., is a true adventure van. Best for Camping (Anywhere): Storyteller Overland Beast Mode 4×4.Has room for six bikes, even when its convertible sleeping area is out. The back of the van is basically a bicycle-repair shop with a fold-down table, an air compressor and plenty of storage space for tools. The Marco Polo is a concept, but Mercedes will sell a module that will allow you to turn any EQT into a camper van when the $51,500 EV goes on sale in the spring. There’s also a pop-up, roof-mounted tent if your travel party includes more than two. The kitchen doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some of the other entries on this list, but it does have a pull-out stove, fridge and sink. When the van’s rear seats are folded down, the back can be used as either a sleeping area with room for a double bed or a cooking and entertaining space. The stylish EV has everything you need for a weekend at the campground and is more compact than the ubiquitous Sprinter. At last year’s Düsseldorf Caravan Salon, the German marque showed off a prototype based on its upcoming all-electric EQT van called the Marco Polo. Mercedes-Benz clearly doesn’t want to relinquish its title as the go-to van maker for outdoor lovers.
