The last few years have highlighted how important it is to step away from our daily lives from time to time. They’ve also been a reminder that you can travel without suffering the airport hordes or stepping foot on a plane. We currently find ourselves in something of a golden age for luxury campers and trailers, which has made it easier than ever to take your life on the road without sacrificing comfort. And now, there are plenty of brands and shops giving the same treatment to vans. They may not be able to sleep as many people as their hulking cousins, but these all-in-one vehicles come loaded with creature comforts such as high-end kitchens, Wi-Fi-enabled multimedia systems and plush beds. Plus, their relatively smaller size means they are more agile, off-road friendly and easier to park.

See the 13 campers that will let you experience #vanlife in comfort and style.

Custom builder Outside Van just introduced the ultimate Sprinter for self-sufficient and adventurous cyclists. Called Tails, this 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 144 is built for dedicated riders mobbing down single track deep in the woods of British Columbia, trekking upwards on petrified sand dunes of Moab, embracing joyous torture that is cyclocross, and everything in-between. Inside and out, Tails is a complete mobile bike mechanic station. A handful of Tails’ many bells and whistles include a garage gear glider, custom tool rolls, Park Tools repair stand, rear door flip-down worktable, Molle panels, and an ARB air compressor with multiple attachment sites. Exterior utility ladders secure up to four bikes.

The warm spring and summer months open the doors, quite literally, to a myriad of activities under the sun. While the weather is perfect for taking your camper van for weekend trips up to the mountains or off the grid, there’s only so far you can get on four wheels. And since space is limited inside these class Bs, they don’t leave much room for a more agile secondary vehicle, let alone two or three. Now, Portland-based company Outside Van seeks to shake up the industry a bit with a specialized sleeper made specifically for cyclists so you can get to the harder-to-reach spots on the map — and you won’t always have to do it alone, either.

The Portland-based custom shop has just unveiled a new model called Tails aimed specifically at avid riders. With room for up to six bikes, it’s well-suited for the kind of camper who views the campground as little more than the starting point for a much bigger two-wheel adventure. Like so many other top camper vans on the market, Tails is based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Outside Van doesn’t specify what powertrain is under the hood, but it has an all-wheel-drive system that all but guarantees it’s a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6.
