If you enjoy traveling in a camper van, there are a few options that stand out from the crowd as being among the best. This article will focus on the top-of-the-line camper vans, which mean they generally come with a high price tag, too. If you’re looking for a more economical option, your best bet is probably to buy a more affordable model, or just a standard van, and then modify it to suit your specific needs. This is especially true if you intend to take longer road trips or excursions that will require effectively living out of the camper van for an extended period of time. If, however, you just want to take a camper van on a road trip and enjoy comfortable accommodations as you travel, these are some of the best vehicles you’ll find.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter campers are the ultimate in luxury camper vans, so much so that many of the others on this list are built on the same chassis, or have some modification based off the Mercedes Sprinters. These camper vans are more of a small motorhome than a traditional van, but they’re still compact, powerful, and easy to maneuver just like a typical van. Definitely the place to start if you want to camp in style while still enjoying plenty of mobility.
Winnebago Revel
As mentioned above, many on this list are built on the chassis of the Mercedes Sprinters and the Winnebago Revel is one of them. Like the Mercedes, the Winnebago comes in a variety of models and floorplans that you can choose from based on your camping and travel needs. The Winnebago camper vans get good gas mileage (between 18-22 miles per gallon on the highway) and have four-wheel drive that will allow you to tackle more difficult terrain with ease.

Volkswagen California 6.1
Volkswagen has long been a mainstay in the camper van world, with models like the Westfalia and Vanagan being some of the originals. Their current models feature an upgrade on their initial offerings, including an expanding roof to create more space, a kitchen with everything you’ll need to cook any meal, and room enough to sleep up to four people. While still not cheap, the Volkswagen is the most affordable camper van you’ll find on this list.
Roadtrek Zion
If you want space and luxury in your camper van, the Roadtrek Zion may be the choice for you. It boasts a very open floor plan with plenty of space for storage, as well as a large refrigerator, air conditioner, private bathroom, kitchen, a mounted smart TV, couch, and a bed that comes in either twin or king size. It also comes equipped with a retractable outdoor awning and an outdoor shower—a perfect vehicle if you want all the amenities of home while you’re on a road trip.
Thor Sequence
The Thor Sequence camper van is built on the same Dodge Ram chassis as the Roadtrek Zion and comes with the same amount of power and fuel efficiency with its V-6 diesel engine. It’s outfitted with a cassette toilet and a bathroom, as well as entertainment options that allow you to watch TV and movies even when you’re outside the vehicle. It’s got plenty of vertical clearance inside the vehicle, as well as a very large fridge, and can comfortably sleep two people.
