ToggleIs a Ford Transit a Class B?
While the Ford Transit itself isn’t a Class B, several RV manufacturers use the Ford Transit chassis to create Class B motorhomes. The term “Class B” refers to a type of RV built on a van chassis (structural framework), with the rear interior constructed into a well-equipped living space. Jayco, Winnebago, Thor, and more offer Ford Transit motorhomes.
Best AWD Ford Transit Camper Vans
All-wheel drive Ford Transit camper vans offer compact options with premium all-terrain capability. Discover our top selections:
Jayco Solstice 21B

Specs
- Length: 22’
- Exterior Height: 10’
- Interior Height: 6’6”
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 2
The Jayco Solstice 21B is a hearty yet nimble AWD Class B van camper. Smart features that make it easy to drive come standard, including a 360-degree camera, lane assist, and collision warning systems. If you want to go off the beaten path, you’ll appreciate amenities like the Onan 2,800-watt generator and Truma Combi water heater and furnace.
Inside, you’ll find a versatile floor plan. The rear power sofa converts to a 68” x 76” bed. This area is also nice for daytime lounging, with a table that can be popped into place for working or dining. Thanks to the additional jump seats, you can even seat four or five.
Pop up tables are found at the front of the van, accessible by swiveling seats from the front cab. The rest of the van features a kitchen and a wet bath. For a nearly identical floorplan with a few differences in amenities, check out the Entegra Coach Expanse 21B.
Coachmen Beyond

Specs
- Length: 22’2”
- Exterior Height: 9’11”
- Interior Height: 6’3”
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 2
Coachmen’s Beyond Class B RV offers three distinct 2025 Ford Transit camper van floor plans, so you can choose the layout that fits your travel style.
- The 22C features a 68” powered rear sofa with three seat belts for extra passenger seating.
- The 22D features two 23” x 76” sofas that convert into a 68” x 76” bed. When in “sofa mode,” this layout offers four seat belts for safely transporting additional passengers.
- The 22RB moves the wet bath to the rear of the coach and places two 28” x 72” twin beds on the driver and passenger sides.
All feature a removable table for utilizing the living quarters as a dining area or workspace. Other features include keyless entry, remote start, a built-in tire pressure monitoring system, a 2,800-watt gasoline generator, a 195-watt solar panel, and an armless, motion-sensing awning.
Ford Transit Cutaway Chassis Camper Vans
Because they’re built on a cutaway chassis, these slightly larger RVs are ideal for families, couples, or solo travelers looking for expanded living space.
Thor Freedom Elite 24KE

Specs
- Length: 25’10”
- Exterior Height: 11’
- Interior Height: 6’8”
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 3
The 24KE is a new entry in Thor’s Freedom Elite lineup. Thanks to the side slide-out and skylight over the front cab, it feels roomy inside. A jackknife sofa adds more sleep space for an adult or a couple of smaller kids. The sofa also serves as seating for the removable table.
The rear features twin beds that can be converted to a king. I like the idea of twin beds in a small camper van since they are easier to access thanks to the middle walkway. Pop in the extra cushions to make a massive bed with room for snuggling.
If you aren’t a fan of the wet baths found in many camper vans, you’ll appreciate the 24KE’s standalone shower. Other useful amenities include a tankless water heater, a 100-watt solar power system, a convection oven, and heated holding tanks.
Jayco Granite Ridge 22T Ford Transit Camper Van


Images by Camping World
Specs
- Length: 23’5”
- Exterior Height: 11’1”
- Interior Height: 6’8”
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 2 (4 with optional pop-top)
If you travel with a lot of sports equipment or campsite gear, check out the Jayco Granite Ridge 22T. It features a rear heated garage with a built-in storage system, charging ports, and three access doors. The rooftop storage deck can secure even more gear.
Designed to go off-grid, the 22T features a 2-inch lift kit and all-terrain tires. It also comes standard with an integrated solar panel system with a 360-watt panel, a 2,000-watt inverter, and a 3,900-watt-hour 12V lithium battery.
Inside, a pair of rear twins can be converted to a king bed. A corner 38” x 48” corner dinette is accessible from the front swivel captain chairs, creating a cozy gathering spot. The optional pop-top increases the sleeping capacity.
Winnebago EKKO 22A

Specs
- Length: 23”
- Exterior Height: 10’6”
- Interior Height: 6’8”
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 4 (with optional pop-top)
While the Winnebago EKKO 22A shares many features with the Jayco Granite Ridge, Winnebago’s innovative bathroom stands out. A pivoting wall separates the shower from the cassette toilet, eliminating the wet bath.
The impressive solar power system makes it easy to go off-grid. The EKKO offers a 320-amp-hour Lithionics lithium-ion battery, three solar panels totaling 455 watts, and a 2,000-watt pure sine wave inverter. A 2,800-watt gas generator adds more power options—or you can swap it for an additional lithium-ion battery.
The EKKO features an oversized, heated rear garage with a storage tie-down system, charging ports, and LED lighting. You can also customize it to fit your needs. Add a pop-top for more sleeping space, or take the cooking outside by adding an exterior kitchen with a sink, fridge, and cooktop.
Thor Compass 24KB

Specs
- Length: 25’10”
- Exterior Height: 11’
- Interior Height: 6’8”
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 3
With an identical floorplan to the Freedom Elite 24KE, the Thor Compass 24KB adds the advantage of an AWD chassis. Enjoy the additional floor space offered by the side slide-out and the additional light the skylight lets in.
The 24KB comes equipped with a solar power system, gas generator, and traditional 30-amp shore power, giving you plenty of options for camping everywhere, from a plush RV resort to the rugged backcountry, which the all-wheel drive will help you reach.
Eddie Bauer 22ET Ford Transit Camper Van


Images by Camping World
Specs
- Length: 23’7”
- Exterior Height: 11’
- Interior Height: 6’8”
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 2
If you’re looking for an amazing amount of storage in a nimble van, check out the Eddie Bauer 22ET. The rear of the van features a queen Skybunk on a Project 2000 Bed Mechanizm™ electric power lift, which raises the bed to the ceiling when not in use.
When the bed is in the lifted position, a massive rear garage is accessible from inside or outside the van. It offers enough space for motorbikes or electric bicycles. Built-in drawers, cubbies, and tie-downs add to the functionality.
The MEGA-Storage garage can also be used as a lounge space, craft area, or office. Move your gear outside and enjoy the open floor space. The large doors have screens, which let the breeze in when the weather is nice.

Why Choose a Class B RV?
Sometimes known as camper vans or sprinter vans, Class B RVs offer excellent maneuverability combined with comfortable living and sleeping quarters. They also fit in pretty much any campground without having to worry about RV size restrictions.
Here are some resources to help you decide if a class B RV is right for you:
Who Makes the Chassis for Class B RVs?
Class B RVs are built on a cargo van chassis or cutaway, which is what gives them their size, shape, and approachable drivability.
Chassis (n): The load-bearing framework that provides structural support for the construction and function above.
Most Class B RVs today are built on a chassis from one of three predominant manufacturers:
- Mercedes-Benz®
- Ford
- RAM
Manufacturers like to build on the Ford Transit chassis because they can make camper vans that are easy to drive and maneuver. It’s also known as a stable chassis, and it allows manufacturers to construct their RVs with higher ceilings than you’d get with a standard passenger van. If van life calls your name, you’ll want to consider the best Ford Transit camper vans.
What Is the Most Reliable Camper Van?
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit are rated among the most reliable camper vans, with the Ford camper van earning high marks for the low cost of maintenance and repairs.
The right camper van is the perfect basecamp for your next road trip or outdoor adventure. It gives you a mobile living space that’s easy to drive, comfortable to relax inside, and stylish enough to turn heads. Explore other camper van resources:

Are there any AWD Class B campers that have a pop up? Or sleep 4?
Hi Emily!
I’d recommend looking into either the Winnebago EKKO or this collection of AWD Thor Motorhomes: https://www.thormotorcoach.com/motorhomes/all-wheel-drive
Technically, some of these fall into the Class B+ category, or are compact Class C motorhomes. But they provide AWD options with higher sleeping capacities.
Hope that helps!
