Parks is a full-size, all-wheel drive, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with seating and sleeping for up to two adults. The model focuses on creating a homebase for explorers looking for the ideal vehicle to travel comfortably and experience the outdoors through campgrounds and national parks. What sets Parks apart from Outside Van’s other flagship models, Syncline and Approach, are components and a layout designed to fill the gap between the maneuverability and capability of adventure vans, and the accessibility and connectivity of a traditional full-size RV.

The van touts a unique wrap by Outside Van and Abel Arts. Focused on comfort, accessibility and privacy, Parks includes a dedicated interior washroom, dubbed the Outback Washroom. The washroom includes a fully enclosed Hightop shower with increased head room for taller individuals, a permanent cassette-based toilet with electric flush and easy access waste disposal, and a vanity and washing station.

Parks includes all the hallmarks of an Outside Van, including a spacious sleeping area that converts into a comfortable dinette with an adjustable table for dining, plus a full-size galley kitchen complete with refrigerator, cooktop, stainless steel sink and ample storage.

Parks features a technology and power package that ensures years of use with modern connectivity features in mind. It includes a smart control system powered by Garmin that controls and monitors all systems of the van, a dedicated entertainment center and a predrilled pass-through ready for any roof-based communications devices.

Parks is projected to be available nationwide at the end of Q3 through a select dealer network.
