What stands out the most about this model?
The all-new CREW MODE on the 170-inch Sprinter chassis is the ultimate four-season, off-grid overlanding rig for your crew with seating for five and sleeping for at least four. With a full shower, flushable commode, cooktop, microwave/air fryer/convection oven and a stand-up fridge and freezer, it can help you get out there — and stay out there — in true comfort. “With its powered, hard-sided rooftop tent accessible from the interior and the groundbreaking Troupe Lounge, this van redefines versatility,” says Conn. The Troupe Lounge can effortlessly switch between multiple bed arrangements, table and booth setups, and has a slide-out gear tray perfect for storing bikes, motorcycles and other oversize equipment. This innovative design offers unparalleled adaptability in a van floorplan, Conn says.
Why do you think customers will like it?
Designed for both families and adventurers, the CREW MODE is user-friendly with functionality and comfort, elevated design and materials, a super configurable interior with flexible seating and lots of storage. Storyteller customers want to get out on the open road and beyond, so the CREW MODE is outfitted with an advanced energy system and extremely efficient, sustainable insulation to support off-grid adventures. With its focus on both travel and utility, customers will love the combination of performance, space and design.
