Off Highway Van, the Salt Lake City–based adventure vehicle builder known for its bespoke, high-end, off-grid camper vans, has unveiled its most comprehensive set of updates yet for the 2026 model year, alongside a new interactive 3D configurator designed to give prospective buyers a clearer and more intuitive way to plan and visualize their custom builds. Together, these developments mark a deliberate effort to enhance both the technical sophistication of the vans themselves and the experience of designing one from the ground up. Customization is a critical feature in a van build in the $200,000 range, particularly for buyers who intend to take full advantage of the off-grid travel and living opportunities such a vehicle is designed to support.
Off Highway Van’s lineup comprises three distinct camper van families—the Sundance Kid, Doc Holliday, and Davey Jackson—each offered in 144- and 170-inch wheelbase configurations and in Basecamp, Pro, and Pro-X trims. The range is structured to serve couples, families, and long-term travelers seeking a balance of maneuverability, interior refinement, and off-grid capability. Core design elements across all models include lightweight aluminum construction, precision-built interiors, and flexible living spaces anchored by signature features such as expanding bed frames, convertible café lounges, Rambler seating, and the modular Mod Pod system.
Within that framework, each model family targets a specific travel style. The Sundance Kid emphasizes agility and premium comfort for couples and solo travelers, pairing compact maneuverability with refined interior layouts. The Doc Holliday is designed around family travel, offering generous seating capacity, static master beds, and convertible secondary sleeping areas. The Davey Jackson focuses on versatility, combining convertible seating, expanding beds, and optional interior showers in both compact and extended formats.
For 2026, Off Highway Van has concentrated on pushing higher-end systems and materials into the standard specification across its model range, while also introducing new construction options and expanded comfort packages aimed at extended off-grid travel. Features once limited to upper trims are now standard across all builds, a move intended to raise the baseline for performance, energy independence, and four-season usability.
Key system upgrades now standard include four-season hydronic heating, a 6,500-watt dual-alternator charging kit, a 200-watt solar array, and an 8.4-kilowatt, 51-volt Lithionics electrical system. Off Highway Van has also added Dark Star Offroad’s Halo roof rack to all trims as a general-purpose, lightweight cargo and lighting platform. On the ownership side, each 2026 build includes a 40,000-mile prepaid Mercedes-Benz maintenance plan covering the first A and B services.
On the performance front, Off Highway Van says Fox 2.5 Factory Series suspension is now standard across the lineup to improve ride control under load and on rough terrain. In addition to the Halo rack used across all trims, a redesigned Series A roof rack is positioned as a Pro-X–exclusive system, integrating a front light bar, rear pod lights, and a 50-inch Strands light bar. An optional Global Lighting Package further adds multiple Baja Designs auxiliary lamps for extended night driving and camp illumination. Also reserved for Pro-X builds is a Dark Star Offroad limited-slip differential, intended to improve traction and control in demanding off-road conditions.
For travelers operating in harsher climates, the new Extreme Comfort Package bundles higher-capacity systems, including a 48-volt Dometic air conditioner, a 17-kilowatt lithium power upgrade, Starlink Roam Gen III satellite internet, upgraded insulation and sound control, bug screens, and fitted floor mats. Off Highway Van also notes several popular features returning from 2025, including the Gear Garage cargo slider, Dark Star Offroad accessory integration, a panoramic skylight, and hydronic heated flooring.
Inside, the headline change is a new ZeroWood construction option that replaces traditional wood subfloors with a carbon-composite material designed to resist swelling, warping, and rot in wet or humid environments while reducing overall vehicle weight. The kitchen receives a major redesign centered on porcelain countertops paired with an integrated “invisible” induction cooktop, intended to increase usable prep space while maintaining a clean, minimalist galley aesthetic.
Finish and personalization options are also expanded, including upgraded UltraLeather seating availability, programmable RGB lighting, and epoxy inlays applied to cabinet faces and café tables. For utility-focused storage, the Supply Slider gear tray gains Marine Mat covers intended to protect cargo and simplify cleanup.
Alongside enhancements to the vans themselves, Off Highway Van has introduced an interactive 3D camper van configurator on its website. The tool allows users to begin with a choice of model—such as the family-oriented Doc Holliday, the versatile Davey Jackson, or the agile Sundance Kid—and then progressively select trim levels, optional features, and aesthetic elements in a three-dimensional online interface.
According to the company, the configurator provides pricing transparency as customizations are applied, addressing a common challenge in fully bespoke vehicle builds and giving buyers a clearer understanding of how different options and upgrades will fit together before committing to a purchase.
