Top Ford Transit Class B Camper Vans
Ford’s Transit platform has emerged as a go‑to gas chassis for Class B motorhomes, combining its 3.5‑liter EcoBoost V‑6, 10‑speed auto, and optional intelligent all‑wheel drive. With its low 38‑foot turning diameter, nearly vertical sidewalls, and up to 11,000‑pound GVWR. the Transit is the ideal class B. Here's top Transit camper van models to take a look from different RV manufacturers.
Coachmen leans into touring luxury with the Beyond on a Transit 350 HD. Measuring 22 feet 2 inches, Beyond offers three floorplans that revolve around either twin beds, a rear wet bath, or a convertible dinette, each surrounded by Amish‑crafted maple cabinetry and solid‑surface counters. A 25‑gallon fuel tank feeds the 310‑horsepower EcoBoost engine and, optionally, an integrated generator delete package that swaps in a 640‑amp‑hour lithium system, dual alternators, and a 3 kW inverter—enough to run the roof air conditioner quietly off‑battery. Heated holding tanks, dual 110‑watt solar panels, and Truma Combi hydronic heat make Beyond a true four‑season coach, while the JRide® package (Hellwig helper springs and rear stabilizer bar) keeps the tall van stable on windy interstates. Coachmen Beyond deals start from $54,870 below MSRP.
Jayco blends ride comfort and off‑grid muscle in the Solstice, built on the Transit 350 HD with Ford’s new AWD system and 9.5 inches of ground clearance. At 22 feet the Solstice adds Jayco’s JRide® handling upgrades—Bilstein® shocks and a computer‑balanced driveshaft—plus a 200‑watt solar array feeding dual AGM batteries, or an optional 630‑amp‑hour lithium Overland package that eliminates the generator entirely. Heated cab seats swivel around a lagun‑mounted table, Tecnoform euro‑style cabinetry lightens the interior, and a power rear sofa converts to a 68‑inch bed. With Firefly multiplex control and a soft‑start A/C that can sip lithium power, Solstice balances freeway comfort and gravel‑road confidence. Jayco Solstice deals start at $141,999 MSRP.
Thor Motor Coach offers two Transit Trail–based builds that extend Ford’s factory 3.5‑inch lift, 30.5‑inch Goodyear Wrangler tires, and integrated skid plates into full‑blown overlanders. The Palladium dedicates its rear half to a gear‑garage floorplan where removable cabinets and floor L‑track tie‑downs let owners haul mountain bikes or moto gear inside. Standard electrical spec includes a 400‑amp‑hour lithium bank, 3 kW inverter, 300 watts of solar, and a quick‑connect rear rinse station. The Transit Trail’s all‑wheel drive keeps power flowing even on loose sand, while Thor’s Rapid Camp+ multiplex panel puts lighting and tank monitors on a smartphone. New Palladiums can be found for over $70k off MSRP right now.
Built on the same AWD Transit Trail, the Talavera swaps Palladium’s cargo focus for a chef‑friendly galley, thanks to an expanded 12‑volt compressor refrigerator, an induction cooktop paired with a microwave‑convection oven, and a removable Lagun table that turns the front lounge into a dining nook. Talavera also carries the 400‑Ah lithium system and 300‑watt solar roof but adds more upper cabinetry for pantry storage. A 3 kW inverter/charger, Truma Combi Eco furnace, and standard Thule power awning round out a Transit Trail van aimed at couples who split time between national‑park scenic loops and dispersed forest‑service campsites. Talaveras start from $109,998 MSRP, although Palladiums enjoy both more inventory and much larger discounts/deals.
Taken together, Beyond showcases Transit luxury with massive lithium reserves, Solstice marries AWD security with Jayco’s ride‑and‑warranty advantages, Palladium builds a gear‑hauling adventure rig straight from the factory lift kit, and Talavera re‑imagines the same hardware for food‑centric travelers. Each model leverages the Transit’s powerful EcoBoost drivetrain, factory safety tech, and tight turning radius, proving that a commercial Ford van can underpin everything from stealthy city explorers to off‑grid overlanders—all while retaining serviceability at thousands of Ford dealerships across North America.
