Business Insider: Advanced RV Unveils First ‘B Box’ Camper Van

Nov 1, 2020 Brittany Chang, Business Insider

Advanced RV has revealed a prototype of its "B Box" camper van built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter cab chassis.

Unlike most camper vans — including ones that Advanced RV has built in the past — the B Box doesn't take the classic look of a tiny home on wheels. Instead, the camper cabin sits inside of an insulated fiberglass composite and foam box that's both off-grid and four-seasons capable.

"Advanced RV's mission is to listen to and understand our clients' travel objectives so that we can collaborate with them to bring their vision to life," Advanced RV's president Mike Neundorfer said in an email interview with Business Insider. "When we discovered a box that would allow us to meet our clients' objectives on a cab chassis, we pursued building a prototype because we knew of the spatial, insulation, and off-grid advancements a box would provide."

The unveiling of the B Box comes at a fortuitous time for the RV industry. Last month, RV shipments increased 31.2 percent year-over-year with a total of 41,509 shipped in September 2020 compared to 31,639 shipped the same time last year, according to a September survey of RV manufacturers by the RV Industry Association trade group.
