This 2022 class B campervan from Jayco is an offroad, off-grid home for two.
It's called the Terrain, and it's purpose-built for adventure.
We're looking at the Jayco Terrain Campervan in this video.
Also, make sure you stick around for our honorable mentions at the end.

Thank you for watching, Mind's Eye Design!
Headquartered in Middlebury, Indiana, Jayco has been making pop-top campers and
campervan conversions since 1968. Their latest off-road-ready campervan is the 2022 Terrain,
a bold Sprinter 4x4 conversion that borrows a lot from one of its main rivals.
So, is it just another Winnebago Revel knock-off? Or is there more under the hood?
Well, let's start outside. The Terrain sits on a Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 chassis.
Still, Jayco has added their own JRIDE suspension upgrades,
including Koni Special adjustable shocks and a heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar.
The Terrain sits on BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires for even better offroad handling.
You'll find a 200-watt solar panel setup connected to a 3,500-W inverter,
a 48V alternator, and a 210-Ah lithium battery on the roof.
Wind sensors and an LED light strip are built into the armless patio awning.
Access to the interior of the campervan comes via the side sliding door or rear double doors.
If you're loading in from the rear, a handy open-gear garage is perfect for bikes,
luggage, and supplies, especially with the L-track that runs down the right-hand side.
A 124x200cm power lift bed bisects the garage space at night, but you're
welcome to leave it in this configuration, keeping the space below as a trunk.
While the floorplan inside is exactly like the Revel,
the aesthetic and functional detail have a few differences.
Running the length of the passenger sidewall is the kitchen block,
and pullout tops extend the expansive kitchen. The pullout tops form an L-shaped
preparation space complete with a portable induction cooktop, stainless steel sink,
and an 85-liter refrigerator that can be accessed inside and outside the campervan.
The wet bathroom-slash-storage space is nestled next to the rear bed, opposite the kitchen.
Suppose you're not keen on using the cassette toilet and shower.
In that case, removable bamboo shelving can be easily inserted to double up on storage space.
Behind the driver's cab, you'll find a collapsible dinette and the JayCommand control touchscreen,
an all-in-one control station for the Terrain's systems and features.
There's also Bluetooth connectivity, with users able to control certain campervan
features like air conditioning, audio, and lighting from their smartphone.
Also on board is hydronic heating, Coleman A/C, and a 12V water pump with filtration.
When it comes to price, though, Jayco does advertise the Terrain to start at $201,000. But
any purchase must include their mandatory Customer Value package, bringing the total to $219,750.
How do you feel about a "mandatory" upgrade? Is that price increase too
much for what Jayco is offering? Let us know in the comments below!
Now don't go anywhere. We're going to take a look at some of our favorite campervans!
You might call it a concept but the company built a prototype so there's that designation.
Feel free to debate that one in the comments as you see fit.
When Hymer designed the VisionVenture, they chose to forego the standard conversion kit,
instead building on a heavily modified Mercedes Sprinter.
The rear houses a lounge area that has twin couches on each side,
flanking a dining table that folds down and lowers telescopically,
then retracts under the seat to offer a clear floor space between.
This area can be expanded and opened to the elements by raising the large panoramic window
and lowering the gate to create a small terrace.
A small, slide-out electric grill is hidden away underneath the sofa,
complementing the outdoor element.
Forward of this is a transforming bathroom that utilizes an expanding wall and a sliding
partition that keeps the shower separate from the vanity and toilet.
This special edition by German-based Hymer is called the Blue Evolution.
And that's another one that falls into the catchy name category.
Built on a Fiat chassis almost 20 feet long, it's basically a themed-out, Free 600 model.
But don't let that downplay anything as the black
accents against the metallic blue paint are nothing short of eye-catching.
Four people can dine in the lounge area using the table, which has a swing-out extension.
A small kitchenette sits opposite this along the passenger side wall,
having a glass-covered cooker and sink as well as a 90-liter refrigerator.
Moving back finds a wet bath with a rotating cassette toilet
and a faucet that doubles as the showerhead, allowing it to be used outside if needed.
A fold-up double bed in the back provides sleeping room for two
people with space for two more up in the pop-top roof.
A small camper van packed with a lot of smart features is just what
you'll find in the Montecarlo 2100LX from Gala RV.
The Canadian-built vehicle is mounted on a Ram Promaster 3500 powertrain and chassis.
Smartly trimmed in shades of white to black,
the versatile ergonomic interior features a rear lounge that converts to a sleeping area.
Moving forward finds the kitchen having a two-burner cooktop,
sink, and microwave sitting across from a 140-liter fridge-freezer.
Next to this is a wetbath having an ultracool waterproof cover for the toilet paper.
Extra features include a showerhead that can be hooked up externally
and storage space at the back of the van accessible from both the inside and outside.
