About Midwest Automotive Designs
Based in Elkhart, Indiana, Midwest Automotive Designs builds custom conversions primarily on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, with select models also available on the Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster platforms. Their RV van lineup includes the Passage, Patriot, and Heritage models, each distinguished by handcrafted wood interiors, custom seating, and state-of-the-art technology integration.
The Patriot introduced the Freedom Package, a lithium system designed to eliminate the need for propane. No two conversions are built identically, with each vehicle tailored to individual owner specifications.
Midwest Automotive Designs was established in 2000 with a focused mission: to build luxury personal-use conversions on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform. Their first models, the Business Class and Weekender, debuted at the 2001 SEMA Show, signaling an ambitious approach to what a conversion van could be.
The Passage is the modern successor to that original Weekender, carrying forward the same commitment to refined interiors and thoughtful design. ### What Sets Their Builds Apart
- Handcrafted wood interiors that the company describes as surpassing competitors in quality and fit
- Custom seating engineered for comfort and precise fit and finish
- Integrated technology woven into each build without compromising the interior aesthetic
- The Freedom Package on the Patriot model, a lithium battery system that removes the need for propane gas
- Builds on multiple chassis including Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit, and Ram ProMaster
Their RV van range currently includes the Heritage, Patriot, and Passage, alongside Ford Transit and ProMaster variants. The Heritage MD2 and Patriot MD2 are both built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD chassis, with the Patriot MD2 featuring a 330Ah lithium battery system for off-grid capability.
Executive and business-use configurations are also available for buyers seeking a mobile office or shuttle solution. Midwest Automotive Designs sells through an authorized dealer network and encourages prospective buyers to use their dealer locator to find a local point of contact.
