Storyteller Overland Tour Mode XL: Off-Grid Camper Van
The Mercedes-Benz dual-axle Storyteller Overland Tour Mode XL packs a full bathroom, convertible sleeping zone, and serious off-grid power into one expedition-ready camper van.
What Is the Storyteller Overland Tour Mode XL?
The Storyteller Overland Tour Mode XL is a full-featured, four-seatbelt camper van built on the 170-inch dual-axle high-roof Mercedes-Benz 3500XD Sprinter with all-wheel drive. It combines a full bathroom, a convertible lounge-to-bed sleeping area, and a 16.8kWh energy system into a single extended-wheelbase build designed for extended off-grid travel.
This model suits couples or small families who want a self-contained van capable of multi-day trips away from hookups. The dual rear wheels, AWD drivetrain, and 10.125 inches of ground clearance make it practical on unpaved roads and in variable weather conditions.
With 37 gallons of fresh water, 150W of solar, a 3000W inverter, and a full wet bath, the Tour Mode XL is oriented toward travelers who prioritize both comfort and genuine off-grid capability on longer journeys.
