Thor Motor Coach Scope: Compact Camper Van Rentals
The Thor Motor Coach Scope packs full self-contained living into a nimble 17-foot camper van that squeezes into regular parking spots and tight campground sites where bigger rigs can't go.
What Is the Thor Motor Coach Scope?
The Thor Motor Coach Scope is a Class B camper van built on the Ram ProMaster 1500 chassis, measuring 17 feet 10 inches in length. It sleeps up to 2 people and is designed to fit into regular parking spots, navigate city streets, and access campgrounds that larger rigs cannot reach.
Its starting MSRP is $149,100, and it is available in two floor plans: the 18M with a rear wet bath and pull-out bed, and the 18Z with a mid wet bath and rear flip-up bed with storage below. The Scope suits couples, solo travelers, and first-time RV renters who want a self-contained van without the bulk of a larger motorhome.
Its compact footprint does not come at the expense of amenities: listings consistently include a full wet bath, kitchenette, rooftop solar, and air conditioning. OffGrid Campervans recommends top-rated Thor Motor Coach Scope rentals, which you book on Outdoorsy.
Listings are available in locations including California and Michigan, making it a practical option for West Coast road trips and Midwest adventures alike.

How to Compare Thor Motor Coach Scope Listings on Outdoorsy
Individual Thor Motor Coach Scope listings vary by build year, floor plan, and the specific off-grid equipment the owner has installed. When browsing on Outdoorsy, check whether the listing specifies the 18M floor plan (rear wet bath, pull-out bed) or the 18Z (mid wet bath, flip-up bed with under-bed storage), as the layout affects how usable the space feels for two people.
Also confirm whether the listing includes an onboard generator in addition to rooftop solar, since some listings carry both while others rely on solar and an inverter alone. Pay attention to pet-friendly status, seating capacity, and whether an outdoor shower is included if you plan to spend time at beaches or trails.
All bookings for the Thor Motor Coach Scope are completed directly on Outdoorsy, where you can review owner ratings, trip requirements, and mileage policies before confirming.
