How to Compare Vanworks Base Camp Listings on Outdoorsy
Individual Vanworks Base Camp listings vary in chassis, build year, and drivetrain. The Denver listing is a 2023 Ford Transit with AWD and studded tires suited for winter mountain travel, while the Asheville listing is built on a 2018 Ram ProMaster 2500.
Check each listing carefully for drivetrain type, sleeping configuration, and included gear before booking. When comparing listings on Outdoorsy, confirm whether the build includes air conditioning, a heater, solar power, and an outdoor shower, as these features appear across Base Camp builds but may vary by listing.
Seating and sleeping capacity, pet-friendly policies, and pickup location are also worth reviewing to match the van to your trip.
