Storyteller Overland Debuts All-New Camper Van Based On Ford Transit

Storyteller Overland is known for its Mercedes Sprinter-based motorhomes. Last year, it launched a refreshed lineup of Mode camper vans called the Beast, Stealth, and Classic, which basically laid down options for off-road-capable-motorhome buyers in the US.

However, the Alabama-based company has been toying around the idea of using the Ford Transit platform, but the two-wheel drivetrain has employed some limitations to what Storyteller Overland wanted to employ.

Thanks to the addition of AWD on the Transit in 2019, the Storyteller Overland proceeds with its goal of making a Ford Transit-based camper van, and it's called the Mode LT.

Visually, the Transit Mode LT camper is smaller than the Sprinter motorhomes from Storyteller Overland. However, the new model still wears the visual cues from the Mercedes, complemented by utilitarian equipment such as a rugged roof rack with sonic wedge wind deflector, tubular side mount ladder, running boards, and Storyteller Transition rims wrapped in 245/65/16 Tires.

Overlanding is definitely possible with the availability of 90W solar panels, which are expandable to 600W. There are four available 110V outlets on the outside, along with a heavy-duty shore power inlet. The Ford Transit Mode LT also comes with a 21-gallon in-cabin freshwater tank, along with 24-gallon gray water tank with a heating loop.

Inside, Storyteller Overland hasn't put out interior images just yet nor is there any layout revealed. We expect it to be nearly identical to what's found in the Sprinter plus the company's website already lists down some notable features.

The More Affordable Option To Sprinter-Based RVs:

The inclusions include a Dreamweaver bed with convertible work surface, swiveling front seats, a Groovelounge two-seat convertible sofa bed, a gasoline-fired heating system, sheep's wool insulation, six 100V outlets, six USB ports, three 12V outlets, and a garage area with a large cargo area and L-track.

More importantly, Storyteller Overland Transit Mode LT is the most affordable of the Mode lineup, priced at $153,748. In comparison, the Sprinter-based Classic Mode is currently priced at $157,747, with the Stealth and Beast Modes priced even higher.

Storyteller Overland is bound to add updates for the 2022 model year across the Mode camper lineup, which will be revealed on September 24, 2021.
