Cargo vans. Caravans. Camper Vans. However you want to name them, these relatively inexpensive and compact RVs are growing in popularity with lifestyle buyers looking to have their golden ticket for traveling till they can't anymore. It can said that the once contagious 1960s Volkswagen Microbus movement is resurrecting today with vans like The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Ford Transit. Speaking of, today's vans are bigger and more capable than the old VWs.

Important features such as dimensions, powertrains, pricing and much more are considered. The highest priority was placed on cargo volume and maximum payload capacity, two of the most important specs for anyone looking to create the perfect RV. Taking the crown is the renowned Mercedes Sprinter, the only entry with a standard diesel engine, which makes it more affordable than diesel models from Ford and Ram. The Sprinter's maximum payload is a class-leading 5,000 pounds, and it can tow 5,000 pounds. Next the Ford Transit's base V6 makes 275 horsepower, while the turbocharged 3.5-liter, also in the F-150 pickup, makes 310 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.
