27North’s VX: A Missouri-Built AWD Sprinter With an Indoor Shower

Reset A− A+ 27North builds its camper vans in Springfield, Missouri, and this 2026 VX in Arctic White shows its style: quilted cognac leather, a dark ceiling, and a layout made for two. It’s built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 AWD with the 170-inch high roof, and it fits a galley, a full interior shower, and a dinette that turns into a bed.

Stepping In Through the Sliding Door

The side door opens right onto the galley and the two-passenger bench. The quilted leather and grey coin-pattern floor give the interior a more upscale feel than most camper vans, without losing practical, wipe-clean surfaces.

A Layout Made for Two

Looking forward from the living area, the galley sits on one side and a full interior shower on the other, with the cab beyond. The shower is a big deal in a van this size, since many builds rely on outdoor showers or skip them entirely.

The two-passenger bench sits right behind the cab. With the front seats swiveled around to face it, the front of the van becomes a small lounge, with 27NORTH stitched into the headrests.

A Galley and a Dinette That Becomes the Bed

The galley has a Plyboo counter, a stainless sink with a black faucet, a Dometic fridge-freezer, a microwave, and a portable induction cooktop. It looks back toward the leather dinette, which is where you eat during the day and sleep at night once it converts into a bed. Skipping a fixed bed leaves more open floor space during the day. The trade-off is setting up the bed every night.

Off-Grid Systems

The VX carries 30 gallons of fresh water and a 20-gallon grey tank, and uses a Thetford portable toilet. Power comes from a 48V EcoFlow system with 5kWh of lithium storage, a 3,600-watt pure sine inverter, and a 175-watt solar panel. That 48V system also runs a Velit air conditioner, and a diesel heater keeps the van warm in winter.

What It Costs

27North lists this Arctic White VX at $299,000. The listing says its Adventure Package includes the heavy-duty front bumper and 50-inch LED light bar seen up front, with extras such as ditch lights, a lift bed kit, more solar, and a second EcoFlow battery available at added cost.

Before You Buy

• Two people, one convertible bed. The dinette has to be made into the bed each night, and there’s no fixed bed or second sleeping spot.
• A portable toilet, not a cassette. The Thetford portable toilet has to be carried out to empty.
• See it in person. 27North offers private factory tours in Springfield, Missouri, which is the best way to check finish quality before a purchase this size.

What Makes This Build Special

• A full interior shower in a two-person Sprinter layout
• A 48V system powers air conditioning without running the engine
• The convertible dinette keeps the floor open during the day
• Quilted leather and premium finishes, handcrafted in Missouri
