Multi-Function Murphy Bed

The bed is the heart of the van, but why can’t it do more? Ours converts from sleep to eat to work in seconds. The design is easy to lift, and takes up very little cargo space when stored. There is nothing else like it.

Off-Grid Power System

Get power wherever you go with an innovative rooftop solar system. The panels feature 270 watts of rooftop solar that connect to lithium ion batteries and outlets throughout your campervan. You can stay for days wherever the road or trail takes you.

Smart Floor System

With full length L-track insets, we allow you to configure your seating and accessories any way you want to. Seats, bikes, tie down points. The sky is the limit. A campervan toilet that secures to this floor system comes standard.

Customized Roof Rack

Every van comes with a roof rack, built to fit the exact specifications of your van. The rack keeps your solar panels secure and in place, and you can mount your additional accessories like lights or speakers on the rack. A durable mounted ladder gives you easy access to the roof rack.

Lithium Ion Battery

Small in size but not in power, the 12-volt lithium ion batteries in Antero vans are ideal for all of your camping and travel needs. The batteries feature a 3,000 watt inverter and can store hours of power from the rooftop solar power system. Outlets can be found throughout your van.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your vans include bathrooms?

Our vans can have child seat mounting points included in order to make sure any little ones are secure on your trips.

We also use the best products possible when building our vans to ensure your safety and the reliability of the vehicle. Because of this attention to detail, we’re proud to be RVIA certified Class B RV manufacturers. This certification gives you access to National Parks and traditional bank financing.
