Overview

Off Highway Van announced its 2027 model year on October 20, led by a redesigned Doc Holliday family van. Every model now offers a 78-by-68-inch expanding bedframe. In turn, the Salt Lake City builder has dropped east-west sleeping and fiberglass flares. Orders are open, and first builds roll out this fall, according to the company’s release as reported by RV PRO.

Three models carry over: the Doc Holliday, the Sundance Kid and the Davey Jackson. Each rides on a Mercedes Sprinter 2500 with all-wheel drive, in 144 or 170 wheelbases. Because every van is built to order, a funded deposit secures a build slot.

Other van builders are refreshing their catalogs too, as our look at the Storyteller Overland 2027 lineup shows. Below, you will find what the builder changed, what returns, and what the changes mean for an off-road van shopper.

Off Highway Van 2027 vs. 2026: What Changed

The sleeping change touches every model, while the galley and seating work centers on the Doc Holliday. This table sets each 2027 change beside the 2026 setup, using the builder’s own announcement.

Feature 2026 2027
Doc Holliday sleeping East-west bed Expanding north-south bed
Sidewall flares Fiberglass flares on Doc Holliday builds None on any model
Doc Holliday fresh water Baseline 25% above 2026
Doc Holliday finished weight 7,500 to 8,500 lb Unchanged
Dark Star Offroad rear coilovers Rear kit Adds a front strut

The Invisacook counters, covered below, cook with induction-safe cookware. Good matches include the Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Clad 12-Inch Frying Pan and the Lodge Pre-Seasoned 12-Inch Cast Iron Skillet. Also, the Cuisinart MultiClad Pro 10-Inch Open Skillet is the third option, and each listing marks induction compatibility.

Redesigned Doc Holliday Floorplan: Seating, Sleeping and Storage

The Doc Holliday floorplan is new from the walls in. Inside, the 144 seats five to six and sleeps four or more, while the 170 seats five to eight. According to the company’s release, its forward-facing, DOT-approved seating for eight is one of the only setups of its kind among Class B vans.

A new galley adds 25% more fresh water and full-size aluminum drawers. RV PRO also reports 50% more drawer storage than the previous generation. However, finished weight still averages 7,500 to 8,500 pounds, depending on trim, options and wheelbase.

In addition, the Doc Holliday offers up to three sleeping areas: the expanding queen bed, a three-person seat converting to another queen, and an optional two-person rooftop loft.

Expanding Bed Replaces East-West Sleeping

The Series A expanding bedframe is now the standard sleeping setup on all three models. It slides out on aluminum tracks to 78 by 68 inches. The builder’s launch post lists 68 by 54 inches stowed, which gives you the floor back by day. Also, the frame stays removable, and the builder says you keep the sheets on when you expand or stow it.

The builder called east-west sleeping a drawback of the previous Doc Holliday. Because the builder cites 70 inches of chassis width, east-west sleeping makes one person climb over the other. With the north-south layout, the company says two adults over six feet tall sleep flat.

The new bed also removes the need for fiberglass flares. Every 2027 model therefore uses the standard Mercedes Sprinter 2500 chassis without them. This means fewer cut holes in the sidewalls, less leak potential and no paint matching. In my view, dropping the east-west option entirely is the right call, because a half-measure would leave the compromise in place.

Invisacook Cook-Through Countertops and New Interior Options

Sleeping is not the only change inside the van. The Invisacook system with porcelain countertops is new for 2027. First, you place a silicone mat on the counter. Then you set an induction-safe pan on top and switch it on. The company says the pan heats in minutes while the countertop stays cool to the touch.

As a result, the counter keeps its full working area when the stove is off. The builder also adds signature interior palettes by a professional interior designer. Beyond the counters, a fully outfitted kitchen package is also available for buyers who want to cook on day one.

Hydronic Heated Floor, Roof Rack and Suspension Return

Several popular options carry forward. The hydronic heated floor sits on a ZeroWood composite subfloor. According to the builder, it warms the floor, furniture and walls radiantly, instead of leaving heat in the top half of the van. Since heat sizing matters in a van, our guide to sizing a van heater explains the numbers.

The walkable Series A Decked roof rack returns with MOLLE panels for large gear and room for solar. Suspension is back as well, with the Fox 2.5 Race Elite Series kit. The Dark Star Offroad rear coilovers also add a front strut, so you get two complete systems to choose from.

Off Highway Van Pricing, Trims and Ordering

Next comes the cost. All three models come in Basecamp, Pro and Pro-X trims. The builder’s models page lists a starting price of $199,990. RV PRO reports $199,999 for a Basecamp on the 144 and $289,999 for a Pro-X on the 170. The sources differ, so confirm the figure when you order.

Pro-X pairs radiant heated floors and a JL Audio package with Fox Factory suspension. Also, every van carries a 5-year, 100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. RV PRO reports delivery in eight weeks from a funded deposit. The builder’s FAQ says a build typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, depending on options.

What This Means for You

First, consider the price tier. The Storyteller GEAR MODE Sprinter van starts at $149,497. Base price to base price, Off Highway Van sits about $50,000 higher. The builder cites its aluminum construction, storage capacity and factory-direct support as its strengths. Even so, weigh each against your own priorities.

Second, watch the weight. Water, gear and people all add to the 7,500 to 8,500 pound finished weight. Therefore, ask for the scale weight and remaining payload of your configured build. Our piece on overlanding payload limits shows the math.

Third, check timing. If you are eyeing an in-stock van, confirm the model year and bed configuration on the listing, because the maker also lists 2026 builds as available now. The announcement does not say whether prices moved from 2026. Therefore, ask for a written quote.

Finally, think about who sleeps in the van. The builder says the north-south bed lets two adults over six feet tall sleep flat. If you and your partner are both tall, this change matters most. For everyone else, the price and weight questions matter more.

All-wheel drive helps on loose ground, yet soft sand still traps heavy vans and sloped camps tilt the bed. For a van near 8,500 pounds, the VIAIR 400P Portable Air Compressor, BUNKER INDUST Off-road Traction Boards and Andersen Hitches 2-Pack Camper Leveler Blocks all fit. Their listings rate the compressor for tires up to 35 inches, the boards for 10 tons and the levelers for 30,000 pounds.

Final Thoughts

If you drive a truck or SUV and have eyed a van for longer trips, the sleeping setup deserves a close look. The expanding bed fixes a layout the builder itself called a drawback of the Doc Holliday. Losing the flares gives the body a plainer look, and the Doc Holliday now matches the bed layout of the other models.

The trade-offs are cost and newness. Starting prices sit near $200,000, and the builder’s recent completed Pro and Pro-X builds ran from $264,990 to $286,990. The redesigned Doc Holliday is new, so long-term owner feedback on it is limited. If I were spending this much, I would ask to see the expanding bed in person before signing.

Therefore, if you want a family-sized AWD Sprinter with real storage, the Doc Holliday deserves a spot on your shortlist. Compare it with other builders, and ask for the scale weight and a written quote first.
