Alabama-based Storyteller Overland, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van conversion company, has unveiled the next iteration of its flagship Mode four-by-four camper van: the Beast Mode.
Founder and CEO of Storyteller Overland Jeffrey C. Hunter told Business Insider that the four seasons-capable Beast Mode has multiple uses.
He calls it a "daily driver meets weekend warrior": while it's small enough to fit in a normal parking space, Beast Mode has the ability to go more off-grid and off-road than most class B RVs and four-wheel-drive trucks like Jeeps.
"Our involvement in this particular segment is really driven by a passion and love for that community," Hunter said. "And when we listened [to that community], we tried to develop solutions that really did offer the end-user a very flexible way of having a safe experience."
Instead of creating custom Sprinter van conversions, Storyteller Overland focuses solely on its Mode build, and the original Mode four-by-four serves as the inspiration and base for the new Beast upgrade.
"We've been able to capture an economy of scale and a quality tolerance by turning [our builds] into a repeat build assembly through our manufacturing facilities," Hunter said.
