Winnebago launches the Revel 4x4 camper van

As it's based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4, Winnebago's Revel should appeal to people who enjoy off-grid camping in remote places.

This new van conversion (or Class B in American parlance) is powered by a 3.0 litre, six-cylinder, turbo-diesel engine that delivers 188 bhp (140 kW / 190 PS) and 440 Nm (325 lb/ft) of torque via a five-speed automatic transmission. To help exploit the on-demand four-wheel drive facility, hill descent control is also part of the specification.

Features installed by Winnebago include a diesel-fired heating and hot water system, three leisure batteries, a solar charger, a 2,000 watt inverter and double-glazed acrylic windows with built-in shades.

The habitation area has a fairly conventional layout. On the driver's side, there's a dinette that utilises a pull-up table and the rotating cab seats. Positioned behind is a wet washroom with a shower and a swivelling cassette toilet.

Opposite is the small galley, which boasts welded aluminium cabinet face frames and positive-closing latches for extra durability. Because everything here runs off electricity, a compressor-driven refrigerator is fitted and cooking facilities are limited to a single induction hob.

At the rear, a Power Lift double bed can be raised to the ceiling to create a huge garage space beneath. Cleverly, the addition of bodywork protrusions allows for transverse sleeping.
