GET OUT There IN Rufus!Rufus, a 2022 Storyteller Overland Beast Mode 4x4 is the soulmate to the rugged individualist giving you full access to the outdoors. One of the hottest new vans to hit the market, Storyteller Overland’s approach throughout the entire process of designing, testing, and manufacturing the Mode 4x4 series has been to deliver an adventure-ready vehicle that is… Safe, Simple, Fun, Flexible, Rugged, and Ready to Go at all times!Take road trippin' to a new level with Intelligent Navigation, active brake assist, backup cameras, and heated seats. Play your favorite tunes using the Mbux Multimedia System with a touchscreen.Fans of the Beast Mode rave about the rugged features. Rufus is built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4 144" chassis and features an aluminum extruded roof rack with dual solar panels and an electric awning with LED lights. A tubular side-mounted ladder makes strapping extra gear up top a breeze. Travel off the beaten path in full confidence using the KC Highlights Extreme Lighting Package, Tenzing Brushguard Bumper, Agile Ride Improvement Package, and ARB On-Board Air with Front & Rear Chucks.Stay off-grid in comfort. Both air conditioning and heat are available to you using the M-Power Extender system. Stay fully charged using the available power outlets and USB plugs throughout. Automotive-graded lithium batteries provide all the power you'll need, without ever needing a noisy generator.The van comfortably seats and sleeps three adults (or two adults and two kids), so it is perfect for families or for outings with friends. Two adults sleep comfortably on the platform bed and the bench seat converts into a bed, perfect for one adult or two small kids. Bring along extra gear and make use of the "garage" space under the bed.The kitchen has all the modern conveniences of a home, including a flip-up sink, refrigerator, and portable electric cooktop stove. There's even a microwave (relatively rare in most camper vans)!A cassette toilet can be used inside the van or outside, and the same is true of the shower giving you the freedom to take a hot shower inside or outside after a long day of adventure.If you want to tell better stories, first you need to make better memories. Rufus is the van to do that in.For those looking to try before you buy, this Beast Mode will give you a great sense of how the Mode handles and what it feels like (heaven) on the inside.Take Rufus out into the wild, that's what he's built for!Location

Rufus the van was such an incredible experience! My girlfriend and I had the adventure of a lifetime going to Tahoe, Yosemite, and Big Sur with Rufus as our cozy little home. The van truly has everything you might need for a comfortable and easy trip! My host had canceled last minute and I was lucky enough to find Rufus in time for the trip- it was an absolute dream.

Jacob was a fantastic host, very communicative. The rig was the nicest we have ever stayed in, completely over the top, every little feature perfectly thought out, and so worth it. We felt spoiled and will forever be comparing other vans to this one. Would absolutely rent again.
