Class B RVs, Conversion Vans & Campervans for Sale in Philadelphia, PA
"We were tired of planning short trips around hotel availability, so we wanted a camper van that gave us more freedom. Our Vansmith has made it easy to leave Tulsa for a few days with our gear, food, and everything else we need already with us."
— Megan C., Tulsa, OK
"We spend a lot of weekends outdoors, and storage was a big deal for us. Our Vansmith has room for our camping gear without making the living area feel crowded. It’s been especially nice for those last-minute trips when we just want to get out of town."
— Josh R., Tulsa, OK

Tulsa is better positioned for van travel than it gets credit for. The Ozarks are two hours east, Beavers Bend three hours southeast, the Wichita Mountains three hours southwest, and Route 66 runs straight through town. The two things a camper van for sale in Tulsa has to handle are Oklahoma summer heat and the severe weather season that runs from spring into early summer.
The Vansmith builds Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit camper vans in Boulder, Colorado, and delivers them to buyers across northeastern Oklahoma. We have built more than 300 vans since 2016. Conversion packages on a van you already own start at $46,950, complete vans with the chassis included start at $115,950, and pre-built Bivy models run from $119,700 to $145,845 depending on trim.

A family-owned Boulder shop with more than 300 vans built since 2016, all designed, wired and finished in-house rather than outsourced.
Both platforms every week, with honest guidance on which fits your budget and your routes.
Refined across hundreds of builds, with storage planned around what people actually carry.
Battery, solar, charging and monitoring specified as one system. See our Electrical System work and Solar Installation page.
A gear garage beneath a raised bed, overhead cabinets and roof racks.
Every system installed by our own team, which means the people who wired your van can service it later. See Repairs, installations, and services and Heater Service .
A lifetime warranty on our cabinets for the original owner, with no mileage or year limits.
Design, approve and pay from Tulsa, then collect in Boulder or have the van transported.
| Technical Factor | Ford Transit | Mercedes-Benz Sprinter | Why It Matters for Tulsa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle platform | Transit 148 or 148 extended | Sprinter 144 or 170 | Both take every layout we build; the choice is cost and service, not capability |
| Body configuration | High roof cargo van | High roof cargo van | High roof gives standing headroom inside for most adults |
| Interior height | Standing headroom in high roof form | Standing headroom in high roof form | Confirm exact interior height against your own height at order |
| Interior length | Approx. 19.5 ft or 22.5 ft built | Approx. 19.5 ft or 22.5 ft built | Decides whether an interior shower fits |
| Vehicle width | Comparable across both | Comparable across both | Both fit a standard parking space and lane |
| Powertrain options | Gas EcoBoost | Diesel | Diesel gives more range per tank on long Oklahoma drives |
| Drivetrain | RWD or AWD | RWD, AWD or 4x4 | AWD is ample for Oklahoma; 4x4 matters only for rough terrain |
| Electrical system | Identical options on both | Identical options on both | Battery, inverter, charging and monitoring specified as one system |
| Solar capacity | Sized to roof area and layout | Sized to roof area and layout | Oklahoma sun makes solar effective most of the year |
| Battery capacity | Lithium, sized to your draw | Lithium, sized to your draw | The single most important spec for running air conditioning off-grid |
| Alternator charging | DC-DC charging available | DC-DC charging available | Refills the bank on long highway drives |
| Shore power | Available on both | Available on both | The practical answer for all-night cooling in peak summer |
| Cooling requirements | 12V air conditioning available | 12V air conditioning available | Size the battery bank around this, not the other way round |
| Heating requirements | Fuel-fired heater available | Fuel-fired heater available | Runs off the vehicle's own fuel tank, using very little battery |
| Water system | Fresh and gray tanks, sized to layout | Fresh and gray tanks, sized to layout | Sized to the gaps between services on your usual routes |
| Refrigeration | 12V compressor fridge | 12V compressor fridge | Keeps food cold for days without ice |
| Storage capacity | Gear garage, cabinets, roof racks | Gear garage, cabinets, roof racks | Usually the real constraint, more than floor space |
| Sleeping capacity | 2 in DUO layouts, 4 in FAMILY | 2 in DUO layouts, 4 in FAMILY | Seatbelt count, not floor space, decides family suitability |
| Ground clearance | Stock clearance similar to Sprinter | Stock clearance similar to Transit | Suspension and tire choice matter more than platform on gravel |
| Turning and maneuverability | 148 turns more tightly than 148 extended | 144 turns more tightly than 170 | Wheelbase drives this, not brand |
| Parking requirements | Standard space at short wheelbase | Standard space at short wheelbase | Height, roughly 9 to 10 ft, is the binding constraint |
| Payload capacity | Adequate headroom for a full build | Adequate headroom for a full build | Confirm GVWR against final build weight for your chassis |
| Towing capacity | Rated to tow; confirm for your chassis | Rated to tow; confirm for your chassis | Towing changes how a loaded van handles and brakes |
| Service considerations | Any Ford dealer in Oklahoma | Fewer Mercedes van centers nearby | A real factor if the van is your daily vehicle |
| Best comparison criteria | Lower cost, easier local service | Longer range, stronger resale | For most Tulsa buyers the Transit is the better value |
