FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MINI-T CAMPERVAN:
Q: Do your prices include the van?
A: Yes! The Mini-T Campervan is a "Turn-Key" RV ready for your adventures.
Q: If I bring you a van, will you convert it for me?
A: No, we are the licensed dealer and manufacturer of the Mini-T Campervan. There’s no reason to bring us a van, as our campervans are already manufactured and ready for your adventures.
Q: Does DLM-Distribution accept trade-ins?
A: Yes, Trade-ins are considered. Please call for details.
Q: Is the Mini-T Campervan available in AWD or 4WD?
A: Yes! The Mini-T Campervan is offered in a reliable FWD Ford Transit Connect model and a versatile AWD Chrysler Pacifica model.
DLM-Distribution manufactures a variety of campervans, including the fuel-efficient, garageable Transit Connect Campervan, the AWD Chrysler Pacifica Campervan, and the full-size AWD High Roof Ford Transit Campervan.

Q: Does the Mini-T Campervan have a pop-top option?
A: No. The Mini-T Campervan is designed with safety and stability as top priorities. Installing a pop-top requires cutting into the OEM roof structure, which compromises rollover protection and overall integrity of the vehicle. In addition, keeping the solid roof intact allows us to integrate important features such as solar, roof fans, and air conditioning—making the Mini-T safer, more efficient, and better equipped for everyday use and camping alike.
Q: Does DLM-Distribution use lithium batteries in the Mini-T Campervan?
A: No. The Mini-T Campervan is engineered with safety, stability, and reliability in mind, which is why we use AGM battery technology instead of lithium. AGM batteries perform effectively in all weather conditions, charge efficiently with the Mini-T’s solar and power systems, and provide a safer, more stable solution at a lower cost of ownership. This aligns with the Mini-T’s planned purpose: dependable performance for both everyday driving and camping.

Q: Do you offer financing for the Mini-T Campervan?
A: No, we don’t offer financing directly. However, we can suggest a few lenders that may meet the needs of some customers. Many customers also find better terms through their personal bank or credit union. Please call us for more details.
Q: If I live out of state, how do I take delivery of my Mini-T Campervan?
A: Most customers fly into MSP. We will pick you up at the airport and bring you to our facility for your orientation and then you can start your first camping adventures. (Learn more: Out-of-State Purchasing Process)
Q: What about tax and registration if I live out of state?
A: DLM-Distribution is a licensed dealer. If you are not a Minnesota resident, you’ll leave our facility with a 31-day temporary tag, giving you ample time to handle tax, title, and registration in your home state.
For Minnesota residents, we collect tax, title, and license fees at the time of purchase as required by law.
Q: Are there any additional dealer fees or hidden costs?
A: No. At DLM-Distribution, the price you see is the price you pay. We do not charge document fees or any hidden costs.
While some dealers add document fees to cover paperwork processing, we believe this cost adds no real value for customers and can feel unnecessary. Our approach is simple: you deserve to know the full cost of your campervan upfront – no surprises, no gimmicks.

A: We offer shipping. Pricing depends on your location and zip code.
