What Is a Mini-T Campervan? A Practical Class B RV for Everyday Use and Travel

The Mini-T Campervan by DLM-Distribution is for people who want the comfort of a true Class B RV without the compromises that come with large motorhomes. The Mini-T is intentionally sized to fit into everyday life—easy to drive, simple to park, and efficient to own—while still delivering full camping capability for short getaways or extended travel.

With an overall height under 80 inches on standard Mini-T models, the campervan fits inside most residential garages, can go through standard car washes, and is widely accepted in HOA-regulated communities. This combination allows owners to keep their campervan at home, use it during the week, and travel whenever the opportunity arises.

A Campervan That Fits Many Uses

The Mini-T Campervan is designed to eliminate the friction that keeps many RVs parked and unused. Its compact footprint allows it to drive, park, and maneuver like a personal vehicle, while its fully integrated off-grid electrical system supports camping without relying on shore power. Owners can prepare meals, make coffee, power medical devices such as a CPAP machine, and stay comfortable whether they are at a campground or traveling between destinations.

Multiple Chassis Options, One Proven Concept

The Mini-T Campervan is offered on several carefully selected automotive platforms, each serving a different type of traveler while maintaining the same core camping experience.

The Ford Transit Connect Mini-T Campervan emphasizes efficiency and maneuverability. Measuring approximately 189.7 inches in length and under 80 inches in height, it fits easily into standard garages and delivers fuel economy up to 28 MPG. With a towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds, it is well suited for travelers who prioritize ease of driving, lower operating costs, and compact size.

The Chrysler Pacifica Mini-T Campervan adds power and capability while remaining garage-friendly. At approximately 205 inches in length and under 80 inches tall, it features all-wheel drive, a 6-cylinder engine, and a towing capacity of up to 3,600 pounds. Fuel efficiency typically ranges from 17 to 25 MPG, making it a strong option for travelers who encounter varied terrain, seasonal weather, or towing needs.

The Chrysler Voyager Mini-T Campervan shares the same interior layout and camping systems as the Pacifica model but is built on a front-wheel-drive platform. It offers excellent fuel efficiency—generally between 19 and 28 MPG—while maintaining the same garage-friendly height and overall length. For travelers who want a balance of efficiency, interior comfort, and everyday drivability, the Voyager Mini-T is a practical and well-rounded choice.

For Those Who Want More Interior Height: The Mini-T HR

For travelers who do not need a garage-friendly campervan, DLM-Distribution also offers the Mini-T HR (High Roof). Built on the Ford Transit AWD platform, the Mini-T HR provides full stand-up interior height and a more open, walk-through living space. This model is ideal for extended travel or for those who value interior room over compact exterior dimensions. While it does not fit in standard residential garages, it can be accommodated by garages with approximately 10-foot door heights.

Fully Equipped for Everyday Use and Extended Camping

Every Mini-T Campervan is built with quality craftsmanship and a complete set of integrated systems. Features include solar-supported charging, a 2000-watt inverter, robust power storage and management, shore power capability, remote start, a reversible roof fan, LED lighting, limo-tinted windows, and a tow package.

Inside, the layout is designed for simplicity and comfort, with a pull-out bed, refrigerator, microwave oven usable both on and off grid, sink, privacy curtain, bug-screened windows, and thoughtful storage throughout. Each Mini-T Campervan also includes a starter kit so owners can begin traveling immediately.

A Practical Alternative to Traditional RV Ownership

The Mini-T Campervan stands apart because it does not demand a separate lifestyle just to own it. It can be parked at home, driven daily, and used frequently—without storage fees, special parking arrangements, or excessive operating costs. Its size allows access to state parks, national parks, scenic byways, and towns that larger RVs often avoid.

Whether built on the Ford Transit Connect, Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler Voyager, or offered as the Mini-T HR, the Mini-T Campervan delivers a rare combination of practicality, efficiency, and true camping capability. It is a Class B RV designed to be used often, enjoyed fully, and integrated seamlessly into everyday life.

Happy Camping!
