2027 DM Vans LV3

Is This Van for You?

Everything You Need. Nothing More.

The LV3 is our most compact van, built for solo travelers and outdoor enthusiasts who value maneuverability without sacrificing capability. It parks like an SUV or large car. You can fit it in standard parking spots. It fits in your garage (well, if your garage is tall enough).

Yes, The Price Includes the Van

No surprise “oh, and you’ll need to source your own van” nonsense. Your LV3 includes everything, including the RAM ProMaster chassis, the complete build, every included system installed. We build you an awesome, fully complete van that’s ready for your next adventure.

Standard on Every 2027 LV3

Standard Where It Counts

Every 2027 LV3 Backcountry comes ready for the road with a full-length roof rack, a composting toilet, rear Sumo Springs, and a complete set of insulated covers built in. The features that make the van flexible, comfortable, and ready to live in are part of the build, not extras to chase down.

New for 2027

A Full-Length Roof Rack, Standard

A roof rack is one of the things travelers ask us for most. For 2027, every LV3 Backcountry ships with a full-length, black powder-coated aluminum roof rack as standard, with the solar panels mounted to it. One clean, integrated platform across the top of your van that keeps the roof sealed tight and gives you a solid base for an awning or a ladder.

Easier Solar Upgrades

With the panels mounted to the rack instead of the roof, replacing or upgrading your solar down the road is a much simpler job.

Awning and Ladder Ready

The rack fits most awnings on the market, and our optional side ladder attaches directly to it for easy roof access.

Fewer Holes, Cleaner Build

One integrated rack means fewer penetrations in the roof, which means fewer points to seal and fewer places for leaks to start over the life of your van. Installed as part of the build and finished to match.

Composting Toilet, Standard

Every 2027 LV3 includes a hideaway Trelino composting toilet. No black tank, no chemicals, no dump station hunt. It tucks away when you don’t need it and is ready when you do, so going off the grid stays simple. Planning longer trips? Upgrade to a vented Nature’s Head.

Insulated Covers, Included

A complete set of interior magnetic insulated window covers, plus insulated covers for your roof vent fans, comes with every LV3. Privacy when you want it, insulation when you need it, and a more comfortable cabin in heat and cold alike.

A note on insurance and titling: When you go to insure your van, your chassis may show as a 2026 RAM ProMaster until your DM Vans title conversion is complete. That’s normal. We build our 2027 Backcountry in 2026 on the 2026 RAM ProMaster (currently the only ProMaster RAM produces); it’s standard Class B upfitter practice. Your van is sold and titled as a 2027 DM Vans Class B Recreational Vehicle, and RAM warranty coverage begins on your date of sale.

Specifications based on the 2026 RAM ProMaster cargo van platform and current DM Vans build standard. Both chassis features and DM Vans build content may be updated during the model year as RAM releases chassis changes or as we refine our build. Final specifications are confirmed at time of deposit.
