Is This Van for You?
The Right-Sized Choice
The LV5 is for people who’ve done their research. You know you want more than a weekend camper, but you don’t need a 21-foot extended body. You want room to work, cook, and actually live, in a package that fits your life.
👫
Couples
Room for two without wasted space.
💻
Remote Workers
Enough power and space to actually get work done.
🛣️
Extended Travelers
Built for weeks on the road, not just weekends.
🔍
Researched Buyers
You’ve compared. You know what matters.
Nearly two feet longer than the LV3, but still parks like a large SUV. The sweet spot.

The Experience

Yes, The Price Includes the Van
No surprise “oh, and you’ll need to source your own van” nonsense. Your LV5 includes everything: 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 LV5
Standard Where It Counts
Every 2027 LV5 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 LV5 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 LV5 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 LV5. Privacy when you want it, insulation when you need it, and a more comfortable cabin in heat and cold alike.

Three Layouts
Choose Your Bed Configuration
Pick the layout that fits how you sleep and how you pack.
Optional: Foldaway rear seat available with any layout (adds 2 seats & seat belts). With the Short Queen, you keep the toilet. With the Short King or Full Size bed, the seat takes the toilet’s space, so the build has no toilet and one storage cube space remains.

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.

About This Payment Estimate
The estimated monthly payment of $797 is based on the LV5 Backcountry starting price of $114,800, a 20% down payment of $22,960, and $91,840 financed at 8.5% APR for 240 monthly payments.
This estimate is for illustration only. It is not an offer of credit, a pre-approval, or a guarantee of any rate, term, or payment. All financing is subject to credit approval by the lender. Your actual APR, term, down payment, and monthly payment depend on your credit profile, the lender’s terms, and market rates when you finance, and may be higher or lower than shown.
The estimate does not include sales tax, title and registration fees, the $699 documentation fee, shipping, color upgrades, or optional equipment, any of which will change the amount financed and your payment. The minimum down payment is 10%, and a smaller down payment results in a higher monthly payment. Terms up to 20 years are available to qualified buyers.
