© Les Affaires

Class B campers show one of the highest growth rates in the camping industry over the past five years, despite their high cost. The base price for a ready-made camper starts at $150,000, while models based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a full set of equipment CAN reach $300,000. As a more affordable alternative, removable kits for converting minivans are offered starting at $5,300.
