Papago Vans Mammoth: Essential Off-Grid Camper Van
Papago Vans' stripped-down adventure build packs solar power, fresh water, and climate control into a compact camper van that conquers weekend getaways without overwhelming complexity.
What Is the Papago Vans Mammoth?
The Papago Vans Mammoth is Papago Vans' entry-level custom adventure build, designed for short-term travel with all the essentials and none of the excess. Starting at $62,995 (van not included), it delivers a thoughtfully equipped interior with solar power, fresh water, climate control, and sleeping comfort in a compact, functional layout.
The Mammoth suits solo travelers and couples who want off-grid capability without the complexity of a larger build. Its 23-gallon fresh water tank, dual 200Ah AGM batteries, and 400W solar array are sized specifically for weekend to week-long trips away from hookups.
Optional packages, including the Four Peaks layout with foldable jump seats and a second bed, make the Mammoth adaptable for small families or travel partners who need a bit more sleeping room.
