Best 4x4 campervan 2026
Premium all-wheel-drive campervans are becoming more popular than ever and this award celebrates the best campervans for off-road and off-grid living
Best 4x4 campervan 2026
RP Rebellion 2 AWD Pro
The best simply got better. When RP’s Steve Young was faced with the dilemma of Mercedes-Benz discontinuing the super-high roof version of the Sprinter, he had to develop his own raised roof to create the necessary headroom for the Rebellion’s unique elevated rear lounge.
But Steve wasn’t content with simply replicating what Mercedes had offered before.
The new top had to have an OEM look to it, while increasing both headroom and storage in what many already considered to be the ultimate in off-road, off-grid campervans.
Of course, the latest Rebellion retains the USP of twin top-hinged doors at the rear.
The lower one provides access to a more capacious garage, the top one opening for panoramic views and fresh air in that fabulous rear seating, which at night doubles as a spacious bedroom.
The second lounge, up front, has been reconfigured for more comfort and has a new pull-out footstool.
The new kitchen has a vast amount of worktop and an optional two-drawer 150-litre compressor fridge and coffee machine.
With RP Smart Assist you can control everything from an iPad, while the 24V Advanced Power Management System ensures that you can stay off-grid indefinitely.
