Why buyers love Midwest Automotive Designs

Midwest Automotive Designs has built luxury Mercedes-Benz Sprinter conversions out of Elkhart, Indiana since 2000, starting with the original Weekender and Business Class coaches and growing into one of the best-known high-end Class B names in America. It is a Mercedes-Benz-approved upfitter, and that pedigree shows in the work: hand-rubbed wood veneers, custom leather seating, induction galleys, full wet baths, and large lithium-electric power systems with inverters and solar. The current RV lineup runs on the Sprinter diesel — the Passage and Patriot camper vans in 144, 170-standard, and 170-extended lengths — alongside the Daycruiser and the executive Patriot Cruiser and Luxe Cruiser coaches that blur the line between motorhome and chauffeured limousine. The company is now part of the publicly traded REV Group, which gave it the resources to launch the higher-end Patriot in 2017 to complement REV's American Coach brand. The honest picture: owners on forums and dealer reviews consistently praise the build quality, the finish, and direct factory support at owner rallies, but Midwest carries only a C- rating from the Better Business Bureau, is not BBB accredited, and several owners warn that the buying experience depends heavily on the dealer. These are luxury-money vans, the diesel Sprinter needs specialized service, and individual models have thin third-party review counts. Below is a current-and-recent lineup with real specs, real floor plans, and an honest read on what owners praise and what to watch.

Here's the part the lot won't tell you: the best Midwest deals are usually two to four years old. Let the first owner eat the steep early depreciation, then buy a van that's already been shaken down, with the bugs sorted and the records to prove it. That's exactly the kind of unit our RV buyer's agents hunt for, and we run an independent inspection on every one before you wire a dollar. Already own one and ready to move on? We'll list and sell it through our RV broker service for the retail number it's worth — not the wholesale gutting a dealer offers on trade.

What owners love

  • Genuinely premium, Mercedes-approved builds. As a factory-approved Sprinter upfitter, Midwest finishes its vans with hand-rubbed wood veneers, custom leather seating, and solid-surface galleys and baths — forum owners repeatedly rate the craftsmanship near the top of the Class B field.
  • Big lithium-electric power, offered as a real package. The Freedom lithium options (up to roughly 1,080Ah on the Patriot) pair large battery banks with 3,000-watt inverters, solar, and diesel heat — letting owners drop the propane generator entirely and camp off-grid.
  • Strong factory support and resale. Owners single out direct help from the Elkhart factory and the MAD owners' rallies (training, on-site repairs, follow-up), and because these are custom, low-volume builds, clean used Passages, Patriots, and Weekenders hold value well.

What to watch

  • Luxury pricing is the headline trade-off. New Passages and Patriots run from the high $100,000s into the $200,000s, and a loaded widebody or executive Cruiser pushes past $250,000 — you are buying luxury-vehicle money, and used bargains are rare.
  • The dealer experience is uneven. Midwest holds only a C- rating with the Better Business Bureau and is not BBB accredited; owners praise the factory but repeatedly warn that the dealer you buy through makes or breaks the experience.
  • Class B and Sprinter-diesel realities apply. These are two- to four-person vans with compact wet baths and modest tankage, the turbo-diesel Sprinter needs specialized service, and individual models carry thin third-party review counts — inspect any used unit's lithium system, seals, and service history hard.
From real owners

What Midwest Automotive Designs owners are saying

Midwest Automotive Designs has no meaningful aggregate score on RV Insider — the brand and model pages there currently show a default 1.0 with zero qualifying reviews — so the honest read comes from owner forums, dealer testimonials, and the Better Business Bureau rather than a single star average. On the Class B Forum and iRV2, owners consistently rate Midwest's build quality at or near the top of the luxury Class B field, comparing it favorably to Advanced RV and other premium upfitters, and they single out the hand-rubbed wood, custom seating, and direct factory support at the MAD owners' rallies. The recurring caution is the buying experience: Midwest carries a C- rating with the Better Business Bureau and is not BBB accredited (common for RV makers, but worth noting), with owners warning that 'most of the dealers are terrible' even when the coach itself is excellent. Because Midwest is a low-volume custom builder now owned by REV Group, individual models such as the Passage, Patriot, Daycruiser, and the executive Cruisers have thin or no third-party review counts, so we keep our read at the brand level and say so honestly. The throughline across sources: buyers love the craftsmanship, the Mercedes chassis, and the lithium-power options, and warn about dealer variability and luxury pricing.

Questions

Midwest Automotive Designs — buyer FAQs

How much does a Midwest Class B luxury Sprinter vans cost?
It spans a wide range. Midwest Automotive Designs builds at the top of the Class B market, and the stickers show it: a new Passage or Patriot RV typically lands in the high $100,000s to low $200,000s, and a fully optioned widebody Patriot or executive Cruiser can push past $250,000. Because these are custom, low-volume builds on the Mercedes Sprinter, clean used examples hold value well and bargains are rare — a tidy used Weekender, Passage, or Daycruiser still commands strong money. Budget like you would for a luxury vehicle, not a mass-market RV, and price the specific build: lithium-and-solar power packages, AWD, and the executive trims add up fast. Each model page below lists a typical resale range, and we'll get you an exact number on any specific van for sale.
Is Midwest Automotive Designs a good brand?
Genuinely premium, Mercedes-approved builds. As a factory-approved Sprinter upfitter, Midwest finishes its vans with hand-rubbed wood veneers, custom leather seating, and solid-surface galleys and baths — forum owners repeatedly rate the craftsmanship near the top of the Class B field.
Where are Midwest Automotive Designs luxury Sprinter vans built?
In Elkhart, Indiana, USA, where the company has been since 2000. That matters because the factory service center is a big part of why owners stay loyal.
Should I get a used Midwest inspected before buying?
Always. A used van can hide deferred maintenance on the roof, slides, and levelers. Our independent RV inspectors check it before any money moves, and a buyer's agent turns what they find into leverage on price.
