Comfort & Amenities<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Mesa and Del Mar Campervans are both Ford T-350 model vehicles. The average Mesa model year is 2017, and the Del Mar is 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

They have many of the same amenities, but the biggest differences come down to the sleeping arrangments and power features in each van. Here is a breakdown of the sleeping arrangements, kitchen and amenities, and the driving and parking abilities of each van.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sleeping Arrangements<\/span><\/h3>\n

The sleeping arrangements are the primary difference between the Mesa and Del Mar camper vans. Here\u2019s a breakdown of the differences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mesa<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Inside\"Queen-sized<\/p>\n

The <\/span>Mesa Camper Van <\/span><\/a>features a convertible queen-size bed. During the day, use the back of the van as two bench seats with a table; in the evening, turn it into your bedroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mesa can sleep 2 – 5 people, but the inside of the van only sleeps 3, so if you\u2019re a group of 5 you\u2019ll need the <\/span>rooftop sleeper accessory<\/span><\/a>. This is available for an additional $30 a day. In most cases, the rooftop sleeper works well, but if it\u2019s rainy or windy, it\u2019s not the easiest night of sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mesa is the best choice for families with small children with carseats. Since the rear seats are stationary, you won’t need to take the carseat off the bed to make it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Del Mar<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"The \"The<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the Mesa, the <\/span>Del Mar Camper Van<\/span><\/a> also features a convertible queen-size bed on the bottom level that turns into a sitting area with a table during the day. The Del Mar\u2019s premium bonus feature is its built-in interior pop top full-size bed! There\u2019s no need to add a rooftop sleeper to this van.<\/span><\/p>\n

With more comfortable sleeping space, the Del Mar is a great option for travelers who need a little more room and are looking for a more premium comfort experience. The Del Mar can accommodate up to 5 people.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"
