A Class B Campervan for Lebanon: Inside the Maxus Van Motorhome

Some travellers do not want to tow anything. They want one vehicle that drives like a van, parks like a van and still has a kitchen, a bed and a bathroom inside. That is the idea behind the Class B campervan: a high-roof panel van converted into a complete small home on wheels.

In this guide we look inside a real example, the Class B van motorhome that Lebanon Caravans imports to order, using photos from its gallery. Then we cover where it fits best in Lebanon and what to check before you buy.

What Is a Class B Campervan?

Class B is the compact end of the motorhome family. The body is a factory van with a raised roof, so you can stand up inside, and the interior is built into the cargo area. Compared with the other options:

• Easier to drive and park than a Class C motorhome. There is no overcab box, so it fits ordinary parking spaces and narrow village streets far better. If you are comparing, read our tour of the Class C IVECO motorhome.
• No towing skills needed. A trailer gives more space for the money, but a van needs no hitch, no reversing practice and no separate registration. Our caravan vs campervan comparison lays out the trade-offs.
• Less space, more freedom. You give up some living room in exchange for a vehicle you can use every day.

Inside: A Room-by-Room Tour

Kitchen and counter

The galley runs along one side of the van: a stainless-steel sink, an induction hob and a worktop, with overhead lockers and a wardrobe above and beside it. It is a compact kitchen, perfect for coffee, eggs, pasta and one-pot dinners. A large side window lets in daylight and fresh air while you cook. For more on planning a small kitchen, see our notes on off-grid camping essentials and the guide to campervan ventilation and condensation.

Dinette and swivel seats

Opposite the kitchen, a folding table sits between two bench seats, and the cab seats swivel round to face it. That gives four people a place to eat, play cards or work on a laptop, even when it rains outside. Swivel seats are one of the smartest tricks in a small van, because they turn the cockpit into part of the living room. If you work on the road, read our guide to working remotely from a van.

Rear bed and storage

At the back, the interior converts into a large sleeping area, with roller blinds on the side windows for privacy and overhead cabinets above. Open the rear doors and the bed platform doubles as a loading area, with storage cabinets below it. Ask the team how the dinette and the rear platform convert, and how many full-size berths you get in each setup. Our guide to choosing a campervan bed layout explains the common options.

Bathroom

A bathroom is what separates a true motorhome from a basic camper. This van has a dedicated washroom compartment with a shower area, so you can freshen up after a beach day or a mountain hike without hunting for public facilities. Before you buy, ask how big the fresh and waste tanks are and how the toilet is emptied. Our campervan toilets comparison and water system guide explain what to look for.

Why a Class B Works So Well in Lebanon

Lebanon rewards small vehicles. Coastal car parks are tight, village roads are narrow and mountain bends are steep. A van-sized motorhome handles all of that, while still giving you somewhere to sleep and cook. Good uses include:

• Coast weekends: drive from Batroun to Tyre and stop wherever the view is good. Our Batroun to Tyre coastal road trip lists stops.
• North Lebanon: the pine forests and quiet villages of Dinnieh and Akkar suit a slow weekend. See camping in Dinnieh and Qornet es Saouda.
• The Bekaa: long, flat roads make for easy driving between Zahle, Baalbek and Anjar. Read the Bekaa Valley road trip.
• Mountain routes: a van is far easier on hairpin bends than a long motorhome, but still read the best mountain roads in Lebanon for vans and caravans first.

Wherever you stop, ask the landowner or municipality for permission, stay away from military sites and border areas, and leave every place cleaner than you found it.

What to Check Before You Buy

1. Berths. The product page says the van sleeps 4. Confirm how many full-size beds you really get, and whether that suits your family. If you need more room, a trailer or a Class C may be better.
2. Height and weight. Measure the van's height against your usual parking, and ask for the exact weight and payload.
3. Power. Ask what battery, charger and solar come with it, and read our solar and electrical basics.
4. Climate. Lebanese summers are hot and winter nights in the mountains are cold. Ask about air conditioning, heating and insulation, and read our staying cool in a campervan and winter camping tips.
5. Service and paperwork. Ask about registration, warranty and spare parts, then follow a maintenance schedule.

If you can, sit at the dinette and lie on the bed before you decide.
