There’s a certain magic that comes with life on the road. Waking up to a sunrise over the desert. Brewing coffee with the sound of waves in the background. Parking at a trailhead and having your gear ready for the next big climb. For those of us who crave that kind of freedom, the Storyteller Overland MODE van is more than a vehicle—it’s a ticket to endless adventure.
Here are the top five reasons outdoor enthusiasts are making the MODE their go-to rig.
1. Built for Adventure, Right Off the Lot
Some vans take months—or years—to build out. The MODE is ready to roll from day one. Storyteller designed it for people who’d rather be outside exploring than stuck in a garage. The Dreamweaver™ bed system and modular interior make it simple: pick up your van, load your gear, and start chasing horizons. And if you choose to make it a little more your own, STO vans are upfit ready!
2. A Cabin That Adapts to Your Lifestyle
When you’re living out of a van, every inch counts. The MODE’s interior is dialed for versatility. The GrooveLounge™ seating system morphs from road trip seating to a crash pad, workspace, or chill zone. Bikes, boards, climbing racks, and camping gear all find a home without cluttering up your living space. It’s the kind of smart layout that keeps the stoke high, no matter where you are.

3. Go Further Off the Grid
Adventure doesn’t wait for campgrounds with hookups. With the Lithionics Power System and solar setup, the MODE gives you the freedom to post up wherever the trail takes you. Keep your fridge humming, charge your devices, and even run A/C in the middle of the desert—without lugging around a noisy generator. Add in AWD, and you’ve got a rig that’s just as comfortable crawling down a forest road as it is cruising on the highway.
4. Trustworthy Where It Counts
Adventure is fun. Breaking down in the middle of nowhere? Not so much. That’s why Storyteller builds on trusted platforms like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. You get the performance, reliability, and modern safety features you’d expect from those chassis, plus the durability of Storyteller’s adventure-focused design. That means less worrying about your van—and more focus on where it’s taking you.
5. Part of a Bigger Story
Owning a Storyteller isn’t just about getting a van—it’s about joining a tribe of like-minded explorers. From big rallies to casual trailhead meetups, there’s a whole community of folks living out their stories in these rigs. When you drive off in a STO MODE from Hawkes Outdoors, you’re not just buying a vehicle—you’re stepping into a lifestyle with built-in camaraderie.
