Voyager vs. Pacifica: Which Mini-T Campervan Platform Is Right for You?

While DLM-Distribution manufactures Mini-T Campervans on a variety of platforms—including the Ford Transit, Ford Transit Connect, and Chrysler minivans—this guide focuses on the Chrysler-based Mini-T Campervans. If you're considering a Chrysler platform, one of the first decisions is whether the front-wheel-drive Voyager or the all-wheel-drive Pacifica is the right fit for your lifestyle.

Both vans receive the full Mini-T Campervan conversion, offering the same off-grid functionality, daily usability, and garageable convenience. The primary differences lie in drivetrain, factory-installed tech, and traction-related performance.


Chrysler Voyager Mini-T Campervan: Affordable, Efficient, and Smartly Equipped

The Voyager-based Mini-T Campervan is a favorite among those seeking maximum value and fuel efficiency in a travel-ready, garage-friendly RV. Built on the Chrysler Voyager LX, it delivers practical features and smooth performance powered by a 3.6L V6 engine and front-wheel drive.

Voyager Highlights:

-     3.6L Pentastar V6 engine (287 hp) with 9-speed automatic transmission

-     Front-wheel drive for simple maintenance and high fuel efficiency (up to 28 MPG highway)

-     10.1-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5

-     Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Ideal for retirees, solo travelers, or couples seeking a dependable and cost-effective campervan for everything from daily errands to long-distance road trips.


Chrysler Pacifica AWD Mini-T Campervan: Enhanced Traction and Driving Confidence

The Pacifica-based Mini-T Campervan is built on the Chrysler Pacifica Select trim with all-wheel drive. This version includes additional driver-assist features, advanced lighting, and improved traction for those who travel year-round or frequently encounter variable road conditions. While both the Voyager and Pacifica perform well across climates, the AWD system gives added confidence in snow, gravel, or slick conditions.

Pacifica AWD Highlights:

-     3.6L V6 engine with 9-speed automatic transmission

-     LED exterior lighting (headlamps, fog lamps, taillamps)
