Inside The New Lineage Series VT Luxury Adventure Van

Spring is here — and with it, the call of the open road, the itch to explore hidden trails, and the promise of longer days under wide skies. If you’re dreaming about a fresh start or plotting your next big getaway, there’s one adventure van that’s turning heads and raising the bar: the all-new Lineage Series VT from Grand Design.

This isn’t just another van conversion. It’s a purpose-built, RVIA-certified adventure vehicle designed to go further, live bigger, and do it all with the comfort, reliability, and innovation Grand Design is known for. It’s luxury built for the wild.

So what makes the Lineage Series VT stand out in a crowded field?

Here are five reasons it should be at the top of your spring gear-up list:

1. It’s the Industry’s Only RVIA-Certified AWD Adventure Van That Sleeps Up to Four

You read that right — no other AWD van in its class can claim this.

The Lineage VT is the only RVIA-certified all-wheel drive adventure van on the market, giving you the rugged performance you need for off-grid adventures and the peace of mind that comes with full compliance to motorhome standards. That means tested, proven systems. No guesswork. Just reliability.

Even better? It comfortably sleeps up to four people, thanks to its smart layout and optional fully integrated and fully ventilated pop-top. Whether you’re road-tripping with family or traveling duo-style with space to spread out, the VT has you covered.

2. The AquaHaven Rainshower System Redefines the Vanlife Bathroom

Let’s be honest — most van showers are a compromise at best. But the AquaHaven system is in a class of its own.

This fully convertible spa-style bathroom features a rainfall shower head, a hidden drain, and a liftable floor tile for maximum space efficiency. When it’s not in use, it disappears into the design. When it’s time to rinse off the trail dust, it transforms into your personal oasis.

No more “camping showers.” Just comfort, privacy, and a truly enjoyable experience wherever you’re parked.

3. The InvisaCook™ Undermount Cooktop Keeps Your Counter Clear — Until It’s Time to Cook

Cooking in a van usually means balancing space and function. The Lineage Series VT comes with an industry-first InvisaCook™ Undermount Cooktop system.

This invisible induction cooktop is built directly into the countertop, which means you get full prep space when you’re not using it, and precise, responsive cooking power when you are. It’s easy to clean, safe to use, and looks like something from a luxury yacht galley.

Morning coffee, midday quesadillas, or gourmet dinners — all without sacrificing the clean lines or open feel of your living space.

4. The Stealth Split AC System Delivers Cool Comfort Without the Bulk or Noise

Air conditioning is essential for summer travel — but rooftop units are loud, ugly, and take up precious real estate.

That’s why the Lineage VT introduces a Stealth Split AC system: it’s fully integrated, whisper-quiet, and completely out of sight. The result? Better airflow, a more streamlined exterior, and the freedom to use your roof for solar panels, cargo boxes, paddleboards, or even a rooftop lounge deck.

It’s the kind of innovation that makes you wonder why every van isn’t built this way.

5. The Available Pop-Top Is Sleek, Insulated, and Seriously Functional

Some pop-tops feel like afterthoughts. Not this one.

The Lineage Series VT’s available fully integrated and ventilated pop-top is designed right into the van’s structure. It’s insulated for comfort in all seasons, well-ventilated for airflow, and adds significant sleeping space without bulking up the look or feel of the vehicle.

It’s the perfect solution for families, friends, or anyone who wants more flexibility in a compact footprint. And unlike many aftermarket options, this one looks and feels like it belongs — because it does.
