The Getaway Van

How do I get support?

Technically, your Getaway van should be supported by the dealer from whom you bought it. If you own a secondhand (or thirdhand) Getaway, that dealer is still responsible. Any commercial Mercedes dealer is responsible, just like the chassis warranty. The warranty is a full three years or 36,000 miles. Another route is to contact the team that builds the Getaway vans - Driverge. With all that said, Peace Vans probably has more knowledge and expertise than either of those entities and while we can't provide warranty support, we often have the parts and expertise to help you with your Getaway. Always feel free to reach out to us.

History of the Getaway Van

We like to say this story is best told over beers, but it is pretty straightforward. Back in 2018, Peace Vans began building Metris campers. The Metris struggled to find a market, and the Sprinter RV scene exploded. The team at Mercedes thought a camper on the Metris might make sense. In 2019, the leads from Mercedes came through Seattle and began getting serious about the project. Mercedes, as we've been told, was looking at some huge builders and smaller, more innovative ones. In the summer of 2019, Peace Vans was selected to be the "design partner" on the not-yet-named Getaway project, and Mercedes paired us up with a team called Driverge who would take our design and knowledge and manufacture the vans for sale at any commercial dealer nationwide. We were very excited about this, and even though our brand didn't make it on the end project, we were compensated for our efforts and excited to see our hard work come to a more effective channel. The highlight was attending the Chicago Auto Show in February 2020 - one of the last events before COVID. Being on the floor of that show with Mercedes-Benz was something we'll never forget.
