This makes me want to get rid of my Jeep Recon and get a Ford Sportsmobile... Great workmanship and craftsmanship!
I love the option of having it built my way!
Wow. What a great factory.
Now I want to just MOVE in to the factory. I LOVE Sportsmobile products! That was a fantastic tour,Thank you very much. C-Ya!,,,,Peace!
Thought you might enjoy this video - the factory was awesome and just seeing all of those vans ready to go was great.
You guys have the best factory tour videos! Sports mobil's aren't even my thing, but I was totally into this video...and learned a little something new watching it! Well done Team Russo 🏁
Thank you! They may not be for everyone but there is no denying how cool they are!
Good job, boys! I think I just saw my dream RV.
Now it's time to buy one!
We've got our eyes on a couple things.
Wonderful tour of that facility! I was very impressed with EVERYTHING about this place! 👌
I had to giggle at the closing "Shout Out" credits to your 10 Patrons...what a difference several months make eh?
👍👌✌🏻😎
ok this was awesome. thank you for doing this tour!
You're very welcome!
We're the Russos
You didn't include a link to their website or TH-cam channel. You only included a link to your other TH-cam videos.
I came here to watch the van in the thumbnail... its awesome
You guys have to visit us on Vancouver Island! We are starting to build a composite expedition camper on a crew cab 4x4 sprinter.
We'll give you a ring when we make it up that way.
Absolutely amazing!!!!
really apreciate the factory tours
You're welcome!
Thank You! This is one of my dream rigs!
You're welcome!
Great Video
Very nice tour, thanks for sharing. Interesting variety
You're very welcome!
Nice, would love to own any of those.
👍This was great! Got me thinking..🤔🤔
How Cool is this... I thought Xzibit was gonna pop out of the back of the VW bus 🚐 and do a episode of Pimp My Ride. Now I know the none of those builds are cheap. I'm sure you could buy a camper or feed a small village for a year and promise steak once a week. Much Peace !!!
+Marmac RV Adventures they aren't much more than many of the Sprinter based Class Bs out there unless you go really crazy with the options - and even then you're talking $150k or so for a custom RV that will go anywhere.
Very cool
I won't be purchasing an RV for a while yet, but I'm decided on a class b. I was leaning toward a Roadtrek CS, but Sportsmobile seems like an excellent alternative, given the ability to customize all aspects of the build. Based on the price sheet on their website, it appears to be somewhat less expensive than the Roadtrek as well. Nice tour and great info!
These are great RV's worth checking out - but keep in mind there is over a 1 year wait time for one right now so make sure you give yourself lots of lead time.

Good to know, thanks!
Kudos
Perfection
That place is a dream. It's seems you would only be limited by your own imagination. I would love to see what they could do with my tiny little GMC AWD Safari van. Then again, it looks like you need disposable cash to have any real fun in that place :-(
I think it comes down to how far you want to go with the build (not sure they work on GMC's) but they had some basic 2wd vans there with a really nice interior living area all the way up to those monster Econoline's that can go anywhere.
Please do a tour of Outside Van in Oregon. I can't decide on a Sportsmobile or Outside Van Sprinter 4x4.
We'll take a look when we make it up that way.
Cotton batten absorbs water. Once moisture is behind the panels, you will not be able to get them out.
Amazing video!! Great job Russo’s! Do you know much does it cost to build Mercedes Sprinter from scratch such as the Black Mercedes In Black where John stood intro the last mins?? I would like to know if you do know! Do you know where are they manufacturing Russo? I would like to own one Mercedes Custom build like this one day!! Please any advice?? Any best custom RV build in Cali from northern or Southern?? Thanks Russo
Really cool stuff. Funny, their shop doesn't look busy. They have a long wait time on a build.
We came on Veteran's day and they give all of their Vets the day off, so it wasn't nearly as busy as it would have been.
Interesting that SMB is now making their own "Econoline" type bodies
We thought so too and there seems to be a lot of demand for them.
How much for the 4x4 conversion?
I had a 1967 vw sportsmobile it was amazing, we loved it. so are you considering one joe?, this has as much room as the lance, maybe more and minimizes your foot print to the max, which i am thinking is the whole reason for down sizing . thanks for another fantastic video, i learned a lot
They are definitely a consideration but the more capable rigs are a bit beyond our budget...plus they currently have over a 1yr wait to get one built. We've been looking at used units too but they really hold their value well.
Do you make class B+ RV? Thank you
Do you have factory in northern VA or nearby ? Thanks
first - very interesting
Hi. Mind sharing what is the range like? Won't be buying 1 soon but Would like to be prepared for when it's time.
It really varies on how you customize going from mild to wild.
Hey guys, if you two don't drive out of that place with something, I will be convinced you really don't want a different vehicle :-)
lol - these are some REALLY cool vans and yes it was hard to walk out of there without something new ;)
Already shopping for your next vehicle?
Another company I was unaware of and another company unafraid of cameras showing their factory. I guess they aren't doing anything shoddy. Did Kait come willingly or were you forced to drag her away from there?
I may have had to pry her off one of the 4x4 rigs they had there ;)
can you tell me where the propane is located on the Ford frames and the water capcity. Thank you.
Robin - you'd have to contact Sportsmobile about that.
and I'm driving a scion xb :-) :-)
So which one are we going to be in ?🚐
Don't know yet!
So now what that the E series van is dead?
Ok, wait two minutes and he tells me!
Pretty cool......
+CrazyDaveIowa 👍
Sportsmobile offers way to many options. Would me drive crazy to choose anything
It would definitely be hard to pick things but I bet it's easier than you think.
Pretty damn fly for a white guy lol !
lol
They are ugly now ....... poor platform not reliable
Sad...... to see them not hitting the mark
while your intention are good, and the results of your company are noticeable, there were no 'hippies' in 1961,from 1968 forward, yes the term ' hippies' was relevant, check out your history, please.
Nice, would love to own any of those . from new zealand
