  • Growing up, I idolized the 4x4 Ford Sportsmobile. It was awesome to be able to tour the new 4x4 Classic!
    Also, just to clear things up, I do not and have not ever made money from manufacturers to feature rigs. I post rigs because I hope you will enjoy them. I hope you enjoy this one.

    That‘s a great van, with a great style.For me, this looks perfect for weekend trips. I would miss a toilet and a shower for longer trips and therefore I‘m converting a Skoolie. So thumbs up 👍👍

      He said it has a porta potty that pulls out (with its own individual water source) and an outside shower (hot and cold water) that pulls out and has a curtain that wraps around...So, you would be covered!

    Sweet ! I knew Sportsmobile was going to come up with some new ideas. After they stopped making the iconic Econoline in reality the fiberglass shell may be a better idea than the old factory metal vans ? I guess there are always pros and cons to it all I know that there are a couple of companies online that specialize in selling cutaways 4wd Ambulances with out the box is that something Sportsmobile would Work on or are they like Quigley. Who only does new vehicles just curious my Uncle did a Ford Quigley conversion to haul a camper back and forth to Alaska I actually like yours better as far as Stance and over all appearance as in reality my Uncle never really finished his as far as accessories etc in his defense he kept it simple for hauling Deer or whatever else he would hunt he had Quigley install their carpeted liners on the walls and head liner with insulation and a rubber floor mat then he did install a bench seat with seat belts for passengers but your couch/bed is a better idea IMO

    Sportsmobile...Many years of 'Overland' experience..That Van is Amazing!!! i Realize the Sprinter has become quite 'popular' as well! Just a question though ..would The Company consider doing a 'PoP-Up'...configuration for the Smaller Metris 136WB Cargo Van in the Future ( would be Nice to Stand Up 'Straight' in the Van...)!???... Would be nice if they had a 4x4 'Option' on the Metris as well!.....I'm just the occasional 'Weekend Warrior'...& i believe the Metris would be 'Perfect' for a lot of 'Campers'. ( use it for their 'Daily Driver' too...). Cheers Canada.

    The camper does have some features but for the size it’s not really though out that good. The toilet appears to be lacking a real home. Overall I would give this a Doug score of 35 out 100. But for beer storage you get a 10 out of 10.

    Love the concept. Hate the design. Gas engine. No diesel. What does it get; 4 mpg?
    You folks at SPORTSMOBILE need to hire Andrew St.Pierre-White to design you a rig that will actually work. Look up 4xoverland. Check out his build on his Landcruiser. Much smaller vehicle with much better use of space.
    The SPORTSMOBILE shown in this video is a joke compared to Andrew's Troopy.
    As a matter of fact everything coming out of Australia and South Africa, if it were available in the U.S., would put everybody making campers, and touring vehicles in the U.S. out of business overnight. Get with the program, guys.
