About Sportsmobile

Sportsmobile has been converting vans since 1961, which makes it older than the entire category it now sits in. Its pop-top roof is the design most other pop-tops are measured against.

Long history with 4x4 conversions on Ford chassis in particular, and one of very few builders that will still work on older E-Series vans.

What they build on

  • Ford Transit

    AWD available, the largest US service network, and an extended-length high-roof option that suits family layouts.

  • Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

    The default premium platform. Factory 4x4/AWD, tall interior, and the only chassis with a formal Mercedes upfitter program.

  • Ford E-Series

  • Ram ProMaster

    Front-wheel drive and the widest body of the three, which makes a crosswise bed possible without a flare. The value pick.

What they'll take on

  • Full custom builds

    Designed from scratch around your layout. Longest lead times, highest cost.

  • Semi-custom floorplans

    A fixed set of proven layouts with options. Faster and cheaper than full custom.

  • Service & repair

    Will work on vans they did not build. Rarer than you would expect.

Capabilities

  • 4x4 / AWD
  • Pop-top roof
  • Off-grid power
  • Four-season
  • Sleeps four or more
