    Default New Sportsmobile

    We've been in the process of getting our Sportsmobile and selling off the old RV setup. Finally got some pictures worth posting so I figured I'd get a thread going as it goes along.

    Cool! And welcome to ExPo!
    I liked the Sportsmobile article in the recent issue of Overland Journal.
    Should be fun to watch your vehicle take shape...

    I'm not sure what they're using for the walls, but the cabinets were they typical hardboard you normally see and seemed to be very stout...

    The van is supposed to go to the cabinet installation in the next few days, then off to the 4X4 conversion.

    Not really, I know they put allot of work into those vans, and I know how hard it is being in the aftermarket when everyone & their brother thinks they can do everything cheaper or better. I just want to know the material because I'd like something similar for my rig.
