Custom wheels, ladder, awning, Penthouse Top and continental tire carrier are options.
Penthouse Top (O) provides a spacious interior. The wood floor is an option.
To make the bed, the seat cushion slides out on steel roller tracks. Back cushion then drops into place. Note that the side wall is recessed for more bed width. There's leg space between the bed and galley.
Chevy cab is large with large windows and attractive dash.
Gaucho can be any length. Back cushion is removable. Seat cushion hinges up for storage access.
Penthouse Top shown down for travel. The Penthouse bed can slide to the front or rear for sleeping. When the top is up the bed attaches to the ceiling — still leaving a 6'4" stand-up height.
The rear cabinet shelves are removable for a hanging closet. Table stows in the rear with this plan.
Porta Potti (O) stores in the rear. An underfloor storage compartment (O) was included.
"It was really an enjoyable experience planning our Sportsmobile."
—Roger and Jean

"When I lived in Spain, I saw Sportsmobile on the Internet. That's when I decided I wanted one for my family. We now live in the United States and are very pleased owners of a Sportsmobile 4x4."
— Carlos and family
Dinette W converts into a bed to sleep widthwise with van. Measures 49" wide x 74" long with the side walls recessed. The refrigerator and closet are on the right side. TV will swivel for viewing from the front.
Toilet compartment (right photo) is to the rear of the galley. Lots of owners delete the stove and propane system and order a microwave with an inverter so it can be used when a 110V hookup is not available.
This toilet compartment with the Marine toilet is narrower than usual. Notice how the door will also serve as a privacy partition.
A shower wand can be located in the rear seat base, or in the side of the van.

Note: Cruiser Fixed Tops no longer available.
"I will travel extensively for pleasure and business throughout the United States in my new home on wheels. I might mention that the Sportsmobile people were most pleasant to work with in planning my interior." — B.J. Buntz
Ford galleys are usually 28" high. B.J.'s galley is 40". A microwave is on the opposite side.
B.J. wanted lots and lots of cabinets as you can see. The vents in the cabinet top are for the Danhard 110V A/C.
Third and fourth Captain's seats are removable.
Ceiling-high cabinets extend to the rear on both sides.
The shower pan shown is our smallest, 24" x 24". Larger sizes are available. The Porta Potti is a separate option.
The upstairs bed has lots of room. Height above the bed is 24". Note there is no downstairs bed.
Bed sections stack over the van's cab and are removable.
Easy to load and unload
Example - EB
Don and Jean Frederick chose a Ford 4x4 with the Voyager fixed top to design their interior.
The galley includes a sink cabinet and two storage cabinet C's. The solid surface counter top is (O). Stove and propane system were deleted. Under-shelf cabinet includes two halogen lights with a dimmer.
Viewed from the rear, the first small cabinet is the end-cabinet. The next cabinet is "Cabinet H" made full height to the ceiling. It has a 4CF refrigerator, microwave and Danhard A/C in the top portion. A slide-out pantry cabinet is next, and a combo bath is in back of the driver's seat. These two front cabinets also could have been full height.

"Happy? Yes. In minutes I'm all set up."
— Dianne Clemens
Dianne will often use her Sportsmobile to pull a horse trailer for camping/trail rides. Her requirements were self containment and open space in the rear for a large dog crate. A Danhard A/C was ordered in place of the less expensive Roof Mount A/C to keep her exterior height lower.
Miscellaneous Examples & Ideas
Slide pantry serves as a semi-partition.
Marine Toilet is in the rear. For privacy add a partition or curtain.
A rear bed can be supported by various support platforms. See Sprinter Bunks & Platform Beds page for more info.
This platform has two hinge-up doors. The top is covered with marine deck vinyl for cargo when the bed is removed.
The above cabinet front hinges up for a table. Swivel the front seats for a snack or work table.
Some owners leave open space in the rear for cargo. We can locate tie-downs and bungee cords any place you desire.
