The following is a letter we received from Mr. Bradley seven months after he took delivery.

Paul,
I thought I'd drop you a short note to say hello and let you know that I love my Sportsmobile more every time we use it, which is a lot! It has made such a difference to my wife and me to be able to go virtually anywhere we want. You're still the best game in the country! It does take us care givers awhile to sort through all the options so it's a long process for them.

Sincerely,
Parris Bradley

—Customized for
Mr. & Mrs. Bradley


This owner included a trifold lift, hand controls and a manual swivel front seat. The interior was designed for easy maneuvering of chair and transfer to dinette/bed.

The rear has a three-burner stove and oven, 4 CF refrigerator, Porta Potti, under-floor storage and lots of cabinet storage.


This scooter lift will lift all standard-size electric scooters. There's a 110 and 12 volt outlet for charging the scooter's battery. Most owners have the lift installed on the right side, as the van's right rear door opens first. The floor and rear sides are covered with very durable marine deck vinyl. Note Sportsmobile installs scooter lifts.


Another example with galley in the rear. The bath compartment, closet and additional storage cabinet are also in the rear for this EB Sprinter.


Mobility equipment: Braun trifold lift, remote control, outside control, power sliding door, hand controls and chair lock-down.

The rear storage is convenient wheelchair height. The platform bed is removable. Large awning windows provide good visibility.

The bed height makes transfer easy between the bed and chair. Floor space is wheelchair adequate. Floor covering is tough marine vinyl.

Convenience for the owner was a first priority in design. The refrigerator is at a good height. Three large drawers are well located. All light and control switches are lowered.


RB (Regular Body) Sprinter

The floor plan for Mr. and Mrs. LaSalle was designed for the possibility of adding mobility equipment later.

A 200 amp auxiliary battery system and a 2000 watt inverter were included. The inverter will convert 12V to 110V to power the 110V microwave and 110V medical equipment.

Abundant storage is built in on the passenger side. A complete galley is on the opposite side.

The Maine toilet can be any height. The privacy curtain swings around. A cab curtain was also included.

The platform bed is 48" x 67" and can be made to be removable. The closed door can also provide rear privacy.


Here's a rear lift.
