Financing & RV Insurance
Financing
Sportsmobile offers Recreational Vehicle financing for both the Van and Sportsmobile Conversion. Only Sportsmobile TX offers financing for pre-owned Sportsmobiles.
New and Pre-Owned
RV financing offers advantages over traditional auto financing — longer loan length, ability to deduct interest on personal income tax, (Check with your accountant.) and no penalty for early payoff. Terms depend on customer’s personal credit history.
All of the van chassis manufacturers offer financing for the van only they will loan up to 110% MSRP. We buy the vans at discounted price, an average of $2,500 over van cost, which is available to our customers to apply towards thier Sportsmobile conversion. The balance on the conversion cannot be financed and is due when you take delivery of your Sportsmobile.

“Nearly 4 years later, I am still delighted every day with the amazing Sportsmobile you built for me! It’s like going to be happy when first purchasing. It’s an entirely different thing to be still ‘grinning ear to ear’ so far down the road. It is a true testament to what an excellent vehicle you created.”
—John Markman
Motorhome Insurance
Motor-home or RV insurance rates are often much less than car rates. Not all insurance companies offer RV insurance, but the ones that do can save you money, plus better advise you on coverage. If the Sportsmobile will be your only vehicle, this will not apply. What are the requirements for a conversion to be classified as an RV? Please see “What Is A Sportsmobile” under Miscellaneous Info below.
RV Interest Deduction?
Interest may be deductible from your federal income tax return as a second home (motorhome). Consult with your accountant.
Van Rebates
Consumer van rebates frequently change. There are periods when there are no rebates. If your van qualifies, you will receive it.
Pre-Owned Sportsmobiles are available. See above regarding financing.
