Finally found someone with a similar design to what I have in my head for our next project! Absolutely love it! They did a great job on the van and I’ll be contacting them to see about getting that aluminum bed frame for the van I’m flying out to get this week.

Good luck with your van and building it out! We're still thrilled with all the work that Wasatch did.

How much of a lift does your van have and also what size tires…32, 35?

@catherine_bailey 3 ай бұрын

I believe it's a 5" lift (conversion and lift were done by Sportsmobile before we purchased it), and I believe the tires are 35's. They rub a bit on the front. I've got a little more info on the set up in the earlier walk through of the van.

Great van tour. You made no mention of the driver and passenger seats. Not original Ford are they? Look like Stromberg seats?

@catherine_bailey Жыл бұрын

Ah...the seats! Good catch, this video got too long, so I chopped out a lot. The seats are Scheel-man seats, and they are a game changer, I like them better than the seats in my Volvo which I thought could not be beat. We put them in a few months before we got the interior done, so we've spent some miles in them and while they the price seems insane for seats when we purchased them they make a huge difference. Here's a video with some more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f52ciayoo7OYoas

Love the upholstery, that turned out amazing. We have a 2001 E350 Sportsmobile with the 7.3 and RB50 layout. We cram two adults and 3 kids in it, for now. 😆 Love it but the interior needs an overhaul soon, thanks for the inspiration. 👍

@catherine_bailey Жыл бұрын

That's impressive to fit 5! The RB 50 layout is the best for sleeping more than 2 I think. We used to have a Eurovan years ago, smaller, but the same concept for the layout, it's a good one . 22 years is good lifespan for a SMB interior. The ones we've had before were well built, but some of the materials just don't age well ; (

@Kristian_Saile Жыл бұрын

@@catherine_bailey thankfully two of them can sleep sideways in the penthouse top so that’s the magic to make it work. We are going to have to get creative soon though. The materials they used were pretty terrible then for cabinets so it’s definitely looking a little rough around the edges.

@alexmcgreen1664 Жыл бұрын

i would say that you are really looking for a rc van and not a overlander van because of your build of the 5 van so just check first some builds and dont ask for a stupid compagny to do the design for you i know you can build it yourself and at the end you know where everything is and goes and the build would be 100% from you and more satisfying as you travel with it. the big problem with those big overlander van compagnies is that they think that you need everything ! and this is wrong, what you need is a van that can go offraod, a place to sleep, a place of storage, and a place to cook and maybe be comfortable inside but your in a van its going to be comfortable, and create something for the outside too, like a 180 degree turp that goes almost all around anyway your know what you want so ust build the stuff that you can build and the most complicated stuff give it to someone that is competent

@catherine_bailey Жыл бұрын

I do agree that it's it's best to keep it simple. Though every has a different idea of what that is. We've got a wonderful small shop with much better skills than I have that worked on the van and they built exactly what I designed. It's satisfying when you can find good people to work with.

Well done video. Nice that you were able to enjoy all of those vans! I wish I had a van but I am thankful for what I do have on my SSI budget! It's a 2000 GMC short bed, sport side which I've had for 20 years with 265,000 miles. A couple of years ago I found the 30 year old slide in pop up Scamper for $1,700. Have two small lithium power stations, a solar panel and a chest type fridge. The original fridge is an Ice Box!

@catherine_bailey Жыл бұрын

I love it! Those Scamper pop-ups are cool, while it's fun to obsess and iterate on the "perfect" camping gear and rig getting out there and camping is where it's at, and you'll spend a lot less $$ if you're out camping rather than having your truck in the shop working on the next modification ; )

Can't believe yall got 37s on there! I was under the impression there was no way to achieve that on a sportsmobile!

I believe Sportsmobile put these tires on when they did the 4x4 mod., since we got it after it was auctioned off by the insurance company we are still trying to figure out some details on the build!

I wanted to follow up, I just discovered these are not 37's! You are right, at least on this version you could not get 37's to work. These are actually 35's.

@catherine_bailey Жыл бұрын

Thanks! and yes, we've been in a fortunate position, but also had good luck/timing and I think made some good decisions. We bought Van#2 new, it was basically an RV and so you can get great financing, we had a good down payment, and at that time there seemed to be an excess of them. We paid a lot of it off and then Van #3 was about 20K less expensive, so we were able to purchase that without financing. Then we made money selling that one! We invested all that into the more expensive Sportsmobile build, yet the overall price of that build was way less than what they cost today. We've also skimped on some parts of the initial build and then kept building it out when we could afford it, and we sold that van while it had an amazing resale value (more than the initial build). None the less it's a lot of $$ and time to do these projects, but I love the the process and the camping....
