Sportsmobile West Factory & Van Conversion Tour With Founder Alan Feld

[@edwardweiszbeck1649]

Allen is a true pioneer. He's created an industry in North America. Sarting with backwoods van camping done in the 60's with his VW van conversions. And look at the employment he provides for his skilled labourers. And seems like such a chill boss. Glad God things happen for good people. Hat off to Allen.

[@simonassouline45]

Professionalism and Passion at it’s Finest!

[@Lumencraft-]

Sounds like the owner is still as in love with the job as he was on day one. Fantastic!!!!!!!!

[@BannedPhotoshop]

agreed

[@JohnMiller-ub8dy]

Not exactly stealth like anymore

[@web3036]

he's a Salesman, I would pick a small class c anyday, that thing is like camping in a tent

[@tonyinfinity]

Yep he's into the money

[@recoveringsoul755]

@@tonyinfinity Never mentioned any kind of price range, like for just the tops, or anything else. I would have liked to see how people would sleep in the pop top

[@keeganmartin1886]

What a genuine fella. You can see how much he loves what he does.

[@PinstripeJim]

This company should be a model for other businesses that are "made in the USA". Very impressed with the products and Alan. I am glad I took the time to watch the entire video. Now, I just need to win the Lotto so I can buy a couple.

[@wildbill23c]

I agree, wow, I've heard of Sportsmobile, as well as Quigley but I think Sportsmobile would get my business based on their conversions that take a van to a whole new...umm house on wheels. Excellent company, and I was amazed when Alan pointed out all his stuff is made in California (I'm sure with parts from overseas, but someone's gotta put that stuff together somewhere). I had no idea Sportsmobile was a 50+ year old company.

[@zarghamkhan441]

Such a sham that USA had to outsource its manufacturing to China. Even people like us living in South Asia are aware of and envy the famous "American Dream".

[@coloradomountainman8659]

Uh,, made in USA?? Some of the mods are, but hate to tell ya, Mercedes is made in Germany. Refrigerator is made in China. Fabric is imported as well. Etc etc.

[@sammyso4940]

Yes, Alan has built a solid company and you can tell his team does solid work. More of our companies need to learn better work ethic.

[@johnlucier5654]

The problem is made in USA inevitably gets unions like the UAW involved, ends up like GM where something like $4000 of the cost of each car goes to paying for the medical care and pensions of long retired workers. Its great to talk about living wages etc but if everyone is living the good life on a blue collar career youre going to have products priced out of reach. As it is none of the people working for this company can afford to buy what they produce unless they want to live in it full time.0

[@MrZashiratori]

*This dude seems to be perfectly used to giving tours on camera... jeez.. professionalism at it's finest...*

[@StellarFella]

This is the most informative and entertaining video I've ever seen on this topic. What makes this video work so splendidly is that the owner was super articulate, super organized, and he was allowed to put several cogent points together successively WITHOUT being peppered with obnoxious comments and questions all along the way. A very well done video and so full of information you have to watch it over and over again while taking notes.

[@BoutenkoFilms]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@stockischeap7328]

I agree with Cecil . Well done indeed!

[@RamblinAround]

Very impressed with Alan, he sure knows his business from top to bottom. The facility looks top notch as well.

[@jas_bataille]

As someone working in a high-end manual assembly line - although in a completely different domain, I work for Totem Acoustic in audio - I just want to give a quick shout-out to the all the workers and also to explain the price on those things... a lot of people say that it's "unjustified" to price those around 100k. If it was unjustified, then they would've been out of business a long time ago! Yes, those are expensive. But, they're all hand-built, made in the USA by skilled craftsmen and craftswomen. Please take into account that 90%+ companies in just about all domains - especially in the automotive industry - have some sort of semi or fully automated production lines. And even when it says that they're products are "handmade", it usually means they hire employees to replace robots that cost too much upfront and automate everything else. Those skills take years to build and as such, command respect and a good salary. There is a reason for why high-end, truly hand-assembled products command such a high price, and that reason is, unfortunately, real hand-assembling and building processes are a *luxury*. Those vehicles are for people who want and can afford, the very best. They are also houses on wheels that can go off-road, offer more space than just any other converted van because of the pop-up top, and are completely stealthy when wanted compared to RVs. So it's an investment for full-time van lifers/digital nomads whose business depends on the capacity to move with as little hassle as possible from one point to another, constantly, with perfect reliability. A DIY van will never give you the reliability of a vehicle converted by experienced craftmen in a great facility, period. And the investment is (still) much less than a house... you DO get what you pay for.

[@colliecoform6238]

Agreed. And that type of 4wheel drive conversion is not cheap and not a DIY.

[@sovalouX]

I want to disagree that this can't be done by a DIY individual. It would only take more time

[@mwilliamshs]

That 4wd system is in fact possible to DIY. Ujoint Offroad is a company that makes kits for exactly that.

[@captainz4137]

Having been in the military over two decades, then with the airline almost as much time, and travel around the world, I would like to say that there is nothing like American Craftsmanship. That is why anything american is in such demand in foreign countries.

[@captainz4137]

There's nothing like true American Craftsmanship..-.-. It is tremendously appreciated by people from other countries. IE: in Siria, a family STATUS is measured by the brand of refrigerator the have. Usually it is not placed in the kitchen like we do in the USA, but in the living room so people that visit, can see i, and admire it. Whirlpool is one brand that is at the top of the list. Crazy right?

[@deedeew4040]

Alan Feld is amazing to me. He knows exactly what is going on within his business. You feel the excitement in his voice. I really enjoyed this video.

[@terrencemoore3313]

This video makes me feel great. I thought I was weird for wanting a vehicle like this yet they are on back order for over a year and have so many layouts you are sure to find one you like. Thanks for the video. If they do tours for regular people I am going to put it on my bucket list and get sportsmobile right from the factory.

[@barrygalbraith1836]

I watched your video 5 mins ago, very informative with some great ideas. Keep up the great work so we can keep watching , thank you.

Great tour where I gained a new appreciation for Sportsmobile. Alan Feld is an amazing source of wisdom

[@mixflip]

I toured their factory a few months ago....loved every second of it.

[@Wanakamura]

So, for me most inspiring was that Alan know exactly how each van is configured during the tour. As he said there are at least 100 of them. So kudos of him and all crew.

[@hikeabovethetreeline7303]

Very Cool to get an inside tour of the Sportmobile factory. looking forward to seeing your Van boom documentary.

[@judil3294]

[@jiplix]

That was a quick 35 minuets and very interesting, informative & inspiring. Could have watched more.

[@stanw909]

That is hands down the best tour video of Sportsmobile ever . Mr. Feld has a genuine love for his product and the van lifestyle . My last van was a Sportsmobile poptop roof only van with the cabinets built by some cabinet maker and was a lot of fun . The penthouse (oddly not referenced in those terms here ) was a great place to sleep . Unfortunately my wife couldn't sleep there due to health issues so I bought a van motorhome and sold the van to two Australian kids who travelled North America in it for a year , put 25,000 miles on it and sold it before they left back to Australia .

[@albertdesalvo7273]

Alan oozes professionalism and his setup is top notch. As for Kiley, she has one helluva figure!

[@Drivethisnotthat]

I met Alan at a Sprinter event in Colorado. He is humble and amazing. So impressed.

[@kennethricher45]

Great setup. Keeping everything in house alone allows them to offer so many many different services as well as control of costs. Good work. You’ve built an amazing company and I have a feeling your only going to get better and bigger.

[@markshaw7947]

One of the best, informative videos I have ever seen and I have seen a lot haha. OMG I am blown away by the dreams come true through the efforts and insight of this company and the people who work there. I wish my budget for this type of lifestyle matched my inspiration for the same. Keep on making videos and thanks for the epic tour !!!

The knowledge and history shared by Alan Feld was amazing. Building quality really does pay for itself. Thank you.

[@stevewoods755]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! I turned 55 last August and hope to buy in 6 to 10 years. Was first leaning towards a class C and AFTER YOUR VIDEO ( among others) HAVE DECIDED ON one of your vans. QUESTION? Please anyone comment, will there be a hybrid Sprinters by then??? Chrysler already has a minivan. 80 MPG sounds so much better than 25. And then add lots of solar, travel will be much cheaper.

[@stevenwallace5990]

Unbelievable what you can do to a van and actually live in it full time....I love the Ford cut away it looks factory and you gain 4"inch's inside......the workmanship is above and beyond anything else I have ever seen......just outstanding

[@CaptRich-bi3gp]

It's cool to know that a man who can most likely afford the stay at a Hyatt or Hilton still stealth camps; that's badass! Thank you for doing this tour!!!

[@Lmnop913]

Wow! I’m floored. It makes so much sense to vanlife. Even highway patrol, doctors, nurses, technicians etc see how practical it is. Amazing. GREAT VIDEO. I loved it. I’m subscribing.

[@desertlogic222]

Alan seems like such a cool dude. I dig the quality of his workmanship. I just can t justify 100k for a 4x4 van. I'd personally go with a 4wheel camper on a 3/4 ton. Obviously there is a market for his products when you have a 14 mo wait time. Kudos to Sportsmobile.

[@Copper.Cowboy]

When you add up everything and the quality that’s going into one I could see 100k being a fair price. I’d like to take my excursion there and have a pop top installed.

[@wildbill23c]

That would be an awesome conversion, probably not cheap, but the pop top will probably still be around after the poor excursion has died :(. When Ford released the Excursion I initially was like who on earth would drive a bus around town...many people apparently, and many more would do the same if Ford still sold them, they're not cheap, but Ford's version of the Chevy Suburban only slightly larger....I want to find one with the 7.3L Diesel someday when I'm rich LOL.

[@Copper.Cowboy]

@@wildbill23c might sell mine. We love to camp and my wife wants to camp in the middle of nowhere. But my wife doesn't like the excursion. She said the D word to me once (divorce) and I went and bought my 01 excursion 7.3. So she resents it and complains it's too loud, rough ride. So I'm hoping she will change her mind. For now I just plan to put a lift on it. I put an S&B intake, toner, and 4" exhaust. That's all I'll do as far as performance besides a 6.0 trans radiator.

[@PumaPete]

I’ve been looking at RVs now for a while. I started to really like these vans until I saw the price for one! I would rather have a 4X4 super duty with a slide in camper. I can put the camper on jacks and have the truck by itself or I can leave it on the truck and have a 4 wheel drive camper. The price for these vans is outrageous. There are either a ton of people with money to burn or a ton of people who think nothing of going into debt for a depreciating asset. With a slide in camper the vehicle can be replaced when it gets old. With a van you’re stuck with the same worn out vehicle after ten or 15 years.

[@bradleydavidj]

One of the best presented and most informative videos I have seen. Very human and friendly presenter.

I have now watched this 3 times since it was made...I found it very interesting and continue to get new ideas every time I watch it.

[@dlg5485]

Great video! I actually didn't know SMB did some of their 4x4 conversions in house. I always assumed Quigley or some other outfit did them all. The 4x4 system on that Econoline cutaway is the real deal! I would like to have heard more info about their systems, including battery/solar types and amounts offered, what types of heating and hot water systems they offer, fresh/grey/black tank capacities, etc. I'm seriously considering buying a SMB conversion in a few years for my retirement adventure vehicle. I appreciate the fact that they do fully customized builds, so you can have it exactly as you want it, and they're also not hugely overpriced, like most class B vans. I have read a few negative reviews of their build quality, but it seems to be a pretty solid operation.

[@wildbill23c]

I agree, the cut-away Econoline information could have gone on longer, I'd like to hear more about that setup as well...10 forward speeds...well OK, typical new Ford...cough....cough...but how's the RWD, FWD, 4WD setup work in that thing if you can chose which mode to run in, that sounds interesting and would love to see that in person.

[@badgerpa9]

@@wildbill23c rent one of them and you can see it in person. It is just how the transfercase is setup.

[@wildbill23c]

[@stephenpowstinger733]

Nice to know American craftsmanship is still alive and it can work in California, the land of regulation and unions. These babies have got to be pricey. Some units are rich man's toys but, as he says, many are working vehicles of some sort. There doesn't appear to be models, just custom designs. His final remarks cover the use of these as living units in the the otherwise unaffordable West Coast. As a far away Easterner, there looks to be a war going on for control of the streets. Nice tour and thanks to the girl for playing the customer.

Wow...what a first class operation! If money was no object, and you have the time to wait for delivery, this is definitely the place to go. 14 months backlog!...no wonder the used market for these are so tight. One question though...I was surprised they used denim insulation. I thought denim can absorb moisture which will lead to mold, mildew and rust behind the walls. Unless someone can tell me different, I would prefer some other type of insulation.

[@brad4908]

Right about the denim. Unless they’ve found a way to treat it to stop the mold, or a super air ventilation system.

[@dlg5485]

Agreed. I would avoid denim insulation altogether. Given the custom nature of the SMB brand, I'm sure they'll use whatever insulating material you choose...for an additional cost, of course.

[@skapunkoialternativeliving6522]

David Golembeski obviously you don't know how to make anything by yourself the other vehicle does look good you can do that yourself for fun that's the money I did it you can do it too

[@shiitakestick]

did i not hear him say the denim only covered the actual insulation ?

[@David-rx2to]

I believe denim insulation is just what it sounds like...recycled cotton blue jeans...they might add some other materials to get it to bind together, (don't know for sure) but essentially it is cotton, so no, it isn't a layer of denim over some other type of insulation.

[@Captndarty]

So 1” + 1” = 4”s? Hmmm 🤔

[@norsefalconer]

Captndarty I caught that too. I think they build the walls differently than factory Ford. Looks like there are far fewer (but probably stronger) vertical supports. So, they gain the extra 2" between those supports is my guess.

[@zmjung]

I think he meant 1" in all four directions

[@hottlimited]

Captndarty that's Chinese math !

[@bitsnpieces11]

I think they may build the outside 1" more on both sides and make the pillars 1" narrower on the inside by making them stronger, that would give 4" more room on the inside.

[@moosedrummer1]

No it’s because of the inner bracing. Extends it 1” on each side and the bracing is 1” thinner as well. 4”. He just didn’t go into details.
