Looks like a decent one, and for $3500. Not mine, no affiliation.

I'm new to Sportsmobile traveling/camping. Any advice as I think about making an offer on this one?

Thanks, Gary

and another one sold.....I would have bought it if closer to me....just for the heck of it.

I bought it. Looked like it would be a good vehicle to own; but it's the first of it's kind for me. Will have it shipped to my home in Virginia.

Congrats! Why not just drive it home? Not that far from Indiana to Virginia. That's part of the fun! I flew down to NC from Philadelphia to drive my new (used) SMB home.

You could even make a pilgrimage to SMB Indiana en route.

Thought about driving it home, but not in the cards. Any recommended sources of info on how best to maintain these vans?

Congratulations. Welcome to the group. Mine is an 89 and has been fun to drive and camp in.

When I got mine I researched the components on he web and found most of the operation manuals.

Excellent.

Any suggestions on a good source for a replacement rear bumper? Original bumper is rusted-out.
