Shortly after I purchased my Van I removed the old SM decals and ordered a new set from SMW. Decided I liked the Van better without the decals - I can send them to you to validate your hat???

...After 50 years of Sportsmobile making a "pop-top" or Penthouse, I would have to say its the Penthouse that is different than all other conversions that were being offered (throughout the years), though, there are more and more Retailers/Converters offering a 'pop-top' of some kind...so as stated before, perfectly, now it is just a premium brand of VanRV...but go ahead and plaster that Sportsmobile name on there, trust me, nobody cares...and with that said, I drive around with a Mercedes logo on my Hyundi...it makes me feel like I am giving it to "the man"

kidding...I don't even know how to spell Hyundi for sure...

If that's the only thing that confuses you on this site, you're ahead of the game.

It's just a trademark name for the conversion they do to vehicles.



They do a lot of specialty work so it doesn't have to be a camper van
as shown on their website

I recently found myself referring to Aluminess Bumpers as Sportsmobile Bumpers. I would correct myself and then 5 minutes later call them Sportsmobile Bumpers again.
