Looking for a Sportsmobile

I'm looking for a Sportsmobile, would like 4x4 RB 50 or EB 50. Perhaps with less bells and wistles, and less money (on a budget- looking to spend about 50-60). Anyone got one they want to sell?

There seem to be quite a few used ones listed in that price range in Pre-Owned section of the Sportsmobile site.

That's nice. Would you mind explaining the logic behind that search?

Re: Looking for a Sportsmobile

search term(s) site: domain to search

I find it works eratically at best. It is the same as using "all these words:" and "Search within a site or domain:" from googles advanced search.

For craigslist something like searchtempest.com (used to be CraigsHelper.com) works great because you can put distance from zipcode in as well as other options to help search through all the craigslist possiblities.

Re: Looking for a Sportsmobile

Consider buying a used rig in good structural and mechanical shape

Then do your own build out

Example:

Used $20k rig

Build out: SMB about $30k including top

Total @ $50k

I found a used SMB for $20k
I am doing a full build out, solar, custom interior etc
My total build out will be @ 55k including the $20k for the rig

It is VERY time consuming to research products, materials, models etc
Then to find the "real" prices, is a challange

However, i will wind up with a Full Custom rig for Me and Mrs. Wilson and Cooper the Dog
Our floor plan
Our mods build in
TONS of trick stuff
Real wood cabinets
and when we are done a MINIMUM of tinkering to get on the road

JMHO

Re: Looking for a Sportsmobile

If you want to build your own, or have SMB convert a van, here is a 2005 diesel cargo van that just came up on eBay:

$9800 or make offer.

http://www.statewidelist.com is also a really easy craigslist search engine. Searches CL by state and gives ebay results if you are interested in that. Good luck!
