Fifteen year anniversary
Fifteen years ago today I picked up my Sportsmobile camper van from the factory in Fresno, California. It's been a lot of fun roaming around in it, and it sure has made life easy to camp where ever I feel like parking it. It's been an expensive pain in the ass when it breaks, but after it's fixed I just want to hit the road and go explore once again.

That's an awesome time with a Sportsmobile, and a lot of great memories I'm sure.
Congratulations!

Fun collage. Serves as inspiration for the rest of us to witness a true tenured Sportsmobile owner.
We are certainly planning on holding on to ours - best "Toy" we've owned, only regret is we didn't discover these earlier in our lives.
***Here's wishing you 15 more fun filled years with yours Railvan !!!

That's a great looking rig. Are those the rock sliders from Weldtec?

Not rock sliders, just extruded aluminum steps, or Audible Clearance Guides as I call them. They flex when I step on them. Won't hold the van up at all!
