Re: How did you hear about Sportsmobile Forum?
The forum came up in a Google search. I don't remember for what specifically, but I was exploring 4x4 van conversions, starting from a state of almost complete ignorance.
I've since ordered a rather bare-bones 4x4 SMB (Ford Quigley RB with separate passenger/cargo areas, electrical only no other systems, electric penthouse top, diamond tread plate roof rack). We aren't really campers - we were more looking for an SUV with a few camper-like features for day trips, tailgating-ish stuff, going to triathlons and other outdoor events, protecting some pretty expensive gear on the road to those events, etc. I used to own a slide-in Lance, which we used more as a super-SUV than a camper. Very occasionally when the choice is between a flea-bitten motel and the van, we'll crash in the van for the night. But the penthouse will get more use as a daytime nap/private area, foul weather photography platform, etc. The tread plate roof rack will be a penthouse-top-down upper patio in good weather, as much as a place to carry stuff.
This forum has been (and will continue to be) very educational. Many thanks.
