Because of my recent visit to SMB Fresno where I took a tour and an interest in the new Classic 4x4, I wanted to start a thread that would collect all the forum input under the van's official name. It seems interest is rising as the prototypes are hitting the road and I'd like to see and hear forum members' thoughts/ pics on this thing.
So here's a collection of threads from the recent past about "The Beast" and a few pictures I took while I was in Fresno. Feel free to add any and all intel about this emerging vehicle, thoughts and pics welcome.
Here's the link to the SMB page:
Sportsmobile Custom Camper Vans - 4WD (4 Wheel Drive, 4x4)
Here's a current discussion about what folks think about it:

And here Are my photos from my April 2017 visit. I was impressed with the build and with SMB's continued commitment to those who prefer a Ford over other offerings. The price is sure to be high, but that seems to be the way of it anyway. The prototype i saw in the pic below was all decked out on the outside and the walls, etc, were finished inside. They were in the process of fitting out the interior camping equipment and seating. It was a beauty and I would have loved to have driven away in the thing.
