Re: Family with 3 little kiddos in Sportsmobile?
I have a regular car seat in the middle with two boosters on either side in my regular 3 person crew bench. I did shop for a narrow car seat that was a little more expensive than the Walmart stuff...

Re: Family with 3 little kiddos in Sportsmobile?
TBUNCH

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
The thought of rigid overhead cabinets gives me a headache but camping with a family of 5 in a Sprinter with penthouse is a constant struggle to keep organized.

Re: Desperation or Trickery? Either way pathetic
When I picked up my 2WD Sprinter with penthouse from SMB West, it had "Sportsmobile" stickers on it. I did not request the stickers. Seems to me that if it was good enough for the factory, I...
