For Sale: 2005 Sportsmobile 4x4 - New 6.0L Turbo Diesel
*Located in Central Coast of California*
*Tons of upgrades + maintenance records available*
*\~25,000 miles on NEW Ford diesel engine (chassis has 150,000 mi)*
---
This is a 2005 Sportsmobile RB50 factory conversion from Sportsmobile West (now Field Van). It's a true CA van—never left the state—and I’m the second owner. I bought it directly from the original owner, who provided full maintenance records and over **\$200K in receipts**.
Since then, I’ve done extensive work, both mechanical and cosmetic. When I first purchased it, I had Field Van do a complete inspection—anything they flagged was addressed. The van is in great shape with only minor cosmetic wear and everything working as it should.
