Hey sportsmobilers, new guy here looking to get into RVs that can travel off of the beaten path! I don't own a sportsmobile yet however I'm definitely looking into one as it seems to be the most capable off-road vehicle with all the amenities that you'd typically find in a full sized RV!

Welcome. Sportsmobiles and the like (Colorado Camper Van, home brew and others) are great rigs for traveling in the far country. Do you have a budget? Check you local craigslist, auto trader, eBay, and the for sale section of the forum to get an idea of pricing.

You've come to the right place - lot of useful information on this Forum along with volumes of knowledge.
If your actively looking, might check out RV Trader. Been trying to help a friend locate his "dream rig" and they had a couple that looked clean and reasonably priced, but thats subjective & inspection would be prudent.

Welcome.

As others have said, lots of info available here, and lots of options depending depending on needs and budget.

Fam Vans

Check out Fam Vans if you are in the SoCal area. They are in Fountain Valley by the 405 and 55 interchange. I got a 2007 e350 extnded with less than 50k miles for 14 grand. Wheel and deal a bit. They have LOTS of inventory and a pretty decent website to browse. AGILE Offroad in the San Diego area by the Aluminess (bumpers ladders racks) factory is a good resource for 4x4 also. Good luck!
