Hi from Pennsylvania with a request for advice on where to start...

[ctb]

If you get to the Philly area and want to look at a Sportsmobile, drop me a line. Ours is nothing special, a 2WD EB with PH top, but maybe it would give you some build ideas. We added a third captain’s seat when we bought it.

BW....IT'S SPECIAL TOO!!! It's a SMB with a Penthouse Top!!...STILL better than any other camper out there! I am sure you are the envy of your neighborhood lol!!

Congrats! Now you're in the game. Just keep in mind the struggle you'll more than likely endure trying to prioritize what you CAN or WANT to do will only make you a better Man!
