Howdy from NorCal,
I've lurked around on this site for quite awhile reading and learning and I finally decided to register and ask some questions.
I've been enamored with Sportsmobiles for many years as I see them regularly driving around on the roads. Just been too busy putting kids through school etc to be able to afford one. I figured that I'd wait until retirement to actually commit to buying one. Due to some changes in life's circumstances I reevaluated my position and decided to jump into the deep end. I still can't afford a new one so I'm looking at used and/or building my own.
Thanks to all the wonderful information here and on Expedition Portal I'm at least at the stage of asking (hopefully) the right questions.
My goals are are to have a easy to drive on the road vehicle but the ability to go off road to get to some good camp sites. Not rock crawling or serious off road but perhaps up some not so great dirt roads. I'm 6' 3" so I think that's going to limit me to a extended bed and a pop top. I've always liked the Transformer style over the full RV as I will be using this a daily driver.
Thanks for letting me join and you'll be hearing more from me.
