Trip to Sportsmobile Austin

I am back in Texas tomorrow and moving into an apartment for a few months.
I am just down the road from Sportsmobile. I want to stop in and talk to them about building a class B sprinter style van.

I don't think I will have them do it because the waiting list is about a year long.
BUT.... I want to ask some questions so I have some ideas when I go talk to the company that I am going to have do it.

I have alot of research to do but I thought I would ask here as well about anything that is super important with respect to the quality of the interior build.... cabinets, insulation floor, roof and walls etc...

I don't know anything about custom builds and I want to try to get as educated as I can about what needs to be done for a quality build on a van.

if you have suggestions.... please tell me. I'd appreciate the help.
I am not going to do anything till I have a good understanding of what needs to be done.

thanks

  • We had a 2006 Sprinter from Sportsmobile. We replaced it after 10 years and 110,000 miles. They make a quality product at a very reasonable price.

    I suggest first going to their very extensive website to get an idea of how you can design your own van. You put in the options you want and can come up with a fairly accurate price.

    For custom built vans, a waiting list of a year is pretty normal.
