Who Supplies the Van?
You have three options when ordering the basic van.
Where Can I Get Service?
Any authorized Ford or Chevy/GM dealer can service the van. Selected Dodge Sprinter and Freightliner dealers can service this van. We use only the best quality, name-brand appliances, so any RV service center can take care of a problem. We list the 800 numbers of our appliance manufacturers in our owners manual. And of course, any of our three plants can also service your Sportsmobile.
Should you ever need our help for any reason, you can call us on our 800 number. We’ll strive to remedy the problem to your satisfaction, immediately. Should you ever need a replacement part fast, we’ll ship it overnight at our expense.
Sportsmobile's Warranty?
Sportsmobile’s limited warranty is the best in the RV industry — 50 months or 50,000 miles. All of our tops are warranted to be leak proof for as long as you own your Sportsmobile. Appliances, such as the refrigerator, furnace, hot water heater and air conditioner are warranted by their respective manufacturers. The van chassis is warranted by the manufacturer — Ford, Sprinter or Chevy/GM. See the Warranty page by clicking menu button under Information.
Van Chassis Warranty?
Dodge, Sprinter and Chevy/GM - 3 year / 36,000 mile "bumper to bumper" with roadside service. Outer Body Rust-through Warranty - Dodge 5 year / 100,000 miles, Ford 5 years / unlimited miles and Chevy/GM 5 years / 100,000 miles.
Can I Order by Mail?
Yes! We’re always amazed when it happens, but we do receive some orders each year from people who have never seen a Sportsmobile. So far, we’ve never had a customer drive off who wasn't smiling.
Trades?
Sorry, we do not trade.
"Now after using the Sportsmobile for some months, we are convinced that our our decision to purchase was the right one. With the exception of a truck, for other purposes in the North, this is the only vehicle we own or need — it does it all."
—J.H. and Julie Winans
What's the Payment/Delivery Schedule?
If You Select An In-Stock Van

"After 25 years with large motor-
homes, I am enjoying having practically the same facilities with Sportsmobile, plus ease of driving and parking and reliability. Sportsmobile offered the best in choices and selection of floor plans furnishing and equipment, as well as choices of vans."
—George and Ann Burkwell
Taking Delivery
Taking Delivery, We're Confidant
You'll Be Very Pleased When You Arrive
We'll conduct a thorough check out and "walk through" with you. Prior to your arrival we will send your comprehensive, easy to read owners' manual. Your Sportsmobile will be serviced, polished and ready to go! The water tank will be sanitized, flushed and filled. The propane and fuel tanks will be full. Temporary license plates are available. When you are completely satisfied, you can then make a final payment.
Do You Deliver? Yes, nationwide.
If You Would Like To Stay Over A Night, we will pay for the motel. Or you can stay at one of our local RV parks. This way you can get better acquainted with your Sportsmobile before you leave town. If you still have questions, you can come back the next morning.
After You Leave For Home Or An Extended Trip, you will need to make only one stop . . . for groceries. Then you can really start enjoying the pleasure of owning a Sportsmobile!
Financing & RV Insurance
Financing Through Sportsmobile Prior to the economic crisis it was easy for Sportsmobile to arrange financing through various financial organizations. Later in 2009 we hope to have this service available again. Many of our customers are financing through their bank or credit union.
Here Are Some Payment Examples.

Motorhome Insurance Motor-home or RV insurance rates are often much less than car rates. Not all insurance companies offer RV insurance, but the ones that do can save you money, plus better advise you on coverage. If the Sportsmobile will be your only vehicle, this will not apply. What are the requirements for a conversion to be classified as an RV? Please see "What Is A Sportsmobile" under Miscellaneous Info below.
RV Interest Deduction? Interest may be deductible from your federal income tax return as a second home (motorhome). Consult with your accountant.
Luxury Tax The 10% luxury tax on passenger vehicles costing over $30,000 does not apply to motorhomes.
Van Rebates Consumer rebates from Ford and Chevy/GM frequently change. There are periods when there are no rebates. If your van qualifies, you will receive it.
Pre-Owned Sportsmobiles are available and can usually be financed by your local bank or credit union. Later this year you should be able to finance through Sportsmobile.

If you're only staying a day or so at a site with hookups you may not want to bother to connect — but if you do it only takes a few minutes. That’s one of the nice things about a Sportsmobile — it’s fast. Simply park it, (pop the top if you have one) and that’s it! You don’t even have to park level, unless you have a 3-way refrigerator. In the morning, start your engine and drive off!
