While Sportsmobile does not install lifts, we do work with companies that do. It's best to have the lift installed first and then the Sportsmobile conversion. We will be glad to help you plan your interior to most any design that best meets your particular needs.

Sportsmobile has converted lots of vans with special dog considerations, and other pets too, including cats, birds, and a snake.
Most Owners have only one small dog, and only need space for a small crate. Others have several dogs requiring space for multiple crates, special cabinets and other needs. Some owners show their dogs throughout the country, and need grooming equipment storage.
Whatever Your Needs we will be happy to work with you. We’ll build and equip it your way, whether it is a simple canine transport van or a luxurious self-contained motorhome.
Concerned about stopping for lunch, sightseeing or shopping when the weather is hot? Some owners report that they simply let the van's engine idle for a while when they park. You might want to put a note on the windshield saying "Dog is OK – A/C is on." An Inverter (12V to 110V) 2000W 65A is included with the Standard Equipment Package. Also be sure that your gas tank is not low, leave a couple of windows down a little and lock the doors. Note: in some states it is illegal to leave the engine running in an unoccupied vehicle.
Various paging systems are available with a temperature sensor and high and low settings that you determine. When the temperature reaches one of these settings, an automatic two-way pager will alert you by audio and/or a vibrator. No service is required. Portable. Long-range antenna optional. Other options are available such as engine start, turn on A/C, attic fan and engine heater.
For more information on heating and cooling your Sportsmobile when driving or parked, see the Heating & Cooling page.

“Eddie and I are very happy with our Sportsmobile conversion. We took a big trip to Iowa, Wisconsin, and Montana with our Vizslas. The van did great! Here is a photo of Big Beauford (yes, we named the van) in Montana where we hunted sharptail grouse, and Hungarian partridge.”

These custom crates were manufactured by Kustom Krates located near Austin.


And when you shut the door you won’t worry about your dog. The rotary style door latch is the heart of the crate.
