Sportsmobile builds an extraordinarily capable new home-away-from-home perfect for a wide variety of outdoor pursuits
For everyone who loves the outdoors but would still like to enjoy all the comforts of home on their adventures, we bring you Sportsmobile’s Ultimate Adventure Vehicle.
The Ultimate Adventure Vehicle project was designed to create a well-rounded vehicle capable of meeting a wide variety of transportation needs, from running everyday errands to serving as a rolling base camp for multi-week outdoor adventures. This rugged four-wheel drive van includes all the amenities you’d expect to find in a much larger motorhome, and yet achieves unprecedented levels of around-town maneuverability, open-road fuel-economy, serious off-road capability, and back-country camping practicality no other vehicle can match.
Uniquely suited to a wide variety of outdoor activities from mountain biking to sea kayaking, the Ultimate Adventure Vehicle is equally at home dry-camping on a remote mesa in Canyonlands National Park or pulling into the valet stand at a funky resort in the Florida Keys. Based on a full-size Ford E350 one-ton cargo van, the vehicle features interior and exterior modifications and an innovative new four wheel-drive system.
Adventure…
4-Wheeling in Moab
“I enjoyed ‘wheeling with you while in Moab. We put those big beasts through the gauntlet, and I was very impressed with the performance, comfort and drivability of the Sportsmobile 4WD, especially since we were on the very difficult routes! “Take care and I hope to see you on the trail sometime soon.”

Introducing the Ultimate Adventure Vehicle
At the Los Angeles Auto Show, yes — it was a stopper.
Nothing beats an iron pot full of good Mexican cookin’. And gasoline fireworks later!
