When Ford quit making the E series vans and went to the unibody construction Quigly forun it was too difficult to het parts for E series and warehouse a dying horse
Our Sportsmobile has sold. Our following videos on our channel give more information on the sale and what we’ve purchased since. Thanks for watching!!!
@@jangayle5849 This was our favorite van up til now. We’re not pleased with the original quality of the new van but once we get the stuff repaired I’m sure our new van will high up on our list of vans we’ve owned.
Well, to start with, we didn’t want to wait the two years in line for a new rig from Sportsmobile. With all of the used rigs for sale at the time there were some options we wanted to stay away from. Primarily the Ford 6.0L diesel engine. Other options were a compromise, just like all things in life really. The ideal build would have included the Atlas transfer case for sure but we found the Quigley build quite capable and had zero issues with it. We weren’t ever going to treat our rig like a rock crawler and realized this option worked very well.
@@americanpromisedland yeah availability is a huge factor. I wouldn't want to wait two years either. 👌And staying away from the 6.0 diesel is an absolute must unless you plan on doing a Cummins swap 👍
@@cfh4201969 Yes. Overall this was still a very good build. This got us wherever we wanted to go. And we got the chance to dip our toe into the Sportsmobile world. Some really great owners out there. And Alan Feld is a great guy. Glad to them succeed at their own venture.
Too bad that van will never see the true life of camping people that buy these things never go camping they go out for a weekend they might go out for a month that's pathetic you should give that thing to me I'll put it to good use but whatever doesn't matter that thing will rust out before you even go camping in it
