Over the years companies like Sportsmobile have fine-tuned their E-Series 4WD conversions and can subsequently transform this iconic 2WD commercial vehicle into a bonified overland rig. So, what makes this platform such a desirable choice for travel? First and foremost, you simply can’t beat a live-in vehicle for extended trips away and the E-350 provides generous 4-season interior comfort. It’s not the biggest rolling home but this ensures that driving around town and on trails is relatively painless. Another benefit is the availability of OEM and aftermarket parts, accessories, and services. In short, these vehicles are very customizable with the only limitation being your imagination and possibly your wallet. If you’d like a better idea of how the E-350 can be outfitted for adventure then check out the inspiring builds from Timberline Vans, Ujoint Offroad, and Josh Evans. Today’s low-mileage (78,000 miles) 2008 E-350 Sportsmobile 4×4 is one of the most impressive examples we’ve showcased and features extensive premium modifications (including a limited-slip differential in the rear and a front locker), a dependable Power Stroke diesel motor, pop-top roof, and a well-equipped camper interior. Further still, it’s sold with an assortment of accessories, tools, spares, and camping equipment.

Extensive accessories include a front ARB locker, dual winches, 35-inch tires, Aluminess bumpers, and much more.
