I can tell you based on my year of Sportmobile ownership... get 2 captains chairs for them, that way you can swivel all the chairs to make a eating area, they each get their own space and you get a walkway down the middle. You can then do a sofa/sleeper in the rear area with space behind it for...

thanks for the link, that is a great read and reminds us of days gone by

great job and very high quality. I always wish more people would post 6 month or 1 year follow up reports to speak to any vibration or other issues. So tell us more as you use it and find anything you would change

great report as always... you guys are part of the core here with the frequency and quality of your pics & stories. your blog is one of the few I can open at work and not worry that a manager will see something over my shoulder that will be a problem thanks and keep'em coming

Ben Edmonson of Equipt has a very nice LR3 that was well setup. Of course he had a National Luna fridge, an Eezi-Awn tent with changing room and an awning. As a pro-photog he managed to cram a ton of gear, a wonderful wife and a crazy cool dog into the rig and traveled all over with it. Ben...

Ooohhh yeah This is what expo is all about Great report, amazing pics and you really make me feel like hitting the road tomorrow Thx

One thing I noticed in reading about the Shaver Lake trip, is that there are cabins on site. Since the Sportsmobile WAVE can transport 6 when a chair user is driving and 7 if they are not driving (riding in their chair) there is an option of attending. Matter of fact if Jen & Paul really wanted...

Ha Jen, You were posting at the same time I was :) Just for Paul's sake and everyone else's, I will be bringing this puppy out on a trailer for Paul to play with. 6-8hrs on a charge and we can field charge it each night :)

You guys rock! I invited Jen & Paul (names are ok at this point) to join here on expo and read all the Disabled Explorers post and those by other disabled overlanders.... Just so everyone knows how DE normally works when someone is local: 1) Someone makes contact & we talk a bit by phone/email...

great pics... and nice use of some free time while getting work done. The Fiat looks like a pop top van, very cool

Hey Ben what was the cost of the Garmin? It would be great to see a review when you get back, especially regarding baja mapping as that is always a need. Looking forward to solid solutions.

Almost always the snorkle is more about less dust in the intake than water.

You can buy the one Sportsmobile West has for sale....it is wicked cool red and there is a thread here on Expo http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52931 http://sportsmobile.com/z-PO_calif.html

bump for a wicked nice rig... it still makes me cry to think of someone else driving this, but they will be getting a great rig

Great info guys... Ron, Yes the person in question is the lady you mentioned. She is currently camping with her kids as their rig can't take the husband along as much as he would like to go. So the easiest way to get things rolling for them is for me to come out there with the Sportsmobile WAVE...

I was just contacted through Disabled Explorers by a lady who owns a Rover and her husband is disabled. They want to go camping and I would to work with their local club so they have a solid support system after I leave. If you are a member or know someone who is please let me know. Thanks Lance

When he gets to the size of using a wheelchair get in touch with me through www..disabledexplorers.org and we will get you guys out in the van as a way to start thinking about what you need. Or if you to go before then let me know.

yeah, put it back in the rig where it goes :) I would double check that you only have the AC cord plugged in, that it still works on 12vdc and that the wall socket does have power by plugging in something else. after that I have no idea :)

brilliant trip report.....and great pics You really push the limits my friend and set a killer example for others. I am impressed by your willingness to just go and make it happen. Kudos to your dad for going on the adventure. Please post more as you travel, I wish I could have gone with you...

cool old book... that will make for some good reading at work, thanks for the link
