Sportsmobile

Sportsmobile is a company that provides custom after market conversions for full size vans. Most vans are fully converted to type B RV motor-homes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rvia.org/?esid=TypeBMHs )〕 The Sportsmobile company was founded in 1961 by Charles Borskey〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.woodallscm.com/2002/09/sportsmobile-raises-the-bar-%E2%80%93-and-roof-%E2%80%93-with-unique-class-bs/ )〕 and now has three locations: Huntington, Indiana, Austin, Texas and Fresno, California. They are considered one of the oldest van conversion companies in the U.S.
== Company History ==

In 1961 Charles Borskey started the Sportsmobile company in El Paso, Texas. After his first successful Sportsmobile, a Volkswagen conversion, Borskey was contracted to install kits into the Volkswagen minibus by Volkswagen America.〔 One year later Sportsmobile was contracted by Ford to install camper kits in the Lorain, Michigan plant (ref 3). In 1967 rising tariffs and lackluster sales ended their contract with Volkswagen of America.〔〔 Sportsmobile began selling directly overseas to Germany, but soon after the Westfalia, which copied several patented features of the Sportsmobile kit, was developed.〔 Borskey moved to Indiana and contracted out with Travel Equipment Corporation and General Engineering Corporation.〔
In 1976 Borskey opened his first Sportsmobile plant in Huntington, Indiana and began selling units factory direct. The high interest rates and second oil embargo almost led to a closure of the plant in 1980. Sales soon began to pick up and plant foreman, Jim Friermood, convinced Borskey to continue production. In 1984 Borskey opened up a second location in Austin, Texas.〔
In 1989 Alan Feld convinced Borskey to grant him a license as a Sportsmobile manufacturer. Sportsmobile West originally opened up outside of San Diego in a 2,000-square-foot shop and eventually moved to Fresno, California into a 66,000-square-foot facility in 2000.〔〔
