Would You Rent A Sportsmobile Camper Van?

I’ve been a fan of the Ford Econoline Sportsmobile for a long time. If you want the ultimate go anywhere 4×4 campervan, this is the vehicle for you. Unfortunately, I can’t afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for one. Even a used one is going to run you around $150,000.  But what if you could rent one for say $300 a night and fulfill your dream of traveling in a Sportsmobile?

I came across GoExploreIt.com based out of Golden Colorado that will give you the opportunity to do just that. They have rental plans from 3-4 nights all the way up to 21-27 nights. The rental rate decreases the longer you rent it. They even include an Itinerary With Maps & GPS.
