The 2001 GMC Savana 3500 is a heavy-duty, rear-wheel-drive van built on a full-frame chassis. It features a standard 5.7L V8. It boasts up to 10,000 lbs. of towing capacity, paired with a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission.
Look it up…A 2001 GMC Savana 3500 Sportsmobile is a highly sought-after, rugged Class B camper van. Built on a heavy-duty 1-ton chassis, it features Sportsmobile’s signature custom layouts—this includes the iconic pop-top roof, heavy-duty suspension, and versatile off-grid living configurations.
We have been using it once or twice a year lately, some years not at all, and never on long trips. Time to let it go and take the Lincoln Town Car to a hotel. This rig is ready to go on a trip today.
My Sportsmobile has the pop top and it is like new. We call it the “Penthouse.” It sleeps 2 on top.
The rig has a second sleeping area, a lower sofa (jackknife style) to be converted into a double bed, which sleeps 2 on bottom and two on top. In total, it sleeps four adults.

Why I think this is a great rig?
-Old enough that property tax won’t kill you
-5.7 350 motor is the best ask a mechanic
-All American and parts are cheap unlike many of the other MB vans and locals can work on it.
-I take “Vana White” to the GM dealer
-Fits in a normal garage
-Looks like a van not a camper
-Big double doors on back and on the sideways to load not like the tiny door on an RV or trailer.
