This Argentine company turns boring motorhomes into 4x4 'beasts'
Original source: iProfesional

Ripoll Motorhomes, a family firm founded in 1941, has launched its Optimus 4x4 line, which converts a Sprinter van into a 4x4 all-terrain motorhome in 72 hours. The conversion, developed over five years by a team of over 50 specialists, starts at $130,000, which includes the price of a new van. The company, now led by the third generation, expects 40% growth in 2025 and plans to expand its plant in Buenos Aires to double its annual production.
