Time sure flies when you're having conniptions over what to do next to your build. Here's a quick update:
After a harrowing traverse across the super-stormy continental divide, I left the Zombie Van parked behind a Denver airport hotel for Derek of Colorado Camper Vans to pick up the following morning.
Having never met Derek in person had all sorts of thoughts going through my pea-sized brain. But the trusting Midwestern roots in me took over and trusted all would be well.
Derek isn't the fastest to respond to queries of any nature. But that's just because he's super-swamped. We talked about that and he's working on offloading the communication aspect of the operation. He does eventually get back to you. Which seems to be the case with a number of our hobby's vendors. But, that's best left to another thread.
After a couple of weeks, Derek sent me some pics.
I opted for the new mid-height top of Derek's design. I can tell a lot of practicality went into it. I would have wished the front to be a bit swoopier, but I'm splitting hairs from an aesthetic standpoint. I like the added room over the low-pro top, for sure, though.
After much ribbing from my kids, coworkers and friends about the "molest-o-van" white look, I had Derek and crew slather on a bunch of bed liner coating in an Audi Nardo Gray color Scorpion (Rhino) Coating. The above pics look a lot darker than in reality. And it's definitely a 25-footer. Drips and runs and smears everywhere. I'm not going to sweat it, though. Who needs a pretty boy paint job? I sure didn't want to pay for one!
More pics and updates to come.
