It seems like a fair amount of the people here have Colorado Camper Van tops on their Fords and the general responses I've read have been fairly positive. I'm getting ready to drop a fairly significant amount of money on a CCV top and I the kind of workmanship I see in those Astro Van pictures sure isn't worth the price.

Good question Wirehead. I was under the impression most Ford van tops from CCV have been positively received. Any owners out there have input?

I am also having problems with the scissor action, poor install etc... that I don't see being van discriminate.

I can't speak for others, but I have had people reach out to me with other vans with problems, one person even has a blog. There is also another thread in EP about numerous problems with them.

Search for this thread title...

Anybody heard from Colorado Camper Vans?

This may help your decision process.

Thanks much... I am always wanting to learn from others

[SteelheadJones]

My pleasure. I feel like there's more to learn here than a person could apply to 20 vans.

I had Derek install a top for me last summer. The job could have been done more quickly and everything wasn't perfect the first time, but he fixed the minor issues and I think he genuinely cared about getting things right. That's all I can really ask for.

Happy for ya... but if you read his responses to me in the thread over on EP, you will some of his truer colors be exposed... and kinda funny Derek had to FIX the work he did on your van too... seems to be a common theme.

If you get down to So Cal I would highly recommend the guy who fixed all my CCV issues, well all the ones I didn't fix myself. He has also repaired a friends CCV top lift mechanism as well. Other members have also used him for other fabrication and full interior builds.

Sorry you are having all the issues. It is all someone else's complaining until it happens to you, then things get real.

Tequilasunset welcome to the forum great bunch for sure… Sorry to hear about all the CCV issues. My business is about 6 miles from Derek, I have gone back and forth with either CCV or Tufport. I have heard of issues with him/CCV but only rumor mill, not actual photo's and emails. That being said I will take a trip up to Canada and get a Tufport. I was entertaining the thought anyhow but now my mind is made up. Wishing you all the best in getting this all taken care of...
