Or you can give me a call. I offer list discounts and have been a participant here on the list for the past 4 years. I suggest you deal with me.

I have racks available from Fiamma, Paulchen, Trotter, Omni-bike, Carry-bike, and Reimo. We are the authorized North American representative of Reimo, the largest supplier of parts and accessories for van campers in Europe.

Fiamma now offers bike racks here in the US at my request. I've been after them for 2 years to import more of their products. If the Volkswagen Vanagon and EuroVan racks are successful here, I may be able to persuade them to import more accessories. Reimo is also a Fiamma dealer, and I can get any of the Fiamma products available in the Reimo catalog.

I was saving this for a later date, but Reimo will be offering an English version catalog this year. They are at the printers right now, and I hope to have them available in a month or two. This is a big step for us. The cost to print the English version was considerable. I had to commit to increased sales and additional stock. I continue to stock many items including side tents, screen kits, bike racks, window vents, and a host of other items. We continue to develop new products for the small camper market.
