Thanks Ron!
The Skylight Guy and Delta Six are not gone, but their focus has changed.
As some of you may know, Trevor and Cheri divided their VW efforts among
three areas - producing original Delta Six replacement parts for Westfalia
campers, producing poptop skylights for the same, and retailing various VW
products in their online store. We at the Bus Depot worked closely with
them, distributing their products in the U.S. and supplying many of the
products that they sold online in Canada.
Trevor and Cheri have decided to go out of the retail business in order to
spend more time traveling in their Westy and enjoying other pursuits. Most
of the items in their online store are available from The Bus Depot. (In
fact they bought many of them from us in the first place, such as the
aforementioned gray water tanks). To better serve the Canadian market, we
have expanded our toll-free order desk line to work from Canada and
negotiated steep discounts to Canada with Fedex. (Those discounts may not
be reflected in the web checkout for some time, but please feel free to
email Fred at sales@busdepot.com right after placing your order. He can
quote you and adjust your shipping charge before your order is actually
processed.)
As for the products that Trevor and Cheri produce - the Delta Six
replacement camper parts such as inlets, faucets, etc., plus the Skylight
Guy poptop skylights - all or most of them will continue to be available
through the Bus Depot. We have bought the Delta Six trademark, molds, and
tooling, and plan to keep the brand and OEM products alive. Trevor and
Cheri will continue to assemble the parts for us in Canada using the
original molds, as they always have, in periodic batches between their
other endeavors. While this may result in sporadic stockouts - time will
tell - it will keep the products available to the VW community. Trevor also
intends to continue making skylights as time allows, which we will of
course continue to sell.
Trevor and Cheri are great people and all of us in the VW community owe
them a tremendous debt for the over-and-above work they did to save the OEM
Delta Six product line, which was at death's door before they revamped all
of the molds and tooling, updated the products for the 21st century, and
kept these rare OEM parts alive when nobody else would step up to the
plate. Were it not for their tremendous effort and expertise, many stock
replacement parts for our campers would be gone forever. It is the Bus
Depot's intention to keep that dream alive.
You can find most of the OEM Delta Six products and Skylight Guy skylights
on our Delta Six page http://www.busdepot.com/details/deltasix/

This transition is very new (as of January 1, 2015), but over time we hope
to expand the Delta Six line with additional OEM products. If you have any
difficulty finding products on BusDepot.com
