One of the reasons I went to Europe was to talk with Just Kampers. They are looking to increase their buying "clout" and need someone who could help them do that by significantly augmenting their ordering quantities. It's a win-win situation: We get parts that are hard to find in the U.S., and they get better wholesale pricing on the parts they need because their purchasing volume goes up. I will be bringing in some of these parts, with the first shipment arriving in about 10 days. The price will be lower than if you bought the item from them, especially considering that you will not have to pay shipping from England. We are buying by the container load so the shipping cost is relatively low. The lock kits are one item that are already en route, as well as fiberglass bumper kits and some new Vanagon repair manuals. I'll have a list ready in a few days. Also, if are other items that peak your interest, just let me know and I'll work on bringing them in. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot http://www.busdepot.com |
