Hi Jim...Sorry for the delays. The first prototype was terribly time consuming and we have been working on some ways to cut costs. It looks like no matter how we do it, these things aren't going to be cheap, but it sure looks nice! The rest of the trailer project has been eating up my time as well. Hopefully the renewed interest will inspire me to get it to the finish line! Thanks for your interest.

FLYNCLD - Your trailer project is more important to finish, so take your time. I'm being so generous hoping that the time needed to finish your trailer may be enough good ole cogitation time to figger out how to produce the roof vents more affordably !! But your are SOOO right - your prototype does look way cool .
Jim

Cld - I hate to keep bothering you, but I really do like your vents!!! Any progress on reducing production costs & thus maybe you might have some idea what you'd need to ask for them? I need 2!!

Jim, I emailed Steve at VTS about them and he said they had the prototype done and were hoping to have them available this winter.

cheers,
