Hi All - Major milestone announcement: Today I dropped off the patterns, fabric, components, drawings, and the current prototype with the manufacturer so they can create the first sample!
Here are all the bits loaded into my trusty diesel Golf:
The manufacturer will make a first sample unit and finalize pricing so I can relay that info to you. Its been over two years getting to this point so I'm pretty pumped to have made it this far and I'm super appreciative of all the great feedback I've gotten from the Sprinter forum family and beta testers.
For those with sharp eyes you may be wondering what is that extra strap on the carrying case? One user thought it would be helpful to put a lash strap on the outside of the case to help with anchoring inside the van. So here you have it - the lash strap/handle:
I've still got a couple of refinements to add to the design but we are entering the final pre-production stretch.
Thank you!
