Thanks David K. I've had several Callen's over the years, at least 8 on all of my various rigs in the past. I'm getting rid of my current Callen
because it was built so crappy. The frame inside is broken and my outer skin is ripping. This is the only Callen I've seen do this. Thousands of
Baja miles, I know. In the past the Callen would break the truck bed, this is the opposite. I bought this one used and have a feeling it was made
when Scott, Jim Callen's son ran the company into the ground. I know quality suffered then. I had a new one ordered and it took four months to get
it after I said I need it in a week for a Baja trip. He said he would start building it. Slapped it together in 3 days.
I wonder if they still offer their lifetime warranty, doubtful. So I'm going back to a basic shell for now until I decide what to try out next.
Thanks for sharing the news about Callen back in business.

All you can do is ask... Wouldn't be great PR if they did, for a Baja Nomad?

Feel free to give us a call or swing on by the shop. Jim is back in the mix and we are building them with with the same high quality that our shells
are known for. Always good to hear feedback from the hard users of the Callen shells.

I talked to Jimmy last week and he told he was going to go in and work for you part time for a while. He is one funny crazy guy, and he knows how to
put together a good camper shell. I have had Callen cabovers and shells since '86. One time I rolled my truck with a Callen slide in shell on it and
the shell was still usable but the truck needed lots of repair. I have lots of respect for how well they are made.
Off grid, 12-190 watt evergreen solar panels on solar trackers, 2-3648 stacked Outback inverters, 610ah LiFePo4 48v battery bank, FM 60 and MX60
Outback charge controllers, X-240 Outback transformer for 240v from inverters, 6500 watt Kubota diesel generator.
