The truth of the fact is CMI has nothing to do with this truck . . . [snip] . . . and additional BOGUS statements.
I've just come across post, otherwise I assure you I would have responded more quickly . . .
We have no clue about this person, Skratch, who posted this; apparently this attack is his sole posting to our forum. More to the point, it's hard to imagine what possible axe he has to grind with Owen Connaughton and Creative Mobile Interiors.
I do know that his statements are incorrect. My Sprinter expedition camper, built to my specifications and inarguably constructed to a very high standard by CMI,
was being built at CMI's facilities at the same time as the S&S truck. Because CMI staff knew of my Unimog camper, I was also kept informed of the S&S truck's ongoing development with pictures and e-mails from CMI as work progressed. And perhaps most significantly, I personally sat in the cab of this truck at CMI's plant while it was being customized.
I had never heard of Farber RV until Skratch's post, but their website is here for your inspection:
http://www.farber-rv.com/.
They appear to be a straightforward dealer of production motorhomes and trailers and I do not see so much as a hint of their capability to do custom work. From what I reviewed, I find it hard to imagine their facilities, staff or experience would be one-tenth as impressive as CMI's when it came to custom vehicle construction.
While CMI isn't mentioned much on this forum, they are the country's premier custom converter of Sprinter vans and are one of the principal places Fortune 500 companies go for extensive customizations of all types of vehicles, including million-dollar-plus bus conversions. As I recall, large projects for HP and CNN were going on at the time I was working with them. In short, CMI has a positive national reputation and no reason to claim the work of what seems an ordinary dealer of stock recreational vehicles.
I'm left completely baffled by who this poster is, what he is hoping to accomplish, and what is to be gained by making statements that I personally and unequivocally know to be false.
And in case you are wondering, outside of being a client of CMI's four years ago, I have no connection with them at all and no reason to defend them against competent opinions. I am, however, astonished and disappointed at this forum being used to present "facts" which can so easily and conclusively be shown to be false.
