    Mark seems like such a chill dude who is just making things that make him happy! The story of Kimbo is fascinating.

    Enjoyed the interview with Mark. He created an amazing truck camper. I have a Toyoda Tundra 5.7L long bed. I prefer the idea of the using the Tacoma with the Kimbo, perfect combination. The way Mark designed the 6’ Kimbo gives it a long bed feel which I find interesting. Out of the box thinking every step along the way. I am former Navy and men who become Captains of boomers are quite remarkable in every way. I thank your father for his service to the nation.

    I went on a tiger cruise from Pearl Harbor to Lahaina Maui in the 90s. So much fun thanks to the Navy!
    Now I kind of want a kimbo for the vibe.

    One day, I'll get one. Hilariously, it may just end up on some land as my home for a bit. I love the look and design of it all.

    It was great to see the two of you talking about the development of the Kimbo, while sitting in my home office and glancing over my shoulder and out the window at my Kimbo #232 sitting on its pad waiting for the next adventure.

    I want one insulated real well for winter, in the cascades, for my crew cab short box, 2500hd duramax, that I pull my enclosed snowmobile trailer with. Waking up, and riding from the snowpark, is way better than leaving home at 5am, driving 2-4 hours 1 way, and driving home exhausted at the end of the day, slapping yourself to stay awake, after burning 6000 plus calories riding in the mountains all day.

    Any word from Mark on them building a larger Kimbo dedicated to full size trucks?

    • @TalonSei
      @TalonSei  Год назад +2

      Mark mentioned he would love to expand to something larger like a Series 8 once the company grows larger

    • @derekmueller1076
      @derekmueller1076 Год назад

      This was my question as well. It would be great to have one designed for a full size

    • @peterrockne223
      @peterrockne223 Год назад

      I'm just curious as the wait is now about a month for a Kimbo and with the rest of the RV sector seeing huge slowdowns adding a second design feels like it may pull people from the Scout/etc campers designed for full sized trucks. Everything I have seen indicates they have the bull process and quality aspects of the Kimbo 6 dialed in and they are on cruise control.

  • @Thorsten89342
    @Thorsten89342 Год назад

    Great talk, thank you, very interesting. I think the Kimbo is a really beautiful thing, both inside and out. Looking forward to seeing you take the Kimbo out lots over the winter.

    “Sub”consciously, pun intended. Yup. That was a great interview with Mark. You got my attention when Mark talked about his Dad being the Captain of a nuclear sub. What a great product the Kimbo is.

  • @Whistler326
    @Whistler326 Год назад +1

    HOPING that Mark aligns with a Cdn Distributer....(CANADA is cold) ...and the price point is exactly what the market would support (myself included)....Bellingham Washington is a little far for this EASTERN ontario....future buyer ...Cheers, and always love the Stuff and Things......Warmest of regards, 1000 islands Canada!!!
