    Lots of "spots" have been sold. Vagabond even deals with transferring ownership to a new person...
    If you're wanting a refund, go ahead and post your spot for sale and get the same outcome.

    Just came back from a 2 week camping trip touring several neighboring states. Typically my wife and daughter hate camping but i slept in a tent with my son and the girls got to stay in the Drifter I heard zero complaints from them! Thank you VO for making camping work.

    Here we are on top of a hill in Makoshika State Park Montana:

    The deflector is kind of janky as its two different sizes stacked but it does the job, i have less bug juice on the camper front which was hard to clean and mpgs are a little better on the highway. I was getting 20mpg going through Montana and North Dakota. I am thinking of making a new fairing by using the bottom one as a template and extending it out to the height of the drifter.

    We still have many months ahead on our wait given continuing lead times around two years. I am contemplating selling our build spot with a prospect of potentially purchasing a used Drifter. Does anyone know what the process looks like to have a Drifter installed on a different platform? (In this case a shortbed Taco to my shortbed Frontier.) The ad says it can fit most standard midsized shortbed trucks but Frontiers have funky bed dimensions. Not sure anyone can answer this here but figured I’d ask. Tried calling VO to no answer, unsurprisingly.

    If you can measure your bed, I can let you know…
    Inside opening between bed sides and front to rear tailgate. Also include thickness of each side.
    Bonus for measuring the tallest part of the center of your cab to the top of your bed rails.
