    Default Camping lab

    Does Camping Lab still exsist ? I have tried e-mailing them and calling but no response.

    CampingLab is in a transition period. They have very little inventory (no RTT's). I will call Fernando and ask him to check this thread.

    I'd like to get one of his awnings and enclosures but wont unless he has them in stock. Its either him or an Ironman that I'm looking at and whichever one I can get the fastest. What do you mean by transition? Merging with another company? Expanding retail/warehouse space?

    No answer from Camping Lab from my second set of messages. I have learned the "transistion" usually means out of buisness.

    They were slow to get back to me but when we did talk I ordered a part and received it pretty quickly.

    Spoke with Fernando about a month ago. Said they were moving the manufacturing from china to Mexico, but then ran into a bunch of quality control issues, so are trying to work something else out, perhaps moving it back to china. Said they should be back up and running in a few months
