Hi Folks, this week I want to congratulate the team at Kimbo who is currently building camper # 500. And then I want to say a few things to you that I hope encourage you this week ahead. A couple of days ago I walked into the shop to pick something up late at night. I see Kimbo 498 at the front of the line in the Fit and Finish section and then crane my neck to see the start of the line. The guys spray painted a “500” on a sign with all of the sub components laid out ready to

Hi folks, today I want to talk about “sitting in the quiet” and trust and recharge around others. We’re sitting at the edge of a wood slat deck. There’s a log cabin right behind us and a view straight ahead. We’re at a lake with a long lawn that stops at the end of the beginning of the view. It’s just the sound of the wings of bees and a few birds in the distance. I love log cabins. This one’s made of huge logs and has stood here for 30 years waiting for this family to arrive

Hi folks, today I want to talk about the wire baskets in a Kimbo and why we went with that decision. There’s a whole philosophy of thought behind it and I’ve been looking forward to sharing that. Today we’ll talk about value, transaction, and paradigm. Before we even start, I want to just share the simple version: “You only need one pair of scissors in your life, buy a good pair and give it a home so you don’t lose them.” And “if you only use something once a year, give it aw

Hi folks, today I want to just say some encouraging things. I don’t know who you are or where you’re at in life right now but I hope this kind of letter brightens your week. It seems like there are two types of chapters that life can go though; consistency and predictability or inconsistency and variability. They both can’t stand alone, one always needs a bit of the other. Some people find peace in the inconsistent and some in the predictable. Whatever type of person you are

Dear customers, today I want to talk about “wisdom is a balance” and what that means. I want to tie it to the production of this camper and then I want to say a few things that I hope make your day a little better. It’s so important to have a dream; It’s said that many of the marriages that survive the hard phases are the ones that still have a mutual dream in mind. That makes me think that just having one instills a type of stubborn perseverance into us that makes the target

Hi Folks, today I want to talk about the philosophy and design of a Kimbo; I also want to share some words that I hope will build you up. Kimbo was a lot of work to develop; it’s a pretty simple design. Simple is easy to see but hard to make. You’ve got to spend a long time refining complexity in order to make simplicity. Kimbo has always been designed to be compact; it’s the idea that if a camper is more compact and easier to drive around than someone else’s, then you gain t
