Van Aaken out of biz??

Someone in another thread mentioned them going TU. I checked their website and while the initial screen comes up with their domain name, there's nothing backing it up? that would be a shame. I love my V5.

It would appear so. Their US phone number still rings to a vmail box which is full and not accepting any messages. The "index" page of their website is gone, but the pages behind it are still there. Looks like it may have just happened recently.

Hey I now have an obsolete mod on my truck! It could be worth a mint one day

Yikes, wonder what happened to them ? product too long in development finally tap their last bit of money? The two reps I met really knew their stuff, wonder if they will come up with something down the road, or offer their help with a different product ? Real bummer, anytime we loose one line of product, the consumer suffers.
