Correct. The units were a bit old so who knows how much insurance will pay.

Terrible news. Hopefully they can get back up on their feet soon! If anybody has a few bucks to spare it would be a huge help: https://www.crowdrise.com/parkmedical

I've ridden in many brands over the years and although PL Custom looks nice but I hear about how heavy they are, which is a brake killer. A lot of interior is made of plywood too. I'd rather have a well built all aluminum interior such as Road Rescue, Braun, or Demers if involved in a crash. While I've never been a type II fan we've all had to suffer through them working for the commercials. I do however find the sprinters much nicer to work in with the extra headroom & nicer ride.

Luckily I haven't had the experience being in any crashes. Demers from what I hear builds to the higher canadian spec & actually tests their product to ensure compliance. I understand that AEV uses wood in their compartments as opposed to all aluminum that Demers (and Road Rescue) use. Not sure if AEV does testing. Demers also has the structure within the structure makeup so no individual cabinets are built into the box, so nothing can fly off in the event of a crash.

Demers. Take one for a ride. Very safe too.

In Canada each province has their own set of safety requirements. Altogether they're pretty much the highest standards in the world. The reason why Demers has a huge portion of that market is because they build their rigs to meet or exceed the highest standards that are set up there, which eventually satisfies the safety standard of all provinces. Granted they're based in Canada so they do have home field advantage, but most US based manufactures don't sell up there since they can't build to standards. Demers is very safety-centric. Youtube their pull tests on interior cabinetry. Pretty interesting. They also use dynamic load testing on their boxes, which is a step above what others do in their static load testing.

Nice job Bill...from an old LVAC JAFO!!

Looks like they have some nice new modern apparatus. Did the MTV folks make a nice donation down there?!! Also, did Snooki & J-wow donate some personal flotation devices to the water rescue units??!!
