Buyer Beware. This guy Ricky Jines Norwalk, CA advertised on The Samba two Cargo Doors. I noticed one of the doors had a Camper Window in it and emailed an offer to buy the Camper Window. He accepted my offer and I was to pay for the shipping. After a trip to the Post Office to get a $170 money order ( he does not use Paypal ) I sent the funds. A few week later I received a package and upon opening it I find the window body. Just the window body without the spacer needed to install it on a bus, nor the screen, nor the interior trim. When I informed him that he did not send, at least, the spacer his response was that 'I did not ask for the spacer' ?? As gently and slowly as I could I reminded him that I had ordered a camper window, not part of a camper window & I compared that as the same as receiving a wagon without it's wheels and that the window without it's spacer was useless to me or anyone else. To no amount of logic discussion would he relent.
So, I asked him to return my money and I would return the window to him. He said if I was going to do that he would subtract from my refund the amount for his labor to remove it from the door, his packaging/handling and the gas cost to go back & forth to the Post Office.
After a few further exchanges I convinced him to send me the spacer but he insisted that I pay for the shipping, which I did, he kept the screen & interior trim.
If you plan on doing business with this guy be aware that, it appears if you did order that wagon from him and you did make it clear that you wanted the wagon with it's wheels what you would receive would be the wagon with it's wheels, but with no tires or valve stems.
Buyer Beware.

And as far as this fotoroadie guy he emailed me multiple times on my cargo doors asking if I could sell the one window that was installed I told him no multiple times until you caught me in a good mood and said ok, I uninstalled the window for you, sent a picture of what I was shipping to you, at no time you said anything about a spacer
At your recieval of the window you went on to say how the spacer was missing
I was never adviced of a spacer as to the ad was to two cargo doors with the 1 window installed, I ended up sending your spacer free of charge, as far as the trim and other spacer they were to the other cargo door you offered to buy,also you mentioned a screen? You knew I never had a screen? After the favor I did for you I get the feed back? Get real! I'm surprised you didn't ask for the cargo doors too..
I can picture you going to Costco getting a sample and asking for the entire box for free
