Max4 class b rv possible scam

Max4 class b motorhome. A similar scam was done a few years ago with a company called Eko . They would let the customer buy a dicounted van and become a sales rep and get a percentage of whatever sales they inspired.People put down10% or more to get a van that was never built. Company went belly up.
  • According to the Craigslist ad for that address, 601 Nickles Dr in Bozeman is a bunch of small office spaces (200 sq ft to 1000 sq ft) for rent. I drive by that location often and there is no way a manufacturing facility or dealership type facility is located there. I love Montana and Bozeman is about as good as it gets, but there would be no logical reason for an RV manufacturing or distribution facility to be there. Even a sales office makes little sense since there just isn't a population large enough to generate any traffic or volume sales. If they are legit, I wish them luck, but getting people to plunk down $45,000 for a van shell and another 40 grand for a conversion without ever seeing it is asking for a whole lot good faith. I am from the Ron Reagan camp, trust but VERIFY!!!. And this looks like it requires too much trust without much verification.
  • Looks really cool. Their Bozeman, Montana location is a church :)
  • "Eko USA, Inc. is a Dallas, TX based start up manufacturer of the all new Eko™ Compact Motorhome – the world's first green motorhome."
    There web site is still up, but not updated since 2013.

    Max 4 Class B Dallas TX. Based.
    One interesting (suspicious) thing. They tout the Ford Eco Boost, but the only generator option is propane.
    I wouldn't be surprised if the same people weren't involved in both.
    Looks like a vacant field on Google Earth.

    Both LLC's out of Montana.

    I can see why the photoshopped 'photos' would make you suspicious.
  • Their Dallas address is not far from me, might be worth a look.
