Road Champs is one of those diecast afterthoughts and also rans. The company got their start commissioning models from other makers, notably Yatming, before producing their own. As far as I understand, this Step Van is a Road Champs developed model.
For a time, I want to say about 1990 to about 1996-7, Road Champs (which is easily confused with Racing Champions - there is no business connection between the two that I have found) had a series of larger vehicles like this Step Van, a School Bus, a limousine (Majorette copy?) and a few others, all in about 1/64 scale, give or take.
I know some folks get caught up in some sub-collections around brands like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Fritos and Moonpie. To each their own, there is no incorrect way to collect diecast. I thought it would be better to add some lesser known brands for a sub-collection, and why I have Dr. Pepper and Cheetos as the brands I keep. So this Step Van, which probably would be passed over otherwise for my collection, made it because of Chester Cheetah.
It's not easy being Cheesy!
