>From Smitty again:  Nope no joke or sarcasm there Alan.  When my AC died
in Flagstaff I was one unhappy camper.  I am not as young as I once was
and even though driving around with a wet towel over my head kept me
comfortable, it was less than desireable.  I like to have people on the
road see the wagon and believe they are seeing the real thing.  I like it
when truck drivers find out that a real Corvair flat 6 is propelling me
and my camper down the road.  As long as it looks right, It meets my
criteria.  I don't go out of my way to mention my 16 hrs a day seats or
the powerful headlights or the sound system and I don't go into detail
about the hundreds of tiny changes that enable the engine to throw off
heat in huge quantities.  If it looks Corvair then I'm happy, and I will
load in all the modern conveniences that will fit with out being noticed.
