<VV> Fun cost $

[James Davis]

You gotta remember owning an Ultra Van is more like owning a 40 year old 
house with a Corvair power train, than a 40 year old car.   For instance 
Ultras have 104 -14 gauge wires running all over the coach and all are 
white and there are 3 different fuse panels and one circuit panel.  Of 
course this assumes there have been no "improvements" by the previous 
owners.  Believe me, Ultra Vans were not nearly as well engineered as the 
Corvairs.  That said, I love mine even if  it does cost about $1.00 a mile 
to operate.  Stop by Jantzen Beach RV park during the Convention and have a 
look.  There should be eight Ultra Van's there.
