Dan:

Sounds like you got a very nice coach.

The one missing accessory for the complete Ultra experience is a CB so you 
can listen to the trucker's comments.   :)

Calling an Ultra Van a "Whale on Wheels" came straight off somebody's 
CB.  I've also had mine called "a loaf of white bread", a "motorhome for 
midgets", and (of course) the "Oscar Myer's WeinerMobile".    When you 
start giving the rest stop tours of the iinterior, be prepared for the 
gasps of amazement at the amount of space crammed into that little body.  I 
usually tell folks that Peterson's greatest engineering accomplishment was 
making them bigger on the inside than on the outside.

They are great fun.  Enjoy!
