<VV> ultra van

[Bryan Blackwell]

I've not seen another answer, if you haven't heard anything direct let 
me know and I'll dig up a couple e-mail addresses of UV owners.  
Perhaps they didn't notice your note the first time.

The fact that they are so light is a common positive comment.  Engine 
power is debatable - they don't climb grades really well.  My advice to 
a prospective Ultra Van owner is an echo of what I got from Bob Marlow 
when looking at Greenbriers - "Remember that the drive is part of the 
hobby.  If you want to set the cruise at 75 on the highway, you should 
pick something else."

Inspect it like a car *and* a home.  I believe the Ultra Van Tech 
manual is on their web site - look on the CORSA chapters page to find 
it.

No idea on the last two.  Good luck!
