<VV> UltraVan 338

[wfcc at mediacombb.net]

We don't really use 338 much any more and I hate to see it just sit there, I do take it out about once a week and drive it around the block. There was a note on the UV list about someone looking for one in the Northwest and I answered it half in jest. I have received several E-mails since then about it so I thought I would send this out:

 #338: purchased from Ken Wildman in 2007 , drove from Ada, Ohio to Pensacola,  Florida- Not entirely without incident, but nothing serious.
 We have made several trips to south Florida, Jacksonville, Fla. and Biloxi , Miss. Our last long trip was to Hilton Head, S.C. for the Hilton Head Invitational (where we won a Palmetto Award). We go weekend camping occaisionally. Whenever we take it to a car show there is usually a line of people wanting to look at it.
I have been Tinkering and "improving" on it since I got it and it is a pretty useable and reliable coach now. It is a 47 year old class A motorhome that  (As far as I know)  has been on the road all that time.
 Here is a list of some of the things that I can think of...Not in any particular order..
