My van is on the road and I have successfully taken it to NH and back this weekend. I spent the entire winter working on it, it hadn't been on the road for 4 years...too long a time not to get out and go camping the easy way. There are a few bugs to work out, but nothing too major. Amazingly, all the camping stuff still works great and the interior is still pretty much immaculate. Engine runs strong, averaged 18.6 mpg over 2 tanks. Running a bit hot it seems...mostly when in slow highway traffic. Anyway, I asked a lot of questions of the past months and got a lot of answers (most helpful). I really appreciate the list and just wanted to say thank you to everyone that takes the time assist those of us who don't know what they are doing. You helped me meet my summer deadline! Jason |
