I wouldn't even consider a motorhome with the EuroVan engine unless
they squoze a VR6 in there. 110 hp (or whatever the EV has) is not
near enough to drive a motorhome in the mountains! (Speaking from a
Rocky Mountain dwellers point of view. <grin>)
Maybe the Turbo version has big four foot "T-U-R-B-O" Graphics down
the side!? :) Turbo motorhome... sounds almost as silly as Turbo
bus!
