Re: Any van love?

I had your vans brother when I was working in Norway. I jack knifed it badly hauling a cherrypicker from our worksite during winter. It was like geting a tank slapper on a motor bike, once it started to wobble there was nothing to do but hang on for dear life. Lucky for me it was late night and little traffic. Skidded trough 4 lanes and ended up in the barrier. The frame was bendt so the insurance company totaled it. I got a 1999 Starcraft after that, It was a nice upgrade comfort wise :-)
