Warren, In the July of 2000 I broke a piston in my Westy's tiico conversion in Kayenta, AZ. Over the next couple of days I managed to struggle to Page, AZ and then to Orderville, Utah where it finally gave up in a cloud of smoke as it spit out the oil dipstick and finally just quit. From Orderville I shipped it back to NC with Triple J Transport, a truck brokerage business that claimed they would ship "anything, anywhere, anytime". It was actually carried by a local motorsports company that had delivered three custom Corvettes to California from Charlotte, NC and needed a load for the return trip. The van was picked up in Orderville five days after I called and delivered in front of my house in Raleigh seven days after that. It would have been there sooner but they called and asked if I could wait an extra day so they could finish a Mustang to deliver to Fayetville, NC. Except for a few bugs on the rear hatch window (it was carried backwards on a 3 car trailer pulled by a huge pickup truck) it was perfect with no damage. Total cost was $1100 for the 2300 mile trip. I would use Triple J again if needed. Ed McLean
