My "Red Brick" is actually one of the Maroon ones - but it is more on
the red side than the maroon side. At some po8int it will get a new
paint job - and then it will be Tornado Red!! I like that red color.

Somewhere out there in the world is  a Vanagon truck pulling a Vanagon
5th Wheel - all Tornado Red, if I remember correctly. I have seen the
picture - but would like to see the rig in person.
