  That's a good thing to know.  Seems like Kingman and surrounding area is a
place where Vans seem to often break, and it is a bit remote.   I've had
other 'good' bad experiences around Kingman..Rented a car hauler there and
brought home a 428 Ford  '68 fastback.  U-Haul wanted to make me rent a
truck to tow it home, though I had my own F-250 4x4 powerstroke diesel
truck...I found another rental guy there who rented me a U-haul flatbed
anyhow...saved me a bundle.
