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! - Mike White [Mail: mike.white@law.utah.edu - mwhite@eng.utah.edu] [http://www.cc.utah.edu/~mw1759/index.html]
