Just wanted to let everyone know that I have had numerous transactions
with Mr. Salmon and have been extremely pleased with his honesty.  I have
purchased numerous parts for my Westy from him and he has been very fair
in all deals.  Most of the Vans I have seen are in excellent to good shape
at very resonable prices.  I have not seen this van nor am I sure of book
value, but if he says it is excellent condition, then it is.  I have
bought used mechanical parts from Ron and he even exchanges them for me if
they do not work.  Find that from anyone else and I will be suprised.  It
is a shame that someone who has no prior knowledge (or so it seems) wants
to be ignorant.  I just wanted to let everyone know my experience with
Ron.
