Joel and group,
I called on this about a week ago. It's what it say's it is. After thinking
long and hard about it, it's a motor home, duelies and all. All custom
made. It's had about 3 or 4 owners since importation. As I thought about
it, I have a motor home. What I like about the Westy is it's small, I drive
it around like a car. Not the same animal.
