Yes, Patrick, I was quite sorry to hear your story. I know how much our meager
vacation time means to us here in the US, and to have it ruined by a vehicle
problem is just the pits. BTW, a friend bought, last year, just about the exact
same vehicle. He's done a fair amount of travelling with it. Tows a fifth wheel
camper. As I recall, he's spent a couple of vacation days looking at it on a
lift too.
