| It's harder on machinery to sit around and not be used than it isi to see regular usage with proper maintenance. |

| My point exactly, unless that thing was stored at the bottem of the ocean it shouldn't have needed anything but minor repair. It looks like a sweet Van I think he was one paranoind guy with too much money or the mechanic upsold the crap out of him. Probably a little of each. |

Maybe 350k? The odometer would show if it were 135 or 235...maybe just left a 0 out...

Based on that list, I would never use his mechanic.

$1100 for the awning ?? $10 for a flexable funnel ???
Well the guy has a Phd after his name, so he must be smart 
I'm guessing he told Greg-" spare no exspense" and thats what happened
