Lady Shadetree went from HATING vans of any kind for the 25 years we have been married... to loving traveling and camping in our Vanagon but still thought full size Fords were horribly ugly... to now loving our Ford E350 Extended. I really believe it may be contagious. So far she has never complained about the time or money I spend on these things.

May she forever stay infected with Vanus Februs
