I can see your point... I've driven down I-15 in near Salt Lake, Utah and it would have been nice to have something. 109 vans don't really book that well down the freeway compared to normal traffic.

I am a new member to the site, and i love everything about this site. I don't currently own a MV, but plan to in the future. I have read a few posts on here that have gotten out of hand, and i would really hate to see this hobby catch lots of flak from the outside because of things said here...
