Well, this didn't turn out the way it should have. Let's not dwell on that.
But what we should do is the same thing we did for anybody in need.
Regardless,

Wow, sad to hear about Big Jim, but an inspiring old thread for some of us newcomers here. I was vanning back in the '70's and miss the old van 'family' atmosphere. Other vanners would help me with mechanical problems (where I lack) and I helped with interior details (finish carpenter). We swapped cassettes to share our tastes in music. Had some great weekends partying on the beaches of Long Island.
