Great van, long way to go.

I finally picked up my van, fresh from Jpn. back in December. Since then I've been trying to keep everything going and figure out how all the remote controls, toggle switches, and electronics work. My van is awesome but, man, is it ever confusing! The mud flaps fell off, the fender flares de-stuck, the inside door handle is peeling off, the radio doesn't work, the CD player doesn't work, the DVD player doesn't work, the GPS says I'm near Vladivostok, the karaoke doesn't work, the sunshades don't work, the fog lights don't work, but hey, I can kind of watch Oprah on the TV! Anyhow, finding all these odd bits and pieces is challenging. I've been contemplating installing a small trampoline to pop out of the door so I can get in more easily, the lift kit makes it more of an expedition than I thought - someone has suggested that I mount some climbing holds into the door frame. And, after tons of phoning and waiting I finally hooked up with a roof rack and ladder, took today off to pick it up, got out wads of cash, called "the person/company" who agreed to sell it to me, and guess what, they sold it. Apparently I can trust their word to get me another but now I'm not so sure. Guess I'm jaded. This is my jaded introduction. By the time I post a photo of my "jelly bean" I hope to be un-jaded!
Until then,
Jain
