Zero Day

 We moved UltraVan 201 from her winter parking space into her temporary home as we do the repairs. Turns out we were lucky that we drove her back from Georgia during the winter months. The previous owner had neglected basic maintenance so badly that us moving the 500 or so yards yesterday caused the engine to vapor lock and made the entire RV a giant 3000 pound brick.

Of course this happens as we're feet from parking, while blocking a shared driveway. And the neighbor came home. 

Tractors and brute force to the rescue! With a spare tire on the forklift attachment, some pushing (on the bumper only, NOT THE BODY) and careful steering, we got her backed up enough to park, chock the tires and grab a beer to celebrate.

We took 2 before videos and put them on UltraVan 201 for posterity.

And here we go....
