We purchased our first RV in 2008. Its a Rare one at that. They are called Ultravans or Ultra Vans. Once the Doctor told Marie that she would be able to walk again without aid of canes and/or a walker we wanted to be able to work towards our goal of traveling and camping throughout USA and Canada in an RV.
Here is the first one purchased in the spring of 2008.
UV248 being unload, the summer of 2008, in our driveway in Canada.
And here is the second one we purchased, later that summer, from the same owner as the first. We plan to use for its interior to be able to restore the first coach.
This is what it takes to transport one of these.
This coach sat for more than 28 years before we purchased it. One year after we were blessed to have it I got it running and took it to shows. I still need to restore it.
The 2nd one also has body damage. However, being a retired mechanic I hate waste or s c r a p the 2nd coach. I've always planned to customize it. In less than two year of owning the 2nd one I purchased the donor vehicle that I plan to use for the conversion.
Marie and I like the history and love the look of these Ultravans so much that we decided to buy one of each series made and have a small museum. We have since purchased a much smaller house, but with a lot more land than the last property; so we have enough space to build a barn for a shop and display are.
Once the coaches have been restored we plan to use each and every one of them as they were meant to be used and enjoyed.
Our hope is to raise funds for Habitat and Hospice with our little museum and hold car shows, once every 3 to 5 years, on our 154 farm.

Here is an interior shot of UV256 standing behind the coach looking through the hatch.
Here is a closeup shot of the Corvair engine in UV256 also looking through the back hatch.
