WELCOME: This is an on-line discussion forum called Ask Ken. The Ask Ken Format has been changed. From now on send your Ask Ken letters directly to me at kenwilfy@comcast.net and I will help you with your Vanagon question or problem directly. I will take the frequently asked questions and really challenging problems and post them here for us all to learn from. Thank you for your support of this forum.
