G'day,

I friend of mine here in Sydney sent me this link to an article on the BBC:

Tiny URL: https://tinyurl.com/yclbrwc8

Full URL:

http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20150127-forty-years-on-gmc-motorhome-remains-on-the-move

It's dated 27 January 2015 and as you can see it has a great bit of detail about Espen Heitmann, Bill Bryant, and myself.

I don't remember providing any info to the BBC, however, I may have as I do suffer from CRS.

Has anyone seen it before and do you know where they got the info (even it was from me)?

Very nice article; more descriptive and with fewer errors than we usually
find in US publications.

Since it is a BBC article, they are likely talking imperial gallons @ 160 fl.oz. USA has their own gallon size at 128 fl.oz.
