UVL is a nice concept, but not perfect unless it is installed on a bus, RV or at least 20 inches off the ground. For most transport vans, you just don't have that much amount of clearance, hence the UVL is not perfect. But that doesn't spot the mobility people from installing those UVL on vans. They get alot of money to do it knowing that the van will soon return for repairs. The UVL is suspended from 4, 3/4 inch threaded rods that are welded to the frame of your van. The UVL is left hanging from the van on those threaded bolts like a pair of testes on a male and very vulnerable to anyone or anything that wants to kick'em. So if you own a van with a UVL, learn to treat it like a Lady or you are going to find yourself and the van in the repair shop on a regular basis. Best Wishes, Dave W
