I'm outa here, running actually, truce, looks like you chose the wrong plastic surgeon.

I pulled it this morning so I could hook it up to AC and see if the problem was electricity related or compressor/freon related.
It ran perfectly on AC.

So I went through all the wiring and found a connector that was hanging on by a few strands.
I've rewired it all with a heavier gauge and soldered every link.
Re-installed it in the van and it is working perfectly now (much to Cheryl's relief... she was stressing planning meals for our 10 day trip without a fridge )

Beer, Whiskey, Trail mix and some Jerkey is all one really needs, other than that bring some fishing gear and or some trapping gear and you are set. yeah I know warm beer is not the best, but it is still good for you. If it is your trip to Crested Butte you are talking about there are moose up there, just don't get caught poaching one.

Cool looking map, Geek - where'd you get that?

The map in the fridge door?
Raven Maps... It is cut out section of a 6 foot map of Colorado I stole off of my office wall

I have the Colorado/Utah/Wyo/Montana editions. The Co one got sacrificed.

Here we go again :eek1

It is going to rain but being the passenger side, I can just extend the awning



Turns put the Hehr window does fit the factory stamp inside.

This crap was $54 for 20ft

Olivia and I agree that every Van needs a Peace symbol :)

that's just temporary though...right?!?

The Hehr window install turned out to be the most difficult so far.
The reason is because the window is ALMOST too big.
It fits exactly - but 1 mm off in any direction and it does not fit.. so it took a few tries to get it to sit just right.

Nice surprise!:
All of my stressing about building a door stop and a window stop, etc - the Window opens EXACTLY the right amount only! It clears the door and cannot interfere.









What a huge difference in makes inside! Instead of being dark & cave like.. now when you sit on the bed in the back it is very bright and airy.

We will tackle the rear windows after our vacation

I think it looks a lot better with windows; sorta' high-end and less commercial.

Tweetie is working on those

Wasn't me, Mangina started it, I just asked once if you decided to keep the bigger version.. with suggested added accessories, your choice, suit yourself pics ...you chose the wrong weekend to post the issue, all your fault!

He's got the newly moved speaker pointed down there...... highly suspicious, as you say, right?!?

+1! :d
