Subject:      TV/VCR in a Westy
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

    A  couple of weeks ago someone posted a question about running a tv/vcr
in their Westy, worried that the alt. couln't handle the load.I have this
combo ( sep. units though, 5" B&W tv, with a VCP I bought at Target for
$60.00) in my Westy, used it last weekend on the way to Everybus 2000 for my
7 yr old daughter, and I cannot say enough good things about this setup when
traveling with kid(s). It kept her entertained through breakdowns (6!), and
at the campground during the rain. She brought 2 Pokemon movies, The Love
Bug, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ( favorite line: 'Atsa fine piece-o-junk you
got there, my boy). Anyway, I too was worried about the alt. being able to
take the load, so I hooked it up to my portable battery, which lasted the
trip down, while we were there, and the trip home. Next to the porta-potti,
this has become a "must have" item on trips from now on.    Jeff S.
