What is your age?
What high school did you graduate from?
How long have you had your drivers license?
Do you own a home?
Do you have a car?
Then by the power vested in me I declare you a responsible individual.
I trust you to drop the top, roll up your water and electric lines.
I expect you to pick up your personal trash from your campsite.
Thats my take on super duper tricked out more wiring in a Vanagon with a
some cheesy switch that tells you that you got your head screwed on
properly.
