Subject: Solar panels and curtains
Content-Type: text/html
<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>
<P><BR>Wondering whether anybody has setup a solar panel on there westy instead of hooking up a second battery - If so where did you get it - how much was it - difficult to install?</P>
<P>Also I am wanting to install a curtain behind the front two seat to use instead of the front window button-up. Does anyone know where I could find one or do I need to build it myself.</P>
<P>Thanks for the help,</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Your point here being that only the perfect may speak? Or perhaps that if
<DIV></DIV>>one cannot do everything one should do nothing? Or maybe you're saying that
<DIV></DIV>>if you do some damage you may as well do a lot?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Maybe you just feel defensive because you ripped all of that enviro crap
<DIV></DIV>>out of -your- Vanagon.

<DIV></DIV>>Oh, and if I find somebody taking a dump in my back yard I don't really have
<DIV></DIV>>to ask myself anything before I ask them to knock it off.
