Hi folks,

I live in Denver but Louisiana is my home state.  My heart is completely
broken by what I'm seeing on TV and hearing from so many friends and
extended family who are now homeless refugees.

After a long talk with my wife and with my brother in Baton Rouge, I've
decided to go down and volunteer with the Red Cross early next week.  I'm
going in my '85 Wolfsburg Westy, and am going to be living in it for a few
weeks.  Right now the weather is unbearably hot down there, and I need a way
to stay cool at night and am looking for an inexpensive way to accomplish
this.  I'm going on a truly shoestring budget, here.  (Some of you might
remember that I was laid off in May...)

Terry's are ideal, but unfortunately well out of my price range.  I've seen
a few 40 lb. models at Best Buy for around $125.  Does anybody have any
experience with these?  I'll be parked in a driveway mostly, so I'll have
access to a power source.   I just wonder about safe mounting,
effectiveness, etc.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, as well as any positive thoughts
and/or prayers for the Gulf Coast and New Orleans.

Thanks,
Joe T.
