Time to leave the oil darkened ages an transcend into the solar age! I bet
one could devise some Solar panels on a vanagon that would complete a Horse
worth of power even without any battery or diesel backup generator!

I need a small differential to replace my motor and transmission with an DC
electric one I have! AC Electric would be even better, but I cant afford
that right now!
