Hey Kevin thanks so much for writing!! It is really great to put a name to a van or whatever the expression is. It was certainly no bother to receive your out of office reply - I was mostly interested in your backstory. The only question now is where are you and can you connect me with your painter :)

I have updated the wiring and plumbing indoors, replaced everything with LED, added an LED strip around the inside to uplight the tent - pretty fun, new stereo + speakers, added a 2nd battery with GW disconnect kit.

I have tried their resister kit and apparently the total amperage is around 10 amps so it pops the fuse when it is in and when it is not the front blinkers work madly whereas the rear ones work fine???

A great local painter who works on lots of old steel from the 60's and 70's and is used to working on vanagons. I stripped the van down to remove everything except windows and rubber and they prepped and painted the van and I took it back and put it all back together. Really looks nice now.
