I posted a while ago about my solar panel installation - It shouldn't be hard to locate in the archives. BTW - I picked up a nice RF-style ammeter at a surplus store for $3 and installed it yesterday. Scale is 0-8 amps. Works great with the panels! It was reading 2.6 amps in weak sunlight earlier this morning. Someday when I have the time I will post a more complete description of what I did, where I got the parts, etc, but I can't do it before GNATT. Of course, anyone that wants to see it and get the full poop scoop just has to show up at Busses by the Arch in St. Louis on May 26-28! :) -David ============================================================================ David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) SAIC Comsystems, San Diego Calif.
