Some of you know that I have a 400 watt Air 403 wind = turbine that I occasionally use on my 85 Westy when I am dry camping.  It's = an unusual rig, to say the least. 
 
Well, yesterday, I happened to see an 85 Vanagon = (same color as my Westy) with a for sale sign in the window parked beside a local tv = shop less than a mile and a half from my house.  As I stopped for a = closer look, my gaze shifted to a pole mounted on the building along side the = van.  And there at the top of the pole was.... an Air 403 wind turbine!  Hmmm....  What's the cosmic significance of this?
 
BTW... The vanagon is for sale -- $300.  I'd = buy it if I had a place to keep it.  It's been in a flood and the engine and transmission are pretty well shot.
