Hello all!

I am the new proud owner of an 85 Westy and noticed a small quirk.
When the lights are on, the right blinker doesn't work (doesn't
light, doesn't blink).  The left one works fine though.  If I turn
the headlights off, everything works OK.  Anyone know what this might
be?

Also, I am interested in installing a second battery and solar cells
to power my laptop while on the road (well, not literally on the
road, people talking on cellphones are bad enough).  I tried
searching the lists, but everytime I do, it times out.  The link to
the Solar Vanagon on vanagon.com is dead so I was wondering if anyone
has any info on this procedure.  I've checked out MrSolar.com ,
realgoods and other sites but none give much info on specifics...so
any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Alan Watts
