Joel,

Nuthin' you don't need to know about unless you have an early 80's Westy?

But when you do get that Early 80's Westy... it's a power recepticle that
uses a German standard type plug that I understand is available in this
country at BMW dealers. Most people, including myself, look at it for a long
period of times, trying to figure out what goes there. I can't figure out
why I would need a power recepticle there even if the van WAS running (and
that one isn't).

So know you know, the rest of the story. (At least the begining)

P.S. There are many people who say there are no such things as dumb
questions. There are. Millions of them.  I believe there are many people who
wouldn't know a dumb question if it hit them in the snoot. Your's are not
particularly dumb, you will just need to figure out how to use the archives
search to cover your butt when you don't know something that you think ought
to be obvious.

Best of Luck.
