<P><BR>Wondering whether anybody has setup a solar panel on there westy instead of hooking up a second battery - If so where did you get it - how much was it - difficult to install?</P>
<P>Also I am wanting to install a curtain behind the front two seat to use instead of the front window button-up. Does anyone know where I could find one or do I need to build it myself.</P>
<P>Thanks for the help,</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Your point here being that only the perfect may speak? Or perhaps that if
<DIV></DIV>&gt;one cannot do everything one should do nothing? Or maybe you're saying that
<DIV></DIV>&gt;if you do some damage you may as well do a lot?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Maybe you just feel defensive because you ripped all of that enviro crap
<DIV></DIV>&gt;out of -your- Vanagon.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Oh, and if I find somebody taking a dump in my back yard I don't really have
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to ask myself anything before I ask them to knock it off.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; We love our Vanagons...but they are NOT the perfect
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; vehicle for enjoying the natural world...or preserving
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; it....catalytic converter or none. I think our feet
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; do alot less impact....
