Thanks Mark ... that's a big part of the answer I've been looking for.
Still, looking for the bit about how I can get the panel to activate
though. I realize, from the VW manual, that the water level section of the
panel deactivates when the water level goes below specific amount and as I
haven't tested and filled the water tank yet I don't expect it to be active
but the battery level indicators should be working.

thanks again for you input Mark, it really helped.

peace

Anyone who votes for the B.C. Liberals in the upcoming Provincial election
will, in my eyes, be displaying a severe character flaw ... those who are
left to support Gordon Campbell's government are running purely on pride
and ego ... this government has displayed so many flaws that it would be
just too embarrassing at this point for their supporters to admit that they
actually voted for these people.
