Thanks for your replies.  Please notice I said I seldom used it.  I did so
seldom precisely because I KNEW the repercussions.  OTOH, I've been pouring
money into my van since I bought it because the two POs were inept and had
a lot of money.  It was a triage situation. My biggest worry with it was
not that it would eat itself but that it may stop working while open.  The
two POs spent lots on upgrades and repairs but didn't have a need/desire to
truly provide SaL her due love.  The last PO in fact, John Waldon of CT
namely, is a lying SoB.  Told me SaL was road ready but she wasn't even
safe to drive.
