Yes,

        I’ll start with some local assistence.  I plan to use mostly for the van and if I advance beyond that it would be low voltage. 

I don’t think anything electrical on the van will do me serious harm with this.  I just hope I can access all the info.

It was recommended on a site for the visually impaired by some blind geeks so I’m hopeful.
