Ron,  I am one of the   mechanically inept who has been inquiring about installation, so I  look forward to your description when it is available.

I read your writeup  on installing a second battery at the Vanagon.com website.  It is so clear it makes me almost think I could do it!

However,  the New York Time�s  Book of Home repair once had me convinced I could unclog a sink, but forgot to tell me to put a bucket under it to catch the water when I unscrewed the drain pipe �so I know better.  I am checking with a local VW specialist to see if he will do it for me, and plan to  mention your writeup to him.

If I can find a local RV shop in the Boston area that will install the Propex, I will try to do the same with your forthcoming description, if you don�t mind.

It is good to know the Propex has worked well for you. I have enjoyed my Westy so much I want to keep using it year round and  the Propex sounds like one of the best choices for keeping it warm safely.
