Funny, keeping warm isn't a major task here in Phoenix. I'm
more concerned with the 115 degree days when the inside of the van is 160 to 180
and I will need to transfer to the driver's seat after I enter and close the
doors. A power failure will turn me into a mere grease stain on the
carpet. Oh well, that's part of the price for dancing too close to the
fire. I'd have been a pretty miserable and unfulfilled wallflower
though. "Nice and easy" just isn't in my genes. (And yes, I passed
them on 3 times.) M2HOF,
Dave

You may also consider getting an automatic starter. That way you
can have the van running and warming up before you get into it. Also
that way you won't be pulling off the battery too hard when using your
lift. They are only about 50 bucks,
Just a thought,

That is great news Dave. Good luck with the van. I'm sure
everything will work out just fine. I hope that you put a blanket and
gloves in there for warmth just in case. As far as the battery goes,
I'm sure you have thought of carrying a set of jumper cables with you.
I was told to carry cables that are lass than 8 gauges.
Happy driving,
Stacy

I drove my van for the 1st time today. I had a transfer seat,
hand controls, and door opener installed. The xfr seat is a bit
awkward to use but the other stuff is way cool. It goes up/down,
back/fwd, and turns up to 90 degrees. Sliding over and back is a
pain but my driving will be the exception anyway. I don't mind being
chauffeured. There are 4 magnetic switches in my tail light housing
to operate the door and lift. Up, Down, Stow, and
Close. A battery is now much more critical to my survival - oh
joy. More mechanical crap that can kill me. Stranded in a dark
van in June, July, or August in Phoenix is no place to be. I'll be
keepiong my cell phone very handy from now on.
