yes the remote starter would be cool, but also another electric gizmo to
strand me when it fails. the dual battery does sound like a good idea
though. dave

OK, then with the automatic starter, the air can be going by the time you
get in as well as the battery has less of a chance of pooping out if the van
is running when using the lift. Again just a thought,

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.
