Lindaf, Yes, we will be traveling in a minivan. Should be interesting with 3 adults, 3 dogs and a w/c. My son helped me modify my tippy chair so I could move with the back slightly reclined. The factory setting was set tilted too straight up for me so we tipped the controller. It evidently has a gravity activated limiter so we tipped the limiter. I tried tipping it while parked pointed up my front ramp and found I couldn't tip back forward enough to move off the ramp. I'm glad my son was there to lift the back of the chair off the ground so I could reengage the drive controls. It's always good to experiment with a friend - this includes trips on 'new' paths around your neighborhood. azdave _http://www.users.qwest.net/~daveoc/Rtippy-mod.JPG_ (http://www.users.qwest.net/~daveoc/Rtippy-mod.JPG) In a message dated 6/28/2011 3:21:14 P.M.

Hey Dave, You had an old w/c van that went to the dump? Looks like someone would have bought the lift. Are you gonna make your cross country trip in your mini van? That should be soon, right? Good luck on your travels & a safe trip.

(my friend said, 'shut up' and be glad the mechanics are good - it still sits on my patio - airing out). the van deal never saw any real cash and has gone away - easy come, easy go, evidently no one needs a w/c van here in Feenix. the picture is of an indoor / outdoor thermometer I stuck in my home a/c vent - I've seldom seen the vent temp above the room temp except when the unit 1st starts up. at least we never have snow. :-) azdave _http://www.users.qwest.net/~daveoc/june24-ac.jpg_ (http://www.users.qwest.net/~daveoc/june24-ac.jpg)
