TheWizardOfWhimsy:
I have yet to check my house battery. I know it is a pain to reach. I assume it will die in a couple of years or sooner, and I will just replace it. I suppose there is a more compulsive alternative, but I am already compulsive enough, and will just keep a volt meter handy to measure voltage when it isn't charging. I had a fantastic fan installed where the vent is on the roof. It really makes a difference when I don't want to run the generator. I also installed an aftermarket stereo, and I am not finished with that. Just got the tires balanced at Discount tire with a lifetime balance feature for $90 (includes rotation). My ride got a little "lumpy" after a few thousand miles. My trip starts Friday. I'll make a couple of inputs while gone (especially if I get the software to hook my laptop to my cell phone).
I am excited for your acquisition. Aren't toys that we can justify for business purposes wonderful!
