A Simpler Explanation Of The Measurement Of ONE HORSE POWER

The consumer does not design the dern thing. We just buy what we can afford, from whatever is available, that will do the job. For the best Dutch Star DP that I could afford, I paid extra for the engine option with the most torque. The Spartan chassis has worked out well. Too bad the roof design was so substandard. The failed roof really did a number on the ceiling. I'm not complaining because everyone, right away, tells me it's my fault. So, whenever I get to check out a new ALL-electric DP wannabe, I'll thoroughly study the design of the roof FIRST!
