Re: Stove cover
I have a 2007 170 Pop. Measurements for my stove cover are Length: 20 1/4 inches Width: 13 1/8 inches Height: 1 1/2 in front and 2 7/8 in back. The notch is on the right if you're standing in front of the stove. It runs from 2 1/4 to 2 7/8 from the front edge. I hadn't noticed before today but my cover is a bit warped but it still fits the alloted space just fine.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Modifications for Wheelchair Traveler
Sporsmobile has converted some vans with whelchair lifts. You can take a look at their site to see if any of their ideas might be useful for you. https://sportsmobile.com/conversion-type/mobile-disabled/ They seem to mostly use the Braun Under Vehicle lifts. https://www.braunability.com/us/en/mobility-products/wheelchair-lifts/under-vehicle-lift.html If they're compatible with what your OEM has already installed under your van, they'd give you a lot more inside room.

AdventurerW, Don't know how you (or your HOA) feel about going a bit longer, but Roadtrek offers both the CS and RS on an extended body Sprinter. XL Sprinter That gives you an 18 inch open storage area behind the rear couch. It may not sound like much but it would give you a spot to corral all of the stuff a family of five needs and free up space inside the main body of the van.546Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roadtrek window questions
In addition to the two side rear windows, my 2007 170 has a screened, opening window on the side door by the third passenger seat. There are two fans, the one on the roof and another over the stove. Either will pull a stiff breeze through the van. I've made reflectex pop-ins for the three upper windows but I find I use them more to block out cold air at night than heat during the day.538Views0likes0CommentsRe: Galaxy S4 downloading pictures-UPDATE

There are some reports that it works if you're running XP in a VM. Your handy tip for being sure my Samsung Tablet is awake before plugging it into my Ubuntu desktop works for me. I can read and write to both the intenal memory and an SD card. Thanks! Otherwise Ubuntu just sees my Tab as a music player.

It doesn't look like it's being developed anymore but you can still download it here and take it for a spin.347Views0likes0CommentsRe: Problem with Ubuntu
First run GParted to be sure you haven't accidently overwritten your Windows partition. GParted is usually removed as part of cleanup during a fresh Ubuntu install so you'll probably have to download and reinstall it. The Windows partition will most likely be /dev/sda2. It will be formatted ntfs and size should be pretty close to what you specified when you installed Ubunt. If the Windows partition looks okay your best bet is probably to use Boot Repair. You can find the documentation and instructions on how to use it here HTH. Good Luck!84Views0likes0CommentsRe: Win XP fan soured on MS
Sounds like you're making good progress, burlmart! A couple of thoughts for you: When it comes to booting from a live USB, not all brands are created equal. I've had good luck with San Disk and Kingston, not so good with PNY. I'm booting on various Dells, though so YMMV on Gateway or HP. Some Linux distros allow you to create a live USB with persistence which will do the same thing the Puppy save file does but on the USB drive itself. Have you tried Pen Drive Linux' Universal Installer?Pen Drive Installer They list Zorin as one of their supported distros. Or if you don't mind doing some work in terminal, you might be able to set up persistence yourself on a thumb drive by following the instructions about halfway down the page here Since Zorin is a Ubuntu/Debian variant, the same format should work. Good luck! :B332Views0likes0CommentsRe: Win XP fan soured on MS

Messed w/ it for a bit, but for all the trouble to set it so I can read it, I would prefer to have it savable on the hard drive in a partition. When you shut down Puppy it gives you the option of creating a save file on your Windows hard drive. If you do that it preserves all your personal settings, files you created and any programs you downloaded while you were running the live cd and they're there for you the next time you boot Puppy from the cd. The advantage of going this route is you don't have to putz around with partitioning or changing your mbr. You can read more about it here: Puppy Save File If you do decide to partition and install Puppy on your hard drive, don't forget to run defrag first.330Views0likes0Comments
