Re: Finally found our rig.
Couldn't be happier that you ended up with the van, but I will miss it!
I see from the photo that you figured out how to turn the passenger chair around; I realized I had forgotten to show you...

Re: Theres gotta be a trick. . .
Does Quadvan use the same components as Sportsmobile?
I have tried every combination and contortion to shift the transfer case, and it is just plain a stiff mother.

Re: Battery - I hardly knew ye
Thanks Dave, for the reasons you explain, I decided to only charge the battery once a month or so. I will monitor the voltages and charge more closely than I have previously. . .

Re: Battery - I hardly knew ye
Yes, I would plug the van in, turn on the breaker and just kind of poke around the van to see that everything was ship shape. . . Next day turn off 30 amp main breaker and unplug.
