Memory foam might be fine if you stay in the warm parts of Texas. But in cold weather it turns into a rock, conforming to only the body part that is in contact to warm it up. Every time you move in...

Battery placement?

1dr , can you be more specific about just where the battery is located? How is “under the floor” different from the standard spot beneath the van behind the rear axle?

Thanks for that, Pntymvr! I would post a lot more on this forum if it wasn’t for the clunky format. And I am sure a whole lot of others feel the same, especially new users.
