If the line shorted with the fuse near the house battery, the...

    Protecting yourself

    Hi all vandwellers. You can see I'm new to the forum and I have read all 15 pages and many many post. One subject not broached is the matter of weapons while traveling.

    Walmart sells "van floor cloth mats" that roll out to 36"X72." Cut them to fit each side window. The material will fasten to Velcro allowing ez dropping or removal.
