Hi Bitty:  I too am working with a minivan, so thanks for the heads up about potential 'reflectix slides'.  I guess I'll try cutting just one and see how it goes instead of cutting all at once and ending up wasting resources.  I don't want to use velcro, it ends up getting nasty at some point...

Hi Lady Arabella:  Your reply about fabric on one side leads me to another question:  is there a lot of condensation after a night spent in the van (assuming the windows are all shut tight), so much so that the reflectix needs to be wiped down in the am?  Seems like the best of both worlds would...

Hello Back, BlackNBlue.  Yes, Sonoma County is nice, and actually green right now.  Thanks for the heads up on who to watch out for.  My sons live in Santa Cruz and it's a whole  more relaxed there.  Safe travels!

When someone says about an electrical appliance, "it draws about 3 amps of power at 12 volts" , does that mean it uses 3 amps in one hour?  Thank you and Good Nite!!

Hello!  What's that thing under the hood that diverts (?) some of the charge to the house battery as the vehicle is driving - a selenoid?  Is it always charging the house battery while driving or does it have a switch to charge the house battery only when you want it to?  I ask because I...

I'm wanting to cover the windows of my minivan with Reflectix.  I understand I can buy it at Lowes/Home Depot.  I also see some folks use a matching tape?  To keep the snaggled cut ends in check?  What about closeness to the interior side of the car window.  Does it work better with an air gap...

Hello to you too, my vantasy.  When I was a little girl, my parents, who originally hailed from Michigan, used to take us on vacation in the summer from our home state of NJ to Put-in-Bay, OH.  Good memories!! Lisahi

Thank you rvwandering.  I like the advise to choose one forum and stick to it for now.  It's easy to get lost when there are so many new cool things to consider.  And again, I'm so appreciative of folks' helpfulness with advise.  The best!! Lisahi

Ah, Queen!  Truer words were never spoken!!  I kiddingly accused my son the other day of trying to "crush my dreams" because he was not happy with my 'sell-out' to the cushy life.  I assured him I'd still be up for he and his siblings to drag me all over God's green earth, but sometimes, a lady...

Thanks Popeye!  I'll just roll up me sleeves and get to it! Lisa

Hi Back Nicole:  I checked out your van - beautiful - just the sort of inspiration I need.  Can you stand up straight in your van?  I've decided that is defintely on my Must Have list.  But as I said, this whole thing is going to take some time, and I'm totally in on enjoying the ride!  Happy...

Hello All! My name is Lisa and I am from the North Bay area of San Francisco.  While I am not yet a full time RV dweller, I am planning and preparing to be able to take long road trips at will.  I have learned so much from this website (thanks Bob and all involved), and look forward to learning...
