    Wait till Sunday and grab a major cities newspaper. BestButt, cirKut city, KompUSA & the DEll flyers ALWAYS have their "loss leaders" in the sunday inserts. No reason to buy used when you can get new for 400 and up.

    I'd give KVH TracVision A5 a good look. Had mine for a year and very pleased. Prices are down $250 from when we purchased ours. Plus,a very simple installation it would be, in a van. If you've got DIRECTV at home , the charge is only $4.99 per month.

    OOIDA

    I'll put my funds in AARP. Thats an organization which will impact us to a far greater degree than OOIDA ever will. I've watch'd OOIDA in action over the years and not too teribly impressed. AARP has "real world" benifits on and off the road.
