Bab: EO is an Open Forum where we are never burdened with details. We discuss issues ad nauseum, go off topic and beat an issue to death, then move on to a new topic and return to old topics again and again. We each learn from the experience and from the thoughts of others. We would not...

The Fantastic rain sensor has an on off switch and the unit is also thermostatically controlled, if you desire. I have no comment on the Maxxair as I've never seen one; I'd like to.

If the QC is on, it will often drain your battery overnite. I the QC is off, no harm. Some isolators have a small draw on your battery. Your dome light could be the culprit. An old battery in the cold weather could be weakened. Check your ground wires.

As Linder mentioned, I have Fan-tastic vent fans on my current van and have had them on the last four vans. A great product for vent hot air in an idle van or for moving air around if you have a source of fresh air. I've bought three Fan-tastic vent from the good folks at the following place...

One of the most sacred tenets of the Fifth Estate is that the reporter should never be involved in the story that is being reported. That is why they will film a burning vehicle rather than lift a hand to help douse the flames; that is why they will tell the story of an old lady crossing the...

The conditions facing the soldiers, sailors and airmen undergoing treatment at Walter Reed, Bethesda and any other military hospital is the fault of the military and the military mentality, not necessarily the remainder of the Executive Branch nor the Congress. The members of our military have...

Simon, et al: FedEx Custom Critical, to the best of my limited knowledge, allows tractors and cabs of straight trucks to be painted other than white; however, they DO NOT allow vans, boxes of straight trucks, or trailors to be any color but white.

Glen and Janice Rice are two of expediting's finest people and are deserving of all of our prayers. Together, we can help them through this tough battle. Best wishes and prayers Glen Terry and Rene'
