 Hi list, 

Not sure if I mentioned this yet. 

Two unexpected surprises from my recent upgrades.

Dennis installed two items basically as a kindness during the time the van was away.

One was the tire pressure read out system.  I said no to the install but he did it as a nice gesture.  I told him my wife would not want the extra info to keep track of.

Man was I wrong.  Heidi really enjoys knowing the pressures and keeping track of the temp and changes.  She lets me know at start up and during the trip and at the end.  The screen is easy to understand and it just works. 

I barely need my tire gage now, and the pressure is quickly checked at the start of every trip.

The other big surprise is that she loves the rear hitch.  She is fairly short and uses it like a step.  She finds it much easier to access the back of the van and also to clean the back when hatch closed.  Dennis actually recommended a matching step and I am looking forward to it.  The extra nice thing is that I like sitting in the back of the open hatch but it was challenging without a step.  I think you will find me there more often with dog and ukulele now that it is an easy place to sit comfortably.

Still getting his van in order but loving it more and more every day.
