Alfred, I picked up the same one on e-bay. I guess we both get to find out how well this one works!

Great, Tim!

Just gotta figure out how to wire it up. Did yours come with directions? I emailed AMERICAN but they did not respond. All I have to go by is the Specs link I posted above. Gotta long ways to go before I need to use it, actually. Need to build the cab first!

Hey Alfred, This is what I found:

Sorry But I don't know how to shorten the URL's.

Wow, Tim!

You did good! Now we got manuals!

BTW, I use Mozilla Firefox almost exclusively now, didn't care for the new MS-Explorer. I was able to download their Google URL shortener, which fits right into the Firefox browser. I would think there would be an MS-Explorer version, too.

Regardless, who cares about the long URL's, now we got manuals!

Thanks!

Alfred, Your welcome. I'm pretty good about finding cool stuff online. After all I found this forum! One of the coolest!

Wow!

I don't know if finding this forum was such a good thing!

I mean there was a time in my life, hardly rememberable now, when I did not know about teardrop campers, did not think of them all the time, did not go over and over potentialities and plans in my head, didn't daydream about my build, didn't search craigslist and ebay and HF for teardrop building tools and supplies...Its a pathology! I'm afflicted and obsessed!

And I don't think there's a cure! I thought building one would cure it and I could just go camping, but some of the old-timer's here have told me that building one just leads to another. I already find myself thinking, "If I don't do that for this one, maybe I can do it for the next build..."

Help! (Grin)
