\"VanI wish to thank all of those readers who have expressed their concerns over the loss of my van last Sunday to the engine fire.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The old van now has a new home in a junkyard somewhere in Texas<\/strong>, and I now have a new(er) van sitting in my driveway with seriously less mileage and years than the old van had on it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new van is a late model Chrysler Town & Country mini-van with a factory installed alarm<\/strong>, dark limo tinted windows, sliding doors on both sides, and more option packages than I’m normally used to having.\u00a0 At first, I was concerned\u00a0about the black exterior causing the van to be too hot, but actually, it hasn’t been any hotter than my old van got on a summer day. Guess that’s why I always\u00a0put that window shade in the front\u00a0 windshield when not driving.\u00a0 Those shades really work!<\/p>\n

I sent out tweets and emails<\/strong> to various groups and individuals asking for input \/ suggestions on the best way to install the antenna in this type of vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\nSeveral\u00a0reasonable suggestions were received and considered.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n
