Westfalia / Re: Westfalia Weekender aux battery, upgrades, solar, etc thread.

Thank you, SWSL. Just the sanity check of the lights gets me a long way. I've looked under the seat, just to visually inspect and make sure it's not a 25 year old mess of corrosion, battery acid and tootsie roll wrappers. It was surprisingly clean and the battery appeared relatively new...just had no idea how to know if the basics were working or not.

Once I get my dash put back in place after rebuilding the blender box, I'll test the battery further and start lining out the upgrades. There's always something!

Great thread on all the mods, I'll get there someday.

For now, I want to check the factory setup of my new EV -- what's the best way to test to be sure it's all working as it should?

Starting from the basics:  When the ignition key is off or removed, can I assume the aux battery is working when the back internal lights work?  Beyond that, what's next?

Westfalia / Monstaliner Quantity?

Hello! I adopted my '93 Weekender (Evangeline) just a couple of months ago, your site has been a great help so far!!

I believe you've posted that you like the Monstaliner brand for bedliner paint. Can you tell me how much you'd use to cover things like bumpers and rocker panels? I plan on doing those, taking the paint up about 12" from the bottom of the rocker.

Also, any other notes or recommendations (number of coats, application oddities, etc)? Thank you!
