Glad to hear everything is healthy again. Now, if I could just get everything around my house in good working order, we would both be in good shape.

The charging side of the regulator was not working. It would not throw the light on, I guess, because the discharge was so minor. It was purchased in July, that's why it was the last thing I checked. When I took it off the bus, and didn't see the discharge light on, when it was on the beetle, I assumed it was working. The armature went bad on the bus and I think blew the regulator when it did. Anyway, my family is now healthy again and looking for a trip, soon. Thanks for checking on it. Brent
