Otmar and I are waiting for delivery of three units; one for me
and two for him.

Avcon is a very small company and has had a few hiccups getting the
PowerPak to market.  They had to wait for UL Laboratory stickers,
and apparently don't have all the configurations ready that were
originally advertised.  I hear indirectly that they may be making
a few changes to the electronics associated with turning on the
required ventilation fan (if flooded batteries are being used).  I
am using AGMs (Optimas), so that doesn't matter to me.

I originally ordered a rear-mount inlet but it seems they aren't
ready yet so I changed my order to side-mount.

So I'm waiting anxiously to get my PowerPak and Inlet.  There's a
240-volt outlet in my garage also waiting.  I'll let the List know
as soon as I get them.
