Other RV Builders Emails Every once in a while, an RV Builder out there will have a brilliant epiphany or will share their building experiences that did or did not turn well. I decided to save this info into a searchable database. Here are the email groups that I am a member of: RV Email Lists - Matronics, Rivet Bangers - RV Information Exchange, Yahoo - RV7A & 9A, Van's Air Force, Website and Forum. Feel free to look around.

Do they prewire? Vans value added when purchasing avionics - RE: - View Thread Nope, in fact Van's is very rarely even close to being cheapest on pricing for anything electrical, ACS is also notoriously high on avionics. For good deals and great service there are a few well known shops. Perhaps the most widely known shop for avionics is stark avionics. Also, Van's/ACS/Chief/Wicks are nearly twice as high as other outlets for wire, hardware, etc..
