I just got back from a 4,200 mile trip to Newfoundland and have two pieces
of advice.  First pay a little extra and get AAA Plus which covers a
100-mile towing.  The added peace of mind is worth it and it came in handy
for me when I couldn't shift into 3rd or 4th gear.  Second, make sure your
gear linkages are greased sufficiently.  Had my mechanic noticed this, I
don't think I would have broken down.  Other than that, enjoy the trip and
don't worry.  The Westy is happiest when on the open road.
