I'll toss a spare alternator in the van, since that seems to be the most
frequent Burning Man vehicular nightmare (dont know why, no good reason for
it). There's usually a VW camp (you can find them on the map given out at
the entrance) where, not surprisingly, you can find mechanics. I've had
assistance from them in past years with other vehicles (RVs rented by
friends, mostly). If anyone gets into a jam with a VW, that's obviously the
place to go.

In my asking around, someone else told he always ties a tarp to cover the
underside of his van to keep some of the dust from encrusting the parts
closest to the ground.
