In getting ready for the season's first spring camping trip, and reading tips from the list for the past year, I was wondering what is on YOUR mechanical checklist for bringing a Vanagon out for a 24 hour roadtrip? There's been much interest in preventive maintenance lately, instead of bringing every conceivable replacement part, so what would you tell a newbie to check mechanically before taking such an adventure with a family? In case you're interested this will be the "first" official trip of such distance, so any reassurance for my wife will be greatly appreciated!
