Subject:      What to do if you're really stranded in a Vanagon
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

What to do if you're really stranded in a Vanagon, far from home and cannot
effect repairs.


Once when traveling with my wife and 3 little people from Grand Junction
Colorado to home in San Diego in my '87 GL, it started doing the Digifant
dive.  Lurch, cough, blah.  You haven't lived until you coast deadstick to
the side of I-70 in Utah FAR from ANYTHING with your family of 5, on a 100
degree summer day.  Not even cellphone coverage.  This was my first
experience with this kind of glitch, and I was clueless.  Fortunately I was
able to get it to the next town (Salina).  This is what you do.  Get ahold
of a Uhaul and TOW DOLLY and you are set.  Expensive save, but it's just a
good thing to remember...
