For only eight weeks you don't have to do much. Disconnect the battery cable if the van won't be driven, otherwise the clock will run down your battery. Take out any food if you don't want mice. > Does it matter whether I leave her with a full gas tank, empty, or > in-between? Full is best -- less room for condensation. You might want to add some Sta-Bil to the tank before topping it off, so the gas won't go bad; but for only eight weeks it probably isn't essential.
