Chris, IMHO .... "1. What speed is recommended for cruising?" I'd keep the RPM's down to 3200 - 3400
"3. In a worst case scenario, does anyone know of a good VW shop in the Chattanooga area? " I'd do three things for the areas you will be traveling thru; - Print out the VW shop info from: http://www.roadhaus.com/shops.html - Print out the contact info from A.I.R.S.: - Print out the contact info from Vanagon Rescue Squad: http://www.vanagonauts.com/?catid=74 Stuff all three in your glove box and the road gods will be with you ;)
