Good luck on your journey. Zoltan is right. Though there are plenty of mechanics and shops around, nobody is going gong to know your van like you do. So you are in a sense, all alone. If you tended to every thing befor departure, chances you will have a trouble free trip. Just do your routine maintenance as you go and you should be ok. Longest trip for me so far was the leg from Anchorage to Birmingham in my old '85 GL - 4500 miles. NO problems at all on the journey until 60 miles out of Birmingham, and the water pump went out. Had to be towed that last 60 miles. Frustrating. But that pump had 200,000 miles on it so it all was forgiven. Good journey and fair weather to you.
