Supplementary to south bound

i recommend Premium RV BCAA (this also offers you certain refundable expenses you might suffer if your trip is stopped beyond your control ) not sure if basic offers that) Printed list of VW friendly repair shops and Printed List of phone numbers of VW Parts places along purposed route Beef up your ICBC insurance to include rental car and hotel if required ... health insurance (BCAA health insurance might be best )

small reserve in credit or cash to repair in case of massive failure ... this may prove important if your bank only allows 500 a day cash withdrawal ... if you have a 1500 $$ expense you will be there two more days to complete the payment

moreover make sure your bank card is interact ready ... some places do not have machines that will talk to your bank -- get your american $$ in your pocket before you go

regards
