Yes of course they will find help in some way or another. Their karma is
clearly strong after 2 years of traveling in their Westy from Argentina
to Alaska. They stayed with me and Anne on their way up earlier this
year. Now they have finally reached Alaska and are turning for home
soon. They have had various repairs along the way, driving over 55,000
kms or so. Some of the repairs were fairly third world.

Here is their blog. There is a translate button at the top.

I already suggested to them that they do the work at or near an auto
parts store since that is what I do when on the road with mechanical issues.
