Hi guys!
Iīve been reading through a lot of replys with a lot of good tips on what to
bring!
One question to the guys who want to bring the holy book:
Do you feel that itīs extra neseccery to bring this in a Vanagon???
The reason I ask is that I - even though not being religous myself, other than
having the faith in that my Vanagonīs gonna take me wherever I wanna go- have
some friends whoīre religious and they never bring their bibles- no matter what
transportation!- since they know that theyīre always able to find some at the
local churc if they really need the advice from the book!
And since you mentioned the Bently as an alternative, I know that itīs not that
bible!!
Well, itīs a free choice I guess , so some kind of litterature would probably be
on my list too, since IF the Vanagon decides to cheat on me, Iīll have something
to do while itīs mending!
YES, I suppose it to take care of whatever harm it does to itself!
And if this shouldnīt happen well, I guess that a toolbox wouldnīt be totally
wrong even if what Iīve experienced this far the main use for this is to lend
tools to other people since the Vanagon actually has fixed itself so far.
( the only real problem being the infamous "Digifant stutter" wich as you know
only requiers an ignitionkey "off/on" -touch wood)
Ok, there we have two things :
#1 A good book ( why not a manual or a "How to survive..." book - or maybe a
Steven King if you have a breakdown in the middle of the night, could be
interesting reading under a fading flashlight!!!!)
#2 A well filled toolbox - no, dont bring the complete SNAP-ON kit,just the
nessecities plus some spare parts (s.a. fanbelt,lightbulbs,some electrical vire
and a bolt/nut assortement)
But what for number three?
Well, I guess that depends on weather conditions,a beverage cooler in the
summer, shovel/ snow chains in the winter, a big Iīm a man, not a moose sign
during huntingseason a raincoat and a towingrope if itīs wet...............I
guess Iīll leave that up to you to decide!
But okay, if you go camping, my third choice would probably be a hatchet and a
box of matches!!!
Good luck!
