I am hoping that I will get my van ready for the summer...
Changed the fuel lines today, and still trying to get to the figure out issues wt engine/coolant temp, and am hoping that I can get it ready in a month....anyway.
I started a mental list of the tools, spare parts and other useful things I should have in the van when I do take my this thing on my first real trip.
I figure some of you are probably pros at knowing what one should have in case of a problem....
so here is goes....
What do you keep in your van (tools and such)?
