I bet we've logged over 15,000 miles in our 67 camper and that was the first time we were ever stranded completely, luckily we had good friends(Terry, Theresa and Larry) with spare towed buses behind us but it does make you realize you do need spare parts- and lots of them. - Steve won't read these, he has to work at least til dec.19th and then we're off the rest of the year. We plan on leaving for Big Bend the day after Christmas. Terry we'll need you to follow us with a parts bus. _____ From: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of TheresaBuckner@xxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 11:11 PM To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: just in case parts Steve What is it you plan to carry in your (extra ) box ??? maybe a rear trans. shift coupler or complete spare bus ??
