Check:
Belts,
for bugs,
or other small critters,
your occasional hibernating hippie,
fuel lines (most definately),
fridge (if Westy.. and don't forget to coever your mouth if you
realize that, right before you did store the van, that you had
left a ham sandwhich in there....),
glove box (for that missing twenty you swore you had that night
you stored the van),
smurfs (don't ask someone mentioned it to me....)
anyone else have anything else to check?
OH, you might want to check the gas tank; if it wasn't emptied,
dump that gas, as it will be bad or just a tad below norm now.
If it was empty, you might have to watch out for any
accumalation of water. If the battery was sitting, you might
want to re-charge it over night. Sometimes they hold their
charge sometimes they don't.. ANyone else?
