Hey All,
        I'm about to set off on my first real camping trip in a vanagon
(I've been camping for years in splitties).I'm off to Somerset Wisc. for a
long weekend to see Phil Lesh and friends and String Cheese Incident.I've
done alot of work to my 89 Westy and I'm confident in it's performance.In
the last few months I've rebuilt the brakes , flushed and
 bleed the cooling system, exhaust seems ok., tuned her up, she runs very
well, I've got the fridge to work on all three settings etc etc...However
I'll admit my ignorance to these waterboxers and wondered if anybody has a
list of parts which they carry with them on road trips which a weekend
warrior,like myself, could use in a pinch ? (ie. I'm not going to rebuild
the heads on the side of the road)
        Thanks in advance !!!

Some creature comforts I've added since buying the "bus".
1)additional fuse panel under sink
2)12v hella marine fan over bed and one in front cab
3)12v. light in rear hatch area and in one in the upper bunk
4) Ritchie marine compass on dash, which I wired it's light to the headlight
switch
5) Aiwa c.d./ mp3 player and new speaks
6)12v. accessory plug ins in sink cabinet
more to come....

I'm planning a Chicago to Seattle(Olympic Park)camping trip this August.
Any cool camp grounds any of you know of in the great state of Washington ??
