I-80 NJ to CO in about 30 hours, only stopping to refuel, never shutting
the engine off with fears of not being able to restart it (hot start
problem).  Towing a 2000 lb trailer, canoe on roof, dogs and cats roaming
in the cabin, hot weather, thunderstorms galore.  Max speed about 55 mph,
min speed about 20 mph up hills.  I consider it dumb luck that the van
made it.
