I have to add one item:

phone numbers of your favorite vanagon parts houses. Know how hard it is
to get a fuel pressure regulator in Yellowstone? (thank god for fellow
vanagon phreaks in the campground that swarm around when you start working
on the engine....).  I was about to call up ken wilford and have him fed
ex me (to yellowstone general delivery...) a FPR.

cheers
