I spend about CDN$3,500 in service in anticipation of
the  10,000 kms we did this summer and then over 1,000
kms from home:  1) a wheel bearing went out, 2)
alternator died, 3) Fridge on propane quit, 4) the
odometer quit.  Expect the unexpected.

Take the list of recommended repair shops (do a google
search) and take any small parts and tools that you
can DIY.  Good luck on your trips.  M
