This is dedicated to those who quiver at the thought of driving
their Vanagon beyond the state lines:

1300 miles with a trailer in the mountains and nothing broke.
I was pulling a 300 lbs trailer behind my '84 Westy the whole
way and didn't see any smoke.  Lots of camping, steep climbs,
and wonderful sights over 5 days.  I  passed lots of Chevys,
Fords, and even a Honda, or three, on the highways.  My tools in
the trailer and the knowledge in my head were my insurance
policy - enough said.

Life is great.
