<  I used some of the new silicone self-curing tape on the split
plastic tube SNIP -I'm sure there are a lot of problems it won't fix, but
it's right up there with duct tape and baling wire in
my book!

I'd add JB "Quick Weld"  to that must have list.  My coolant level sensor
cracked and spewed coolant on the last camping trip.  I cursed leaving JB
Weld home, but it was fate, I found JB Quick Weld with a much shorter
curing time.  I filled the inside of the sensor, put a spring clamp on
that I had for tarp duty, put it in the sun on the dash board and went
swimming for a couple of hours.  Held on the way home a few trips around
since then!
