OK, I'm having my first 'adventure' in a while...

'84 Westy 1.9
I5 Exit 119 Ft Lewis in Washington @ 76 station
Battery/Oxy lights came on during freeway drive, began to lose headlights &
other electrics, pulled into service station and it won't turn over.

It looks like I'll need to have the thing pulled to a local mechanic, any
suggestions in this area?

I also seem to remember a Vanagon emergency list, but not enough details to
know how to access the list.  What is the web page of that list?  Any info
is much appreciated.

When those lights come on, is that likely to mean a new alternator or...?  I
don't have any experience or an electrical test kit, so I'd probably need
the mechanic to tell me which part is bad anyway.  But it would be nice to
save money.

Anyway, thanks in advance for the help.
