Wow! Same itinerary. Funny coincidence.  Maybe we should start a convoy.

  In a few weeks, I�ll be spending close to 2 months traveling in my Westy. Heading to Florida, and then across the south through New Orleans, into Austin and then to southern Arizona, so temps should be cool to moderate.  Suggestions for �must have� spare parts or emergency road gear?  I am not an experienced mechanic, so looking for emergency fix kind of stuff to get me to a mechanic. Indeed I have a metric tool kit, fire extinguisher, Bentley book, jumper cables, first aid kit, and will have a set of belts as well.

  Thanks,
