I am the proud new owner of a '91 Westy which my wife and I and my 2 1/2 year old daughter will be using for an extended (~1 year) trip to Mexico, Belize and Costa Rica. I have several questions that I'd like to run by you folks. Please forgive me if they're stupid - I'm a new owner: 1. The fridge seems to work fine on battery power, but I can't seem to get it lit to run on propane. I follow the directions, and the blinking red light does indeed go out, but I never see the blue flame in the sight hole in the fridge. Am I doing something wrong? 2. What are the best floor mats to buy? 3. Where's the best source for small parts - I'm missing a few minor trim pieces (e.g., one curtain tie-back, some trim screws, etc.). 4. What consumables would you take on a trip of this duration - I'm planning to take a set of belts, some hoses (the ones that attach directly to the engine), fuel, oil and air filters, and a set of spark plugs. Anything else that I should bring along? 5. I will need to tow a light trailer. What's the best source for a trailer hitch? Additionally, I have a really nice flat bed trailer that tows great, but I'm having trouble finding a 4x8 waterproof box to go on it. Any recommendations for such a thing, or can someone recommend a good, light trailer to buy? If you wouldn't mind, could you please CC your response to me (dtanzer@compuserve.com), as I haven't subscribed to the list (three weeks 'til departure and no time to read all the wonderful items on this list). Thanks in advance, David Tanzer
