I have noticed a lot of people have bought new toys and are planning long trips in these things to get them home. If it has not been done before I thought it would be wise to make a list of spare parts and supplies to help make the trip a success.
First off I noticed an automotive section at a home depot the other day and in it was one gallon jugs of GL1 for under $4.00. If you doesn't get you excited you should do a lot of research before you try to drive a deuce several hundred miles
My list always includes:
GL1
Motor oil
Duct tape
Water
Tie wire
Big hammer
Lug wrench
Big jack
All the spare parts I can carry like:
Hoses
Belts
Light bulbs
Hose clamps
Wiper blades
Don't forget a good rain coat, you may need it in the cab if you drive in the rain. Take all the tools you can carry.
Please add what you find helpful and I hope some of the newbies will pay close attention. Also make sure you know how to operate the lights before hitting the road. I make my first trip with not lights because I didn't know you had to switch on the brake and turn signals.
