Hi, after reading the Other Side of Life thread, got me thinking... Do any of you carry spare parts for your tug or van? We plan on taking spares of hoses, water and fuel pump, fan belts, spark plugs, etc, just things that Les can replace himself if we are in the middle of nowhere. I know it means more weight...
