Picking up a mail-order bride this weekend. She's an 84 Jamboree with 40k miles on a Ford 460/E350 chassis. She comes with some great pictures and a fairly detailed inspection report, but... plenty of potential issues with a 30-year old storage queen. I'm flying in to pick her up Saturday AM then plan to drive 500 miles home. Mostly flat but it's a long trip for a first date.
I'll buy some basic tools and supplies (fuel filter, hoses, & clamps, light bulbs, duct tape, gas can, etc.) to cover simple roadside repairs. Other than checking the tire date codes, are there other "Must Do" items to check before hitting the road?
For the price I would think about a roadside service contract with one of the two big ones. Good Sam or Coach net. At under $100.00 per year Wise investment in case you get a flat, need a tow etc.
