Default re: spares

When Western Command did it's Freedom Route trip back in 2005 we had two 15cwt cmps along for the 1000 km trip. Fortunately both were Chevs so the only repair we had was one brake cylinder. Most of the vehicles in the convoy carried the small bits for parts; plugs,coil,duct tape,belts,lubricants,u-joints,liquid gasket,duct tape,etc.

Because this was an organized club event for the vets we got support from Veteran Affairs and that enabled us to get a commitment from BCAA (automobile assoc) to provide free towing to a repair facility anywhere on the trip. It was a nice bit of assurance but was never used.

When I was in France last year for the Voie de la Liberte trip I was amazed at the support the European clubs bring. The Belgian's had there own breakdown truck with gantry, generator and welder. Good thing as it was needed!
