[VAC] Re: The Plan



 
Absolutely!!!!  Why not?  As long as you are up on your maintenance you should have no problem.  We took ours about 3000 miles or so this summer with no trouble.  I also have a 1967 VW camper that I would drive across the country today with no trouble.  The secret?  Preventive maintenance...once things are fixed you just need to keep up with the little things that go wrong.  To me that is the fun part AND I know my trailer inside out.  If something goes wrong I can pretty much pinpoint it quickly because through preventitive maintenance I KNOW that trailer.  They really are pretty simple things that are just a serious of systems...pretty simple systems at that.  That being said when my univolt went out this past spring I did not try and fix it, I replaced it.  Costs more yes BUT I don't have to worry about that system anymore (knock on wood).
