IDI South Bound!
Well folks in 2 days, we'll be loaded up, and we are Florida bound! 
Finally finished fixing up what needed attention on the camper, I still don't have a tranny cooler on it....
The one I wanted is out of stock after a second phone call, and will be a week before getting another one, so can't wait, I got 1 more place to go see tomorrow, place called Performance Radiators. And if they don't have something that will be good for me, off I go without one, I'll get one along the way in the States, alot cheaper there anyways
We'll be zig zagging down to Florida, and come back up by the east coast all the way back up.
Only got a month this year. We should be doing around 8-10k km (5-6k miles) in 4 weeks.
We'll be cruising at 55mph this year, just to try and see how much mpg we gain from previous years of 60mph.
I hope everyone has a nice summer!
Oh, and if anyone by any chance gets stuck behind us on a hill, don't be shy to give a push!
-- And since we'll be in the sunny rust free belt.... we'll be on the hunt for a parts truck for a real mint cab If i'm lucky enough to find a whole truck, I'll rent a flat bed U-haul for a 1 way trip, and tow it back up here!

Well now the "power" has never been impressive, but the reliability never failed me
Most likely be going through both Carolinas, Ohio, not sure, depends witch route we take.
I'd like to go through PA as the IDI Rally will be going on over from Oilburners, and if I follow I-81 down PA I'll drive right by it, so i'm gonna stop in for a day if we do.
