New Vintage Bird Owner First Post

[Pete Masterson]

American Express, Visa, and MasterCard... Plan to Visit a Walmart
soon after picking up your 'bird for those "must have" items. Good
Sam Emergency Road Service or CoachNet (either directly or through
FMCA) are both good choices for towing and other emergency help. I
have the Good Sam ERS (you have to be a Good Sam member).

A '68 is pretty old, so there could be some "issues" ... you'll need
pillows, sleeping bags, etc. 600 miles will probably require at least
one night on the road (but some with tougher composition than myself,
might do 600 miles in one day). I've gone that far ... but prefer to
limit myself to 300 to 400 miles per day. It also depends on which
direction you're coming from...
