Power Tour "Roadtrip Kit" Includes …

[White Monster]

Since some of the other Freaks are taking care of keeping track of who is registered for PT08, where they are staying and what routes they are taking to get there and back, I thought I would maintain a thread primarily for the “newbie” first timers regarding tools, spare parts and safety equipment (veterans probably already have all this stuff anyhow, but I’m sure they will contribute from their vast knowledge and experience, if anything has been omitted).
Note: I will amend this list from time to time, to include other contributions.

Documentation:
It's a given that you will ensure you have the following;
- Valid driver’s license (for every driver).

- Money and credit cards
- Rolls of nickels, dimes, and quarters for the toll roads.

- Water faucet key

Spare Parts:
- spare tire (inflated with good tread, full size if possible)
- new wipers and / or Rain-X
- engine belts (or a 3x5 card with the lengths of all your fanbelts. there are too many autozone/advance type places to justify carrying them, just know what you need, because they won't)

- light bulbs (headlight, taillight, brake & indicators)

- First Aid kit
- fire extinguisher
- Tow rope
- cell phone and charger
- handheld radio (walkie talkie)
- emergency telephone numbers
- GPS systems (for the hi-tech)
- Radar detector (know the laws, each state differs)

Other:
- Clothes (don't over-pack, get some on tour) Long Pants, Short Pants, Shirts, Underware, Socks, Shoes/Sandels, Light Jacket, belt, Hat, shower kit,
- Prescriptions
- Cell phone (don't forget the charger – also listed in Safety)
- Music (radio, tapes, CD's, etc.)
- Clip board for driving instructions
- Gallon or two of water
- Cleaning supplies & bucket (eg bug remover you know what you need)
- Sun glasses
- Sun screen
- Still or video camera (extra film, cds, sticks, etc.)
- Good folding chair (one per person)
- Blankets / Sleeping bags
- Cooler (with wheels and drain plug, makes a great seat, card playing table, or lunch table, stocked with ice, water, sodas, food, etc.)
- Umbrella (larger golf type, non-metal handle preferred)
- 10’x10’ Folding Canopy
- Large and small zip lock bags

Obviously, this is too much stuff for the average car to carry, so split it up between others, if you are traveling in a group. Otherwise, prioritize the best you can. And remember, when you pass someone pulled over, stop and see if they need any help. I remember laughing at a story a veteran Long Hauler told me, "I pulled over to have a pee, and twenty other cars stopped to help. Most of them also had a pee, while they were there".

;D

Good thread

[Bigbuds1]

Steve that's all good, but I'm not driving a 18 wheeler,,,,,,,,
The cooler is a given, the soft giveaway one from last year works well. Mine does not leak, and a space saver when not in use. Tire plugs, can of Fix a Flat, and hose repair kit are a must. At least one gallon of clean water, to drink if necessary, or for the radiator you just fixed with the hose repair kit. My thoughts,,,,,,,Buddy

[BluLightning]

All I'm bringing is a cooler. If that's well stocked, I won't care abou the rest. :o ;D

[Bigbuds1]

I wasn't gunna let the cat out of the bag,,,,,,,,I was already counting on your "big" cooler, Bob.

[White Monster]

Dude, if your cooler is "well stocked", then you will have all the help you need !!!

;D

[Solsticefun]

Boy!!! am I in trouble. :-[ I only have room for my cloths, and maybe a small cooler. Thank God for Triple A. ;D

[moparjim71]

We don't even have room for a spare tire. It came down to the tire or the cooler and the cooler wins. I figure a common size tire can be purchased almost anywhere if we need one. Next year we will be driving one of the Buicks with a nailhead and I will carry a water pump, alternator, starter, etc. as these are not always available.

[173rdherd]

if NAPA is gonna be on tour this year they can supply you with most anything you need delivered right to the venue or at the next one. i used them for several electrical and oilpan issues last year and they were great!! 8)

[CTX-SLPR]

If you are traveling with an enthusiast group or a pack of friends.... split the list. You only need what fits your car and your car only then share the tools, supplies, and equipment. I carried a lot of tools, I do have a Riviera after all, and last year I needed them when I blew a waterpump up in Peoria. There won't be a shortage of people with basic hand tools but if your car takes a sensor that's not common or goes out frequently (cam sensor on a Turbo Buick) or you want to carry the wiring stuff and a buddy packs the board and hammers... split it up.

[BluLightning]

Oh don't you worry it will be stocked with Miller Lite and Bud for you! ;D

[fine59]

I carry flat repair in cans, and I carry a spare but it would be only be used if we really needed to get car off highway.
I would like to leave spare at home.???

Bluecarguy (john) had so many spare parts with him he sent parts home on Tuesday.
He had a HEI distributor for one car and a carburetor for another.
John said at the start of the tour, that he was stopping for everyone that was broken down, we agreed, as did 1old goat and Joe/Mike, and it was ALOT of fun and it slowed us down enough to smell the Flumes. GOOD TIME

Dang Bob, I missed a chance to compare spare parts lists.

I traveled without a spare the last two years. I carry a 12 volt pump, flat tire in a can and plugs. Of course it takes me about an hour to get one of my rear tires off so I guess I have "motovation" to not have to do that too often.

[1956NY150]

Special wrench for Plugs, 2 allen wrenches for pulleys, wrench for adjusting valves/feeler gage, bottle jack, wheel lock socket, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8 sockets and wrenches, 10mm for calipers, 2 adjustable wrenches 8" 10", 1 or 2 alm jack stands? 12v test light, & multimeter. Spare Plugs. Spare Belt, Oil filter, Oil.

I am leaving power pack for jump starts home?

Chevy's are really easy to travel with for parts it makes you very spoiled.

[1cheapstreet]

bluecarguy (John) had a spare carb when we needed it last year, changed it out just off the interstate in Ill. :) orange95Z and zeeya (and friends) brought us a thermostat in a rain storm too! You really find out the true meaning of PT when you have trouble on the road.

for those of use with small trunks (have you ever seen the trunk in a 83' mustang coupe), it sounds like our Tour "Roadtrip Kit" needs to include everyone elses cell number.
i could say "since it's a mustang, we don't need to take anything because they don't break down", but i'm sure that would encourage the usual "found on road dead" remarks (go on, you know you were thinking it).

[cstmwgn]

You got to get your priorities straight

The trunk is for tools, parts and coolers - the important stuff.

The back seat, luggage rack, roof, hood or anywhere else can be used for the less important items such as clothes, snacks or swag. You will notice that I didn't degrade the importance of personal hygiene items.

80 Z-28 with a full spare left me with less room than that Ford. Been there done it. Best to travel with a group just in case. There is 6 in ours and we split it all up. I have run the Camaro, a 69 Vette and now a 95 vette for this year so I still don't know how to buy a car with a trunk. :-\

OH.....And about that "since it's a mustang" comment you made.....
You may have just jinxed yourself there pal. If I were you...I would at least pack a good pair of knee pads for the praying you might want to do before you hit the road after that comment... ;D
AND...even though it's (oh the temptation is killing be but I wont) a Ford...I will pull my Chevy over for you if I happen to see you praying on the side of the road. Not that I can help...I won't have *hit with me anyhow...but I can laugh with ya and maybe offer a Coke... :P

[Solsticefun]

Maybe I should bring my truck, the hitch cover says remove to tow Fords. ;D Just kidding.

[1956NY150]

What size COOLER???

I think I saw Matt with a 36qt coler in His Camero

[White Monster]

Note to self: Find Orange95Z and stick close ...

[redragtop]

Last year someone told us to bring cardboard tubes to stick posters in. They worked great and kept all the posters from getting smushed. Came home with lots of new barn art.

GREAT idea!!!! just got one out of the supply closet. might want to throw some rubber bands into the tube also.

another idea. last year, i saw someone with address labels, so when she wanted to fill out an entry form, she just put a sticker on it and it was mostly filled out. saved a BUNCH of time.

Apparently, most vendors advised that using stickers invalidated the entry form.
To win, you must fill out forms the old fashioned way, by hand.
Good luck.

[moparjim71]

Cobra, I see you're planning your '09 car already. Great idea.

[BluLightning]

What size COOLER???

I think I saw Matt with a 36qt coler in His Camero
54 quart in the back of the truck. Maybe I'll bring the 110 quart just in case. ;D

I read your notes on the mini fl.power tour sounds like you need to take a mechanic on the tour
or buy a Chevy to take. lol

[muggle]

i'll have some extra plug wires with me still looking for a spare
and should i install a CB in the old dart or is that a waste of time?

[383S-10]

One thing I find very helpful for the tour is the peel & stick labels with your name, address, phone #, & e-mail. These will help you spend less time standing in lines and/or bending filling info cards prizes & giveaways, or products you are interested in.

Just grab peoples cell numbers when you meet them in case of emergency. Plus if you do happen to break down, someone will always pull over to give you a hand.

Maybe that's why I didn't win anything last year. I know somebody that did. Buddy?, did you use labels? ???

[Bigbuds1]

No, but I've heard of people useing them for years. I really don't see the problem??

[cstmwgn]

Just got my new credit card - gas is now covered! :o

[trukluvr]

No, but I've heard of people useing them for years. I really don't see the problem??
i think i'll bring some just in case. i can always ask and if they say no, they say no. oh well.

[White Monster]

Well, I made up my shortlist and am collecting the stuff now.

I can bring whatever I want!! ;D Seriously, I think I'm going to throw my floorjack in the bed in case anybody needs it on the road.

[cstmwgn]

You just have to get your priorities straight. I carry a floor jack and jack stands in the wagon all the time.

[BluLightning]

Last year before PT, Mom bought me a nice all aluminum jack that I carried with me. Nice and light. ;)

[cubby]

:-\ Gee BOb, Do you thinh your mom would buy me one?

[CTX-SLPR]

If you're going to bring the floor jack... bring plywood to put it on on the side of the road. It'll work great in parking lots though most of the really bad problems happen on the side of the road.

[1956NY150]

Carrying a floor jack means you have a Wagon or PU

we carrry a Bottle jack and a aluminum jack stand

I dont worry about breaking down when I am on Tour because of the FREAKS,
its the 1250 miles going in one shot at night.

[CTX-SLPR]

I managed to fit a cheepo Autozone jack and stands into the trunk of the Riv but I was also carying one of our bags in the backseat. It can be done and no the Riviera barely has more trunk space than the standard A-body does.

[BluLightning]

:-\ Gee BOb, Do you thinh your mom would buy me one?
Maybe it you're REAL nice to her Tim. :o ;D

[BluLightning]

Carrying a floor jack means you have a Wagon or PU

I happen to have both. ;D

[cstmwgn]

I do too - so explain this
I carry a bottle jack in the Pickup and a floor jack in the wagon.
Am I dyslexic or just confused?

[1956NY150]

does it have anything ti do with the SIZE of the Rear Tires on the Wagon?

bob

[Solsticefun]

I wish I could get in on this conversation on what I'm carrying in my trunk, but first you have to have a trunk. ;D

[70Pontiac]

It's a good idead to make sure your license plate is current. I remember one year sitting by the car in Memphis chatting away. I happened to at the plates and noticed they had expired. Needless to say we did the Long Haul on expired tags. It's the simple things that will get you.

Note to self: renew plates this week.

[cstmwgn]

does it have anything ti do with the SIZE of the Rear Tires on the Wagon?

bob


Ding, Ding, Ding - we have a WINNER ;D

I takes about an hour to get a rear tire off - you have to disconnect the coilovers and sway bar - thus the need for jackstands and a floor jack.

And yes, I carry 1/2" plywood squares for the stands to sit on should I be doing this activity off-road.

[trukluvr]

Well, I made up my shortlist and am collecting the stuff now.


I have no choice, but to have a short list. ;D


Jim, make room by mailing your dirty laundry home from each city.

[383S-10]

An assortment of metal adjustable hose clamps, in 2005 between me & a farmer sitting on the side of the road....we were able to help a "Long Hauler" outside of Springfield, MO get his custom Colorado going after he broke the rack in pinion on his truck. After getting going he only made it 3 miles to rest stop only to discover the oil pan was cracked too......luckily the car hauler pick them up & brought them into Springfield where they able to get parts from St. Louis to finish the tour.

If you are changing out hoses & v-belts now.....keep the old one for spares on the trip.....you may not need them but you might run into someone who will ::) I can tuck mine in engine bay area. I will a 2-ton jack because it came in handy in 05.

[Solsticefun]

Hey, that's an idea. ;D

[383S-10]

Judging from what happened in the Mid-west the past few days.....we all might need to take some NOA weather radios......when we get past Little Rock we will be on a lot secondary roads in the open plains.....hopefully we won't see any tornadic style weather at all.

[Solsticefun]

Or Floods. It rained here so hard last night, that all of our streets were flooded about bumper deep on our car. However, we are going to have great weather for the tour. 8)

[Impala_Guy]

Yeah. I said that same thing before tour last year. The '07 tour will forever be remembered as the "Shower Tour". 'Course on the '99 East tour at the Daytona Beach stop we did have a hurricane pass by, so it could be worse.

[70Pontiac]

State maps with the counties & small towns listed help with weather since most of the weather warnings announce which county the storms are in and what cities they are near. Springfield sticks out in my mind for severe weather for one Power Tour. There were tornado warings out and I had no idea where on the little map we were.

[Solsticefun]

This weather does have me alittle worried with all these out breaks of bad weather in some of the areas we are going. Hope all settles down by the time the tour starts.

Yeah after Racine, we bought rain ponchos to make sure it wouldn't rain for the rest of the tour. ;D

[White Monster]

You know how they say "That's racing", whenever sh!t goes wrong at the track ?

Well now when (sh)it hits the fan, we can say, "That's touring" !

I got my wipers working and will have a good 5-layer covering of Rain-X !!

;D

[383S-10]

Thanks Monster.....you just reminded me what I need to do my truck...RainX all the windows. Hey dont they usually put that in the gift bag we recieve? :o

[BluLightning]

I don't remember getting any last year but it was a long week. ;D

[CTX-SLPR]

I got detailing products, sunscreen, and chapstick. I got some rain-x wipes on my own last year and they were crap! Then again I do have wipers and they worked pretty well except for being spoiled and wanting intermittant.

[60scarguy]

Went out this weekend and bought new wipers and rainX.
That should deal with the rain.

Now for the thirst - Just need enough Canadian Beer to last the 7 days....

Oh yeah, and we have to share too - hmm
7 days X 4 beers per stop X 3 stops per day X 150 forum freaks = 12,600 cans = 525 cases of 24.

My trunk can fit...... oh oh not enough room,

Plus all those loonies for 65Marlin's fish fry!

I wonder if I can bring the Camaro inside a tractor trailer filled with beer. Does that count?
Any beer companies sponsoring the PT? :-\

I vote for La Batt's, and uh, you could just put the Camaro in the trailer with the beer, ice it all down, and presto!, 150 happy Forum Freaks. And HRM wouldn't have to sell us ice. ;D ;D

always willing to try Canadian beer (LaBatt's seems to ring a bell)...anyway, can we get Ms. Dolan (from the LR Convention bureau) to come to the fish fry? I mean, she seems to be working her ### off for the cruisapalooza and the tour kickoff from LR, and I thought (?) she was going to travel the first couple of stops on the HRPT............no?

As much work as she has done, she should be in the lead car to kick off the start of the tour to Springfield on Sunday. We hope she will do some of the tour with us.

I agree. Who's going to issue the invitation? 65 Marlin, it's your party. Rexdogg, it's your idea. I vote in favor, whoever asks her. ;D

Or Floods. It rained here so hard last night, that all of our streets were flooded about bumper deep on our car. However, we are going to have great weather for the tour. 8)

Yeah. I said that same thing before tour last year. The '07 tour will forever be remembered as the "Shower Tour". 'Course on the '99 East tour at the Daytona Beach stop we did have a hurricane pass by, so it could be worse.

How about in '01 when everyone was crammed into my room because it was on the ground floor, and we watched on the news as the tornado passed just to the south of us. I always wondered why they did the tour this time of the year.....

One suggestion on the credit cards - don't both you and your wife carry the same card. If your wallet is lost/stolen, you report your card as stolen, the other is no good either. I carry one card and let Sharon carry a different one. That way if something happens to either one, the other person still has a card that is good.

Well, I'm all packed and am heading out for Keith & Tonya Turk's place in the morning.
I'll see everyone on Tour.
Stay safe and help your brothers on the road.
