	I tend to think first in terms of "what will stop me stone 
cold dead if I don't have it, and is really hard to get in the middle 
of nowhere."  Fuel injection and ignition parts are tops for me.  I 
also like to have spare hoses and electrical wire.

	You can also pack spare brake shoes and pads, but you should 
really check/replace before the trip if necessary.

	Hmm,that makes me stop and think:  what have I actually had 
to repair/replace on my Type III while on a trip?  Hmm... generator 
brushes in Nebraska, a distributor in Idaho... I think that's about 
it.

	Now, Keith Park will tell you to pack a spare rear torsion 
bar, but that's Keith. ;)
