Vette(s): 1968 Corvette T-Top Coupe, 427 L71, Rally Red Exterior, Saddle Interior
Have no fear, I'm pulling my Vette on a trailer. I have a Chevy
3/4 ton crew cab pickup and will have plenty of room for a jack, tools,
etc. If a Vette breaks down, we take mine off the trailer and
load the stranded Vette and pull it to a shop. I'll also have a
winch so if the car can't run at all we can still get it on the
trailer. I'm not sure which day I'm returning so I may not be in
the caravan on the way back. Under these circumstances it may be
a good idea to bring some tools along.

I am bringing rolls of quarters and pray that if any breaks it does it nv.
Don't worry, my radios have the vibra alert

Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed
Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses.
2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible
When I went to Carlisle last year, I did ship my clothes and a few other items ahead. I shipped them to the hotel early and I was happy with the results. USPS Parcel Post is fairly cheap, and it was nice to not have to worry about the space.
You might want to call the hotel just so they know the box is coming...
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

[QUOTE=spielman5]Karen, with as many Caravan Members we have and I think one Corvette is on a trailer and the short distances between pickups you will be OK, we can call ahead if we need anything. If she run 50 miles and was OK, she'll run OK. Check all belts, fluids, air. Last year I carried spark plug wires because I would burn them on the headers, fix that with asbestos boots. Between us all we will have enough tools and knowledge
, and like Joel said..FaithLots of that..I will give you a hand held radio on the trip so you can keep in touch with me, if'in you have trouble, help will be on the way...Terry[/QUOTE]
Thanks Terry and everyone! It's reassuring that there will be so many helpful and knowledgeable people along. I'll check out the Costco kits...

[QUOTE=dwright]Maybe as part of your wardrobe you might want a pair of coveralls so you can crawl underneath to fix the drooping exhaust pipe or see where that leak is coming from.

Make sure all the hoses and belts are in good shape.
And like Terry says, you will be in good company.
OK, Dave, I'll check my hoses before the trip this time
