Replacing a headlight bulb in a Promaster Van is best done with a rachet. Our rachet was in my son's trunk in Albuquerque, so we had to purchase one at one of the many Ace Hardware along the way. We carried extra bulbs in the van and had to replace bulbs three times for driving during wet weather.

A victim of the drive.
A pit toilet at a campground in British Columbia.An interesting aside, not only are the vault toilets at the Canadian parks clean and fresh-smelling, in the Yukon the wiping paper was two-ply. Could it be celebrating the logging industry and its papermills in Whitehorse.
