If the car can't sustain a 3 1/2 hour trip, it probably won't make it out of 
the trailer.
Everybody should have a good breaking down story. lol

It used to take me over 20 hours to get to Pa. Now its much shorter only 12 
1/2.

Until you've replaced all the basics, the age of everything is 
questionable.  But once you do its actually pretty reliable.
(water pump,fuel pump, any kind of pump, alternator, starter, brakes, hoses, 
coil,bushings,ect)

Don't get me wrong , some of my best friends drive a trailer, or a mustang, 
or a valient.
