In this automotively inclined selection from MusicThinkTank, Robert Lanterman discusses how artists can get ahead of inevitable van trouble on the road, and thus avoid having their entire tour go off the rails.
"Van check ups are important, so take some extra time to look and make sure everything works properly. Are you equipped to go as many miles as you need to? Are all of the fluids filled and is your battery in good condition? When will you need to change your oil next? Check the latter specifically when you can, even if you think you don’t need to. Tour costs money – don’t make it cost more by doing something stupid that could end up trashing your vehicle."
