I can see why they're included (preparedness), but again - I didn't feel like my supplies were 'show worthy' so I left mine out and accepted the 'lost' points...

i am a nats cert,judge.
now i have not been on this site for 6 months but it's Christmas eve and i'm board,
so don`t get all pissed if i don't continue answering questions.
the gas, oil, water tools , fire extinguisher , spare tire a jack are all things you should have anyways
if you don't show them then you can't give credit for them or deduct points for not seeing them this whole thing may be 5 points
that are out there to take or leave, some people spend a lot of time and some money to
make these realty nice but it's still 5 points, a letter to the judge tells the judge what you did so maybe they did not miss it, and does help, the last thing a judge at the Nat's in 95 degree temps in July is to hear every story on every van, and the judges are not going to go look for you. if i can see it i can give you points but i won't go looking thru your van for something.these mostly items the manufacturer did not supply . just like wheels , custom are worth move than manufacturer wheels and 5 custom wheels and 5 matching tires are worth more than 4 factory wheels and a donut just like hand painted stripes opposed to factory tape stripes . this could go on for ever, as for the completed judge sheet i would not make them avail, no 2 options are the same, or some one missed some thing or a math error i have seen it all, what i'd suggest doing is put 4/5 buddies to gather and judge yours and 3 others in your class and see what everyone else looks at . regarding Buffalo new york every year i judge the butler show, and if i need a judge i will try to find a nat's judge 1st,hope this helps and hope everyone has a great Christmas.

Not a big deal. Most if not all have empty cans marked gas, water ,oil. First aid kit is the most important. Jack, tool box, jumper cables, are needed. But you could skip everything and nothing says you will win. Nationals brings out the best vans. Good luck

the actual points system and classifications can be found on the National turck'in Board web site, listed on this board site on the left side.
the info is contained on the right side of the blog under "vanning Links". In a file labeled "How to host a Nationals" , a PDF file. IN the near future this info will be presented in an easier way to retrieve.
