I have seen many of those belt failures. sometimes the belt will break and simply fall out on the road. sometimes it comes off and flaps around under the hood taking out a/c and other lines. sometimes, like yours, you get lucky and it is a simple fix. it has delayed you but not cost too much.
sticking with stock parts is my goal. if you need something while on the road somewhere it should be readily available. good forethought on your part. sorry to hear about your troubles but good to hear you got it straightened out easily.
Ya no kidding strange part was the belt still looks ok, but I put a new one on.

Ya I agree. We are going down again next year but beginning of October. We will make a plan earlier.
