Do you expect some rough terrain in your trip?

I always bring a small can of WD-40 during road trips but have not yet used it so far.

no rough terrain but wd40 is a great idea. Maybe the Cabin will have a squeaky hinge!

Is the van foreign or domestic?

 

[stroked93]

its a 2005 ford freestar. I don't have load capacity to carry all the extra parts lol

 

[Crasen]

I would ditch the standard wrenches and bring a small ratchet set and metric sockets instead

AAA membership and use their tools while they sit in their van.

crasen beat me to it but you definatly need a ratchet and sockets.

Edit: Hammer, prybar, breaker bar.

If nothing else hammer is good to crack nuts.
