All good advice above. For the actual trip a small set of tools, to do minor road side fixes. You are not likely going to be dropping the engine and doing a clutch job.

In my glove box at all times are a few things I carry. A 24 inch length of trimmer line. If your fuel door pull handle breaks, how do you put gas in? Practice with the length of string. Open the door, look at the latch, close the door, and open it with the string by threading the line around the latch, and pull back and the door pops open. Of course some spare fuses.

I also carry a motorcycle tire plug kit. For a nail or screw hole, even in a sidewall, plug the hole and get to a tire shop for a proper fix. Also carry a couple of large trash bags. If you indeed have to use the spare, be sure to put it on the front, and even if the flat is on the rear. Don't use the space saver on the rear. Put the rear tire in the bag to keep the car clean for wherever you stuff the rear tire.

A handful of zip ties, and a disposable painters suit, several pairs of rubber gloves, and a flashlight or two.

I have driven my 85 911 to 41 states, and Canada and my goal is to hit all the lower 48 states. I live in Oklahoma, so my start point is never more than a few thousand miles from the destination. I have been to Key West, northern Maine, and all the New England states. Our longest trip was just under 7,000 miles over two weeks.

Enjoy your trip! Your car was designed to roll down the highway and be driven. Enjoy the experience.
