It's all the precautionary spare parts and tools.   ;)

Its a mercedes -  they don't need the spare parts and tools -  my vote is three cases of wine and a couple full wheels of cheese.

Come on now, we've all read the threads where members are about to embark on long trips and they talk about bringing belts, hoses, starters, alternators, ignition coils, relays, water pumps, fuel pumps, and whatever else.  You know it happens.

I did a 10,000 mile across USA drive in 2019, and other than the Pagoda tool kit I carried no spares only a Visa card and Pagoda Group contacts list of fellow members that were along the way.
 Who needs spares when you have friends and a credit card……


My vote is on a trunk/boot full of wine and cheese wheels.
