Take a motor home, with a enclosed trailer behind it.? End of "on the side of
the road problems", and you don't have to lug spare engine parts.

Most important: cell phone & AAA+ card.
Beyond that depends on what, realistically, you are willing to do on the
side of the road. ?Fan belt, hoses, fuses, and enough tools to replace them.
I like to carry a DMM with clip leads and some extra DOT 5 (because it can
be hard to find in stores). ?Some drinking water is always welcome on long
trips, and in an emergency can fill the radiator enough to limp to a filling
station.
I carry a spare distributor (loaded with cap, rotor, points, wires) in the
center of the spare tire (along with the belt & hoses in a zip-lock bag), as
well as a backup electric fuel pump. ?Never needed them myself, but others
in the caravan have. (5 of us once spent the better part of a Sunday
afternoon roaming around the Oregon countryside, 800 miles from home,
looking for a TR4A rotor.)
