At only 86K miles, you probably won't have any mechanical issues, but you never know. I have a '97EVC and lost my water pump and serpentine belt at 100K miles in the middle of nowhere. I'd get a water pump, serpentine belt and belt tensioner, and a correct bolt to release tension on the belt.
I'd have a premium emergency roadside coverage, AAA or Good Sams. Really good, bright LED work light. LED headlamp. Tire Plug repair kit, gloves, pliers. (sometimes you can remove a nail and plug it yourself, even on roadside)

When was your transmission's fluid, filter and gasket last changed. It should be changed at least every 40k miles, if not more often, like 20k miles. If you don't have one, you might consider installing an external transmission oil cooler. It mounts in front of the radiator and keeps the transmission oil temperature from getting too high, which damages it resulting in transmission failure. Before trip have an oil & filter change. Check coolant and brake fluid level.
What is the condition of your tires? Have them checked, rotated and balanced with correct air pressure. Low tire pressures and highway heat are the greatest cause of tire failure and blowouts. If they are suspect, new tires.

I am hitting the road in my 2001 Eurovan Camper (86K Miles) for an extended road trip. Which tools and spare parts would you take with you? In the past I have taken: 1. A canvas repair kit; 2. various screwdrivers and wrenches 3. Tire iron, jack, and gloves, good spare tire; 4. freon leak detector and yellow glasses; 5. error code detector. What other useful tools should I consider?
