The very best of luck Bruce.
For what it's worth, those strike me as rather long days, especially if you have mountain climbs in the mix. (OK I've just converted Km into real money and it's not as bad as I thought - but you might still be driving non-stop, unless you are taking the big roads).
My personal approach is to carry as little as possible. Travel light (as light as you can) and go gently on the pedals. For sure ignition spares, rad hoses, oil, an inner tube and basic tools, but I don't load the car with parts and I try to avoid fiddling with anything that can survive till I get home. The tool kit includes all my old friends but nothing fancy. The 'secret' if there is one is to know the car is reliable before you set out.
I love travelling alone with my Seven, what finer company could you ask for? And I'm sure you will make friends enough along the road.
