If I knew a part was on the way out, I would replace it before I left on a trip, not carry it along as a 'spare'. It's a lot easier to do 'preventive' maintenance in my garage then to do 'corrective' maintenance when I am on the road with my wife, kids and pets.

That being said, I carry no spare parts; I drive the van everyday and keep good track of maintenance I have done and what I maintenance I will need to do in the future. I do carry a full set of tools but have been fortunate and never had to use them on the road yet.

Good luck,
