Safely overtaking a road train presents a particular challenge to caravanners .
A basic first aid kit and sufficient water ( about 5L per person per day ) is important to add to your equipment list . In the event of a breakdown in a remote area , help may be minutes , or hours , away . It would be a good idea to also pack mechanical items such as spare bearings , seals and grease , along with the appropriate tools to carry out some basic repairs to keep you on the road .
