Remember if you fly a jump pack cannot go in luggage.

Paper map not terrible but use Google maps and pre-load the map for the next day of the trip while you have internet. Do it on a couple phones if you have more than one with. It will be able to find anything in the map area as well as recalculate route .

Roadside is included with my car insurance, but it's a whole lot faster to jump start myself or refill a flat tire after patching in 30 seconds..

One time my valve stem popped. Split wide open. The sound sounded like I picked up some brush in a spoke. I drove a few blocks until I could find a good place to check it out.

Tire looked a little q so I got out the pump to add some air start looking for a screw etc.

Pump gauge looked weird then it hit me gauge wasn't reading wrong it was accurately reading zero!

Run on flat tire looked like 15 psi when zero!

Most critical thing to figure out is if the fuel siphon pump is working. When it fails and it will, you only have access to 5/8 to 3/4 of your fuel.

Learn how to read test six from the hidden menu and watch the right tank values. It should stay at about 1.4L while the left tank goes all the way to zero.

If the right tank drops to zero pull over for gas immediately or sooner. Actually if it starts dropping at all get gas. You will be safe to drive any distance with faulty siphon but you’d have to stop for gas more often and it’s way better to know if the fuel system is working than assume it’s not and have to stop 70-150 miles early at each fill up.
