The first thing to mention is the need to study customs regulations and traffic rules in the countries you plan to visit or travel through in transit during your trip. Customs prohibitions and traffic rules in some European countries are quite specific. Often they are unpredictable and sometimes defy reasonable explanation, relying on the power of tradition.
For example, even historians cannot unambiguously explain the reasons for left-hand traffic on UK roads – there are several versions. Therefore, do not be lazy to find and study this information – it will save you from trouble. Fines for violating laws and traffic rules in Europe can be very large by our standards.
The second important element is planning a route for your car, i.e., choosing roads, places to stay overnight, and calculating travel times. Do not forget to leave a time reserve in case of various road force majeure events (car breakdowns, road closures). Also, mark the locations of technical service centers along the way where you can repair your car.
The third element is car equipment. Here, tips for car enthusiasts can be found on a specialized website. Experienced car enthusiasts, in the process of preparing for a trip abroad, turn their car into a real home on wheels, loading it with equipment so that they can, if needed, make minor repairs themselves, have lunch from an emergency food supply, and spend the night in the car (or in a tent next to it). On the other hand, you should not take the desire to prepare for the vicissitudes of fate to the point of mania. After all, Europe is a densely populated region with good infrastructure, not a desert.
So the main thing you will need to solve problems that arise on the road is cash and a bank card with a substantial amount in your account, not a set of equipment for survival in the wild.
