I'd put a new motor in it..............................just kidding. Really all you can do is your regular routine maintence. I.E. Oil, filter, tranny flush, coolant flush, fresh tuneup. Check your belts and hoses. Air preasure in tires. There is really no way to tell if anything else is about to fail. You know your rig better then anyone. If it uses a little oil.....then check it each time you fill up for gas. Plan your trip well as far as where you plan to stop etc... It just makes it all that easier then looking for a hotel at night in an unfamiliar place. Have fun and a safe trip.
