Largely depends upon how remote you intend to go. More remote = more need to be self reliant and thus more spare equipment. This is however, always balanced against the weight of all the stuff, as the more weight you carry in your vehicle, the more likely it will fail somewhere.

Gather as many lists from others as you can, think how you like to camp and what skills you have to fix things, whould they break and figure it out from there.

It's always a trade off.

Cheers,

Mark

We went for 2 months and carried spare parts and consumables for the 4wd and camper.

From the list below that we took, the only stuff we needed were the filters. A 8mm bolt (for air con v-belt tension) to replace one that we lost along the track. The 12volt powered drill to fix a seat in the camper. Also, the camper needed a wheel bearing replaced at Marla. We bought oil we in a mjor town when an oil change was due, so we didn't have to lug 8 litres of oil around. The same for the jerry cans, left them empty until needed for the longer remote runs.

So as far as space and weight goes, we used one 300x300x300mm plastic box for spare parts and had two small boxes of tools.

radiator hoses & clamps
set of v-belts
filters for oil, air & diesel
tube hi-temp silicon
bay of cable ties
duct tape
2 sets of wheel bearing for camper
2 sets of wheel studs & nuts for camper
1 litre oil
fuses, blubs
a variety of bolts, nuts, screws etc
spare uhf ariel
a broad set of tools - but only one of each spanner or socket size.

I got a few lists of the camping gear web sites just do a search
