Technical Asia overland spare parts

[xavgdt]

Hello everyone!

We will soon be leaving for 1 year of traveling.
We plan to leave from Europe and drive across Asia, all the way to Vietnam (hopefully!)

We're going to drive our Ducato 2.3MJ 120 Euro6d from 2019.

I'm preparing a list of spare parts to take with us (since especially in central Asia they are hard to find), which so far includes:

• air filter
• diesel filter
• oil filter
• alternator belt
• timing belt
• wheel bearings

Does anyone have experience with trips like this and can suggest more?
More importantly, what often breaks on a Ducato?
We will not be doing any extreme offroading, of course, but a lot of driving on bumpy dirt roads is unavoidable!

Thanks!

If the timing belt fails, chances are that it would cause serious engine damage. Surely better to fit new one just before departure? Spare bulbs & fuses? Galvanised wire to secure broken exhaust?
