It is was going to embark on this trip with a limited budget for repair (just a guess) and without a comprehensive knowledge maintenance history on the car i was going to use (also a bit of a guess) i would do four things:
1. Change all the belts (the waterpump/alternator belts are the only critical ones but since you are in there you should do the power steering belt and the AC belt as well)
2. Do a coolant service. This includes changing both of the upper coolant hoses, new thermostat, new fan switch, and new coolant.
3. Change the engine and the gearbox oil.
4. Make sure the car had a good set of tires.
There are, of course, all sorts of additional things you could do that to help ensure a smooth trip but if you do only these four things you will have eliminated many of the items that cause immediate and catastrophic failure.
