Is there an easy way to check the wires for damage or weak points? The grounds seem fine could they go bad?

You can pretty much visually check your main cables and such but we have no way to know when the internal components of the alternator will fail... until it happens.
With the exception of erratic behavior, which we are pretty much given a rude awakening, it works or it gives us the Christmas tree thingy! Basically they work or they don't
If a in doubt, I would bite the bullet and just replace it for that long trip. Lots of things can happen nowadays when we get stranded in God only knows where, and none of them are good.
Take care,
