Is there anything better than a road trip? Loading up the car, hitting the open road, spending time with your loved ones, and taking time to disconnect. It sounds great, doesn’t it? And the key to any good road trip is your vehicle! At North Roswell Automotive we want to share these tips and tricks to help you make every road trip the best road trip of your life.
Clean It Up
It doesn’t matter if you are a neat freak or your vehicle looks like it is home to a pack of wild animals, it is always best to start with a clean slate. And when you are talking about a road trip, that means a clean car.
Grab some trash bags, rags, and a vacuum and handle every sticky spot and stray french fry before you start packing. It also never hurts to clean the outside even though you know it is only going to get dirty again when you hit the road.
Stock It Up
Once you have made all that space by cleaning out your car, now it is time to stock it up with all the things that you will need on hand for the miles ahead. Depending on how long you are going to be on the road and who you will have riding along a solid packing list should include:
- Phone chargers
- Snacks
- Waters
- Caffeine
- Paper Towels
- Wet Wipes
- Cash or Change
- Sunglasses
- First Aid Kit
- Jumper Cables
- Emergency Supplies
When your vehicle is stocked with everything you need you can focus on all the fun and joy that the road has to offer. And if you are traveling with children, a stocked vehicle also equates to a peaceful trip.
