"Whether you are visiting family in another state, driving up into the mountains for a scenic fall weekend, or embarking on an epic adventure spanning several weeks, road trips are an iconic American getaway. While it's certainly possible to hit the road with nothing more than your driver's license and a bottle of water, a few thoughtful gadgets and supplies will make for smoother sailing."
"I previously lived in a campervan while traveling across North America, and I still find myself trekking across the country multiple times each year, so I've had plenty of seat time to test the best road trip gear. From entertainment options including podcasts and games to utilities such as a portable power bank and pet accessories, here are a handful of road trip essentials that will make your next excursion the best one yet."
Road trips range from short scenic weekend drives to multiweek cross-country adventures and benefit from deliberate preparation. Practical gadgets and supplies reduce friction and enhance comfort, entertainment, and utility while traveling. High-capacity power banks that include laptop-capable USB-C ports and multiple device outputs solve weak car USB ports, unreliable hotel outlets, and powerless campsites. Mixing music with podcasts and audiobooks breaks up monotony and sustains attention during long drives. Experience living and traveling across North America informs practical gear choices.
