Description: Here is a video as Alex Braun and Lindsay Bjerregaard from cars.com bring you some helpful tips on essential items on a road trip.
Some of the essential items includes: Cooler,
Bringing a cooler will save much money on drinks and indeed, a pretty nice idea. As it’s also recommend to use cool packs instead of the actual ice to save mask from the ice melting and put the ice at the top of the drinks. Put the cooler on a place in a car where it’s easily accessible and try to keep it out of the sun to keep drinks inside cool for longer; Power Inverter, this is relatively useful if you are bringing some electronic gadgets, but check first the electronics that you will plugging-in to make sure that you will not overloading the inverter; GPS, this is a very helpful item especially when you’re travel in a place where you’re not familiar. A lot of cars has GPS as an option. If your car doesn’t have one you can buy a portable GPS which can help to get a step by step address while you’re heading to it; MP3 Player, On the road trip you’re obviously need music and if you don’t feel to bring a bunch of CDs, MP3 is a good option. A lot of cars have MP3 jacks so you can easily connect it to MP3 player too; and lastly the Jumper Cables, One of the most common problem on the road is to have your battery die. So bringing a pair of jumper cables is essentially helpful. Using a jumper cable for the first time is pretty much intimidating but if you know what you’re doing it is relatively simple. Like on a Corolla model, just take the red clamp then put on to the middle part of the positive battery terminal and take the negative clamp and ground it on a something metal or unpainted.
