i'll be hauling a 5x8 enclosed trailer behind my 2003 bmw 540i wagon, along with a 16 cubic feet cargo box on the roof, and the rear seats folded for an addition 32 cubic feet, so i'm going all out in terms of cargo space. Planning to avoid night driving whenever possible. Lots and lots of audio books, podcasts. Keeping a cooler in the car stocked with healthy snacks like fruits and veggies, sandwiches, etc. Also investing in one of those battery powered wifi trailer hitch cameras to stick to the back of the trailer, specifically to help with reversing the trailer.
I'd love to stop by all kinds of places BUT i'm pretty limited on time, since this movie is for a new job and i need to give my two weeks at my current job, make this trip, then have a few days spare in my new location to get settled in before i start said new job.
got any other tips or wisdom for this guy who's never really done a road trip solo yet? Like places to visit or ways to survive driving 8 hours a day
