app for offline maps (great for trails too!).iPad (for some late-night Netflix, if needed).Kindle and audiobooks ( click here for some of my favorite road trip audiobooks to listen to).An offline music playlist and headphones (not everyone wants to listen to the same song 5 times).Entertainment and goodies that will make a big difference My favorite photo from the Road to Hana * Check out my favorite natural travel toiletries here. *If you plan on camping, check out my car camping checklist here. Personal alarm, to keep on hand at night or in an unfamiliar area for safety ( this one from Nathan also has a strobe light for startling an assailant).DivaCup ( read my honest review here if you are new to the cup).Hairbrush and a small mirror (or just use your car’s rearview mirror!).Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (bring dry shampoo and wet wipes if shower isn’t available).1 sweatshirt or 1 fleece jacket, and a large scarf (it gets cold at night).1 pair of hiking/ running shoes and 1 pair of flip flops.Enough underwear and socks for the trip.2-3 quick-dry tank tops, t-shirts, or long sleeve shirts.
Hammock, in case you find a nice spot in nature to relax ( this one from ENO is big enough for 2, but I love it for just me because I like to stretch out).Travel mug + cutlery (for coffee and lunch takeouts).Snacks (I love dried fruits, nuts, granola bars, popcorn, and sandwiches, as they don’t make a mess, and the last thing you want is to be in a car that smells like eggs).Water bottle (and fill it up every chance you get).Car chain and snow kit if road tripping in the winterįor yourself: An amazing road trip in Utah.Sanitary spray and/or wipes and car air freshener.Fluids and an empty gas can if road tripping in remote places.Car garbage bin or a reusable garbage bag.Either way, there are a few absolute essentials, as well as things that’ll just make the journey easier and a little bit sweeter: Maybe you’re taking your own vehicle, or maybe it’s a rental.
#W123 ROAD TRIP CHECKLIST HOW TO#
In reality you probably won't do many thousands of miles, so put fuel costs out of your mind and enjoy the wonderful engineering and the quality of the interior. The ride is supurb, the size of the boot is really useful, and the M110 just purs along, albeit a bit noisily at speed, even with the really excellent noise insulation that the MB engineers designed into the car.ĭon't get a 280E if you are always worrying about the cost of petrol, because it's thirsty. The price was good but there were things wrong with it that I later learnt were expensive to fix, such as the central locking and 3 corroded window bases.īut despite the expense, I am very happy that I made the transition to W123s.
My Volvo Amazon was no longer providing the needed confort, and all the reviews were saying that the W123 provided brilliant levels of smoothness for a 1970s car. I wanted to 'upgrade' my classic car, while still having a vehicle that would soon be Historic and ULEZ compliant.
