When I hit the road, whether I am towing my trailer or road tripping in my truck and staying in hotels, there are certain things that I must take with me. Some are for safety purposes, some in the event of an emergency and some for comfort. Here's my "Must Have Road Trip Essentials" list.
Safety
* Tire pressure tester and tire inflator. Always check tires when they are cold.
* Car Emergency Kit
* Car Tool Kit
When buying a tire pressure tester and inflator, make sure that you buy one that runs on a battery. When you need to inflate the tires, you many be someplace where eclectic is not available.
Make sure your car emergency kit has:
* Reflective Warning Triangle ,
* Reflective Safety Vest,
* Tow rope,
* Gloves with Gripping Palm ( 1 pair) ,
* Safety Hammer and Seatbelt Cutter, (good for breaking windows if necessary)
* Hand Driven LED Flash Light ,
* Adhesive Tape,
* Jumper Cables,
* Whistle
Make sure that you buy a car tool kit and not a home repair tool kit. A home repair tool kit has items to help you hang pictures on the wall and change an outlet cover but won't have adjustable wrenches and socket sets that you will likely need in the event that you have to make a repair or adjustment under the hood.
Emergency Items
* WD40 – loosen things, keep things from squeaking,
* Electrical tape – to cover LED lights and to actually use on electrical fixes
* Duct tape – to keep anything together!!
* Wire cutting splicing tool – in case you need to fix your 7 way plug
