Before the roadtrip, practise getting your backside numb. The seat is not adjustable, and I remember being very uncomfortable on roadmoves. Make sure your mirrors are well aimed. Make sure you've got a big orange marker panel on the spare tire, because someone much faster than you will crawl up your back bumper as you make your way at 45mph and him at 70 mph. I found a 24v to 12v alligator clip transformer gadget at Harbour Freight. Can't want to try it out for GPS navigators, phone chargers and portable sound systems. The lure of the open road will get boring fast.
