I’ve consistently been a large fan of road trips.
I know that they aren’t for everyone – a lot of people say that they can’t sit in the automobile for that long of a time as well as they get restless.
I don’t usually feel that way. I can genuinely settle into a drive as well as sit comfortably for up to 12 hours at once. It’s no problem to stare off at the scenery as well as let my mind wander gently from topic to topic as the hours fly by. One of the largest recommendations I can provide to anyone who normally feels tortured by long road trips is to invest in a van. Having enough space is essential for comfort. Recently, my buddy and I even rented a immense cargo van for one of our trips. This thing was amazing! It drove like a dream as well as my buddy and I had so much room for our belongings. The one disadvantage of having so much space was trying to maintain the proper air quality within the cab. As my buddy and I drove on our long trip, the outdoor air seriously changed from a sizzling as well as humid air quality to a dry as well as bitterly chilly climate. The van wasn’t exactly equipped to combat the brutally chilly as well as blustery air outside, it turns out; Even with the onboard furnace blasting at full power, my buddy and I noticed that the air temperature fluctuated wildly from sizzling to cold. The furnace seemed like it could not maintain a high level of heat or air flow. It also felt like the chilly air from outside was genuinely permeating the uninsulated metal walls, chilling the van from all sides. Thank god my buddy and I know enough as expert travelers to keep extra blankets on board. I don’t assume the van’s furnace could survive our heating demands.
