As someone who has done multiple 3,000+ miles, 2 month long trips, here a few tips:

- download podcasts/books
- ice chest with drinks within reach
- if it doesn't delay you too much, go the scenic route

not sure what else

I love road trips

Did you walk? lol. 3,000 miles over 2 months is not that bad. I'm sure a lot of us put well over 3,000 miles on our vehicles in 2 months commuting to and from work. He's not asking for advice on commuting, he's asking for advice on taking a long haul road trip.

That being said:

1. Snacks / Energy drinks / water loaded up before you leave
2. Podcasts, music, etc...
3. Paper maps (or maps downloaded to your phone) in case you get lost somewhere w/ no cell signal. This saved my arse once in rural Tennessee.
4. You'll make better time than Google says you will. Plan a stop somewhere along the route for an hour or two. It will help break things up and let you relax a little bit (possible nap time?).
