Hey! Thanks for commenting. Yea it’s a scary distance. My advice is take your time and relax. If you fall behind schedule you fall behind schedule. Have your checkpoints planned out but have some flexibility. Keep hydrated and try to keep your brain active. Podcast, music, audio books even getting co-pilot to look up small towns and read random facts…really anything to entertain yourself. Finally check, double check and triple check your car. I also carried a extra gallon of fuel in a container. Some places don’t have fuel for 100miles so you don’t want to miss judge fuel so carry extra. Worse case you don’t need it and you can use it when you arrive.

Going to be making the same trip in April with two kids and two pets. Question. What did you do with the pets when stopping to eat? Great video btw.

So traveling we just did takeouts and then when we got to the hotel we would crate them and go out to eat. Mainly subways, burritos etc. a lot of the gas stations had some sort of fast food option…not ideal but does the trick. We just stayed at La Quintas as they’re dog friendly. Thanks for commenting.

Hey I'm trying to do basically the same thing but in the opposite direction. What was the year/make/model/trim of your vehicle? Just trying to make some basic calculations before I set off. How did the car handle? How heavy was the trailer loaded? Did your car have any issues afterwards? Thanks!

It’s a Suburu Forester all wheel drive 2015. The trailer was pretty heavy (one bedroom apartment) the trailer was under the max limit for the car. The biggest issue was even though I distributed the weight evenly everything moved around. Car handled well however kept it between 60-70 miles per hour. Going up the mountains tried to managed the accelerator so the car didn’t have to work too hard. Coming down the mountains had to be careful because of the weight momentum behind me. No issues with car afterwards.

That's awesome to hear, I have a naturally aspirated forester. I just have the basic engine and cvt transmission. Is this the same case for you? Or was yours one of the Turbo versions? Do you have a trans cooler installed?

When we went through Wyoming coming down from the mountains we got up to around 75 ish and it was pretty scary. 95% of the time I was 60-68mph. My issue was I didn’t trust the trailer, how I loaded the trailer, the weight of the trailer…plus I had watched a few safety videos of cars loosing it…so I was like ok let’s chill but move.
