What to look for in road trip gear
01Match cooler size to your trip — bigger is not always better.
02For sun shades, measure your windshield; SUVs need oversize options.
03Dash mounts must clear airbags and not block your view.
04Pack a small organizer for chargers, snacks, and travel docs.
05Look for items that fold or collapse for off-trip storage.
06Skip novelty gadgets that won't survive a single long drive.
