As a seasoned road tripper, I still found plenty of useful tips and tricks in The Road Trip Survival Guide. Plus, I was able to relate to many of the stories sprinkled throughout. (Don't worry, the stories aren't long and don't take away from the fact that this is a survival guide.)

This book truly does have it all. From preparing your car, something everyone should read road trip or not, to advice and recipes for delicious road trip snacks, the Road Trip Survival guide should be an essential part of your packing list.

I particularly enjoyed the prepping advice, both inside and outside the car. I also loved the suggested itineraries. I'm always in planning mode and I will be looking to this book from seasoned road trippers for expert planning guidelines.

Even though I wouldn't normally read a guide like this cover to cover, I did. However, it's a good reference guide to just take what you need when you need it.

Highly recommend. I did receive my copy as a preview guide from the author.

This is a perfect book for families that are starting out on a true road trip (not just getting from point A to point B). It goes into great detail about travel preparation, car packing preparation -- just everything that you need to do prior to starting the car and leaving. It has several checklists that would be handy for that beginner. And there are several itineraries for trips that would be very handy with a lot of great directions and details.

Now for me, I would rate it 3 stars. I hope very shortly that my wife and I will be travelling (hopefully extensively) and I was hoping for more of a book that would help with travel in an RV or campervan. The book did help in showing that I've gotten sloppy over time in my preparation (no surprise), so it will help me tidy it up. And for me, a few of the trips he listed made me scratch my head, as I have taken similar trips and wondered why he left some locations out. But I learned some things as well -- such as the best way to enter Yosemite NP is from the east.

So while it fell short of my expectations or needs, it is a very good book for most family travellers!

Since the way we’re traveling these days has been curtailed, this is a fantastic resource for those who are taking their first road trip and a worthwhile refresher for veteran road trippers. From how to plan, what to pack, food and safety, there are so many useful ideas. There are also recommended week-long US, Canada and Mexico trips.

Thanks to the author, publisher and Goodreads for the complimentary copy of this book.

It was a quick read with some good tips and tricks for road trips. Not written with the pandemic in mind, but still had some good suggestions for pandemic-friendly activities. I was surprised by the amount of picnics and camping ideas. I'm probably less of an outdoorsy road tripper, but this was still great information. I also want to visit Southern Wisconsin now!
