LONG Haul questions
I am going to be making a long drive in a couple of weeks. Florida to Minnesota. In an 88 F-250. What kind of stuff do you guys bring along with you? General stuff, and vehicle stuff. I have most of the usual suspects covered (like beer and cigarettes 
J/K) but any tips are welcome and appreciated. Thanks -Chuck

You are fine but bring a tow chain for all the chevys and dodge 4x4 that will be stuck in the snow. Maybe you can make enough money for your gas.
On a serious note though. Check your spare and make sure you have the tools to change one. You just never know sometimes about that disappearing lug wrench. Carry some duct tape and a cheap standard wrench set and some screwdrivers. Premix some 50-50 antifreeze too just in case. Check it in your engine too. One thing I do in the winter especialy is use some of that rainex stuff on all the mirrors and windows. It helps keep ice from building up too.
Other than that there ain't much you really need unless there is something you aren't telling us. In that case take a lap top and cell phone and give us a holler here if it breaks down. We'll have you up and running in no time. By long distance of course. Good luck!
