My friend and I are planning a June road trip from NY to AZ hoping to last no longer than a week, to a week and a half. We have considered factors such as cost for gas, food, lodging, etc, but what's enough money?? And how should we carry it? Cash, travelers checks, credit cards?
Next, we hope to sleep in my vehicle to cut down on costs, but showering is a concern, are trucksop showers a possibility?? How much do they cost, and do you have to be a trucker to use them???
Lastly, is packing a cooler of food wise, or would it just end up a soggy mess of rotten filth??

Thanks
