So, while waiting for my car to get the oil changed yesterday, I started making a roadtrip list: things I'll want in the car in case of emergency. I've never taken a trip like this as an adult, so let me know what I'm missing.
bug repellent
sunscreen
cooler
water bottles
handi-wipes
mending kit
swiss army knife
corkscrew/bottle opener (if not in swiss army knife)
detergent in plastic bag
toilet paper
wrench (in case I need to change a tire)
jack (already in the trunk with the pare)
handkerchief or bandana
towels
tapes and cds
I think that a small cutting board will be useful, and I'm tempted to pack a sheet in the bottom of the luggage, just in case. But what else should I take?

If you don't know, make sure the wrench fits the lugs on your tires. A can of Fix-a-Flat is a good idea in case you end up with a flat some place it isn't safe to change the tire.
A coffee can with a couple of those fat candles, so if you get stuck you can keep the car warm without running the engine or killing the battery for lights.
(Yes, any trip over a hundred miles means I pack like I'm going to be marooned in Antarctica the rest of my life, how did you guess?)

Well, as this is a trip of 4,000 miles, I think I'd better plan on disaster of some kind.
