Inspecting the morning you leave finds problems you no longer have time to fix. Two days is the number.
Margin turns findings into fixes
An inspection 48 hours out means a worn belt, low coolant or a marginal battery becomes a quick appointment instead of a trip-canceling discovery at 6 AM. It also gives replaced parts a day of normal driving to prove themselves before the freeway. Same checklist as any pre-trip — fluids, tires, brakes, battery, belts — just scheduled where the findings still have somewhere to go.
Quick tips
- Drive at least 20 normal miles on any new repair before a long haul
- Photograph your tires' date codes; rentals of the road do not
- Pack coolant and a quart of your oil — cheap peace of mind in the desert
