If you are already signed up make sure to upgrade to "plus" before you go. Plus members are entitled to four 100 mile tows per year. I went on a 13,000 mile trip last summer and got over $1500 in towing (over 200 miles) for the $50 it cost to upgrade my membership. If you aren’t a member of AAA sign up before you leave.

I think the rooms are around £20 per night - so cheap as chips really, especially if you can get a route mapped out for you at goin6.com I am up for it!

You'd probably be better off buying and then selling a used car. (I know that's what <a HREF="http://www.amazon.com/America-Unchained-Dave-Gorman/dp/0091899370/silverclipboard-20" rel="nofollow">Dave Gorman did</A>. Just whatever you do don't follow his idiotic route. Go East to West, not West to East.) @BritElvis: I just checked on budget, and renting a car to take cross country for two months is going to run you about $4,000.

Also, in regards to #8, you actually get slightly better mileage when you have less few in the tank. I understand your trepidation, but on a long road trip you will notice a difference. On most of my long trips I generally never fill my tank past 3/4 full Sarah, i agree with you on this one.
