We drove to Glacier NP, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton NP last month and was gone three weeks. For our days on the road, I would pack a lunch, snacks and drinks and keep it in the truck. Saves alot of money and time vice stopping at fast food restaurants. Used the app "road ahead" for gas stops. As long as you are on a highway, it will show what is at the exits ahead. It also reports gas prices for you and how far the station is from the exit.
We also have a small air compressor that we have been carrying around in the camper for years. Actually needed it this trip as we picked up a nail in one of the camper tires. My husband found the nail, plugged the hole and aired it back up.
We found that the NP's were way more crowded than they were two years ago which I guess is a good thing. Since I work for the government and am currently furloughed, I would never plan a long distance trip to a national park at the beginning of October. I feel bad for those who have had their trip effected.
