prepping for 1300 mi trip

Heading out to disney fort wilderness in a couple weeks. It will be a 1300 mile roundtrip. Never been on a trip more than a couple hours away. What extra things should I be checking or doing to the TT before heading out? Thanks

    Have safe tires, repack bearings, reasonable speed. Also proper maintained TV...it is hot!

    Don, I see where you recommend a full tank of water -- I try to tow with a minimum of water because it is heavy. I figure I can get water when I get to my campsite. (I hope!)

    I would make sure to check your tires well every time you stop for fuel. Which unfortunately will be a lot.

    Do all the same things you would do for a short trip. The only thing I do is have a full tank of fresh water and food that is easy to fix when it is time to eat on the trip. Also enjoy the trip and take your time.
