RainX is a cheap silicone based product that will contaminant your windshield in the event you get a rock chip. The reason that automotive glass shops stay away from this stuff.
I recommend Aquapel or a similar product.

I wouldn't worry too much about a trip like that... Just check your fluids when you get there and then drive back... My drive home to Ontario is 3800km's one way and I usually do it in one shot non-stop except for gas, bathroom breaks and eating... Bring lots of music and have fun!

The metric system is not used in Vegas, and the dollar is calculated differently. Keep enough money to get home. Also you will be handed a lot of flyers and business cards...... They are not all legal. Enjoy the United states, the drive and be safe.

I travel a lot for work (3weeks on the road 1 week home) My bank and CC company have a program that I can get single use cards if I travel out of the states. They link to your account but you put the money on them that you think you will need. When ever I travel out of the states or to Portland (CC number stolen three time there), I do this.

I'm about to embark on the longest road trip of my life. Driving to Vegas, about 2600km one way and back again. Just had the truck at the dealership for an alignment and two new tires (long story) and oil was changed about 2500km ago. Tuned her for 91 octane economy, got my adaptive cruise, LKA, Android Auto and SiriusXM. Think I'm set!
Any tips or suggestions on things I should do or bring with me? I don't plan to bring everything under the sun, if I really need it I can buy it on the way. I was going to bring a tool kit with bottle jack and stands until I realized my lift kit probably puts it out of reach anyways. I'll just call a tow truck if I get that unlucky.
