Several yrs ago, in May, I drove from Denver, Colorado, to San Jose, California, in 2 days.
This November, I need to drive, from San Jose to Fort Collins, in a 1st gen Chevy Volt. Should I plan for 3 days?
Tips on good but inexpensive hotels around Winnemucca, NV, Salt Lake City, UT assuming 3 day trip?
Any other tips? Tips for the Volt?
Have the vehicle inspected thoroughly (brakes, steering and suspension, tires, alignment–checked and corrected if needed, etc etc) before the long trip…
As someone that worked at a shop right off 2 interstates (I65/I40) and close to another (I24) for many years, I have seen hundreds maybe thousands of out of towners passing through breaking down from this that or the other…
Lots of I thought my tires, or brakes, or ball joints, or whatever were good, and wasn’t…
Google is your friend. The chance anyone from those places seeing your post is really low.
Thanks @davesmopar
This is a 1220 mile trip in Nov. Would u do it in 2 or 3 days assuming there is no restrictions?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to use sites such as Trivago, Expedia, or Hotels.com for a thorough hotel/motel search?
Only you can know how many hours on the road you can handle. There was a time when I could have made that in a day and a half. Now it is 2 full days at least.
I used to do a trip like that in one long day…but I am older now!
600 odd miles per day is pretty easy driving on an interstate especially if you have 2 drivers.
The Volt is essentially a hybrid no matter what GM insisted so you will have gas stops, not long charge stops, like any other ICE vehicle.
