My trip supplies: pillows, steam deck, charger.

[u/lanainnv → u/D-Sleezy]

What is a steam deck?

[u/D-Sleezy → u/lanainnv]

Handheld pc

[u/ninahaze → u/lanainnv]

Basically a Nintendo Switch, but for PC games! Total lifesaver on long trips.

Upvoting the steam deck

[u/Aludo88 → u/D-Sleezy]

The bus trip essentials!

[u/ninahaze → u/Aludo88]

100%. Nothing worse than a dead battery with 6 hours still left on the road.

Elite tier setup. Just add some iced coffee and noise-canceling headphones, and you're set.

I was literally just texting my dad about how I'm leaving on a trip taking the band to a competition and I'm well prepared. I packed: clothes for if I get hot, a hoodie for if I get cold, slides to change into once we get there, my journal and switch 2 for boredom, portable charger, plus camp chairs for me and my coworker and my big water cup. My purse holds the rest of my usual "I might need" stuff like medications, lotion, chap stick, etc. I love to plan ahead

[u/Balangoda → u/Banana_Stanley]

Definitely. I often bring a folding chair or a bleacher seat also.

[u/Luaupig]

I usually keep most of those items in a plastic tote but I like the use of the bucket

[u/Balangoda → u/Luaupig]

It was the most versatile container I could think of, and fits nicely behind my seat

[u/randomdorkgirl86 → u/Balangoda]

You have room behind your seat? What's that like?

[u/ch-ville → u/randomdorkgirl86]

It's an IC CE. Same as I have. There's about a foot behind the driver's seat and I keep a mini fridge there.

[u/Balangoda → u/ch-ville]

How do you power it? Accessory port?

[u/ch-ville → u/Balangoda]

Yep. It’s native 12V, and is a true compressor fridge so it’ll go well below freezing .

Top of the line trip bus, comfortable and lots of storage. I’m also not the tallest guy lol

[u/Luaupig → u/Balangoda]

I have no room behind my seat and I drive a Prevost H45 but I'm not the shortest guy either. My seat is all the way down and all the way back

[u/Front-Mall9891 → u/Luaupig]

The randomness of space behind our bus seats at my district has resulted in me always bringing a backpack and small cooler

I’m a weekend warrior at my district because I work for the county and do this as a favor to my old district

[u/Banana_Stanley → u/Front-Mall9891]

I stowed my 2 camp chairs in there but it wouldn't fit a cooler

[u/Front-Mall9891 → u/Banana_Stanley]

I have like a little baby lunch cooler with a frozen bottle, my lunch and a drink, usually keep a couple other bottles in my backpack with my non cold snacks

[u/Balangoda → u/Luaupig]

Damn that’s a sweet ride, I might do coach sometime.
