“Every year, domestic auto-tourism is becoming more and more in demand in Russia. It is predicted that by 2035 the number of people traveling in this way will grow by 2.5 times. However, at the moment it is impossible to call this format of tourism absolutely comfortable. Of course, powerbanks for recharging gadgets and GPS-navigators have long become familiar attributes of long-distance travel, but this is only a small part of what can facilitate the life of a car traveler.

What else should you buy on the road to make it easy and pleasant in every sense?”.

Radar-detector

It will help to determine the location of the nearest traffic police post and reduce the number of speeding tickets. Just do not confuse this device with an anti-radar – the principle of action and purpose of these gadgets are different. Radar-detector just receives certain signals from the radars of traffic police officers and informs the driver about approaching them. Some devices have built-in GPS. This is very convenient if you are driving in unfamiliar terrain.

Headphones with active noise canceling

Listening to loud music, racing at a speed of 100+ km / h – a separate kind of pleasure, but this format is not suitable for everyone and not always. If you want to play an interesting podcast or a useful webinar on the road, you’ll definitely need silence. This is where headphones with Active Noise Cancellation can help.

Headphones TWS Mpow X3 ANC, 7499 rubles / dns-shop.ru

Here we can recommend a model in the TWS-case: hands are free, and the cords do not interfere and do not get lost. Some versions are equipped with a bone conduction sensor, which improves the quality of speech when talking on the phone, and have a waterproof and dustproof housing (pay attention to the numbers next to the IP symbols).

Smart earplugs

It is important to rest on the road, and here it is better to protect yourself from noise not with the help of headphones, but with special earplugs. Models with active noise reduction are activated about 20-30 seconds after removal. This is done so that the user can feel the difference between them and traditional solutions. When you have to spend the night at a campground near a busy place or share a small area of a motorhome with a person who snores, these earplugs can be a real lifesaver.

Portable charging station

What if an ordinary powerbank (also called a universal mobile battery) is not enough for your tasks? The problem of finding a reliable source of power for motorhomes is especially relevant, but even ordinary car travelers, if the trip will last for several days, will not feel comfortable even with the most powerful powerbank and its several USB-outputs of different types.

In this case, a portable charging station is a great alternative, because you can connect not only low-power gadgets, but also equipment with “serious” parameters of power consumption: car refrigerators, laptops, hair dryers, power tools and much more. It is important that this device weighs only a few kilograms. The station is easy to carry thanks to the side handles, and it will definitely not take up the entire trunk. It can also always be retrofitted with solar panels and additional batteries if desired.

Bonus – with a portable charging station like the EcoFlow Delta 2 in your car, the list of gadgets that are sure to delight you on your road trip expands significantly.

Cigarette lighter splitter

If you have several gadgets that are powered by the cigarette lighter, you don’t have to figure out how to connect them in order. The task is solved by the simplest splitter, which increases the number of inputs several times. Thanks to this you can have a GPS navigator, smartphone charger and FM transmitter on at the same time. Some splitters, in addition to two or three standard outputs, have one or more USB sockets, to which it is convenient to connect the native cable for charging.

Folding silicone electric kettle

Thanks to the soft silicone body, this kettle is easy to fold and takes up a minimum of space – no more than a low cup. In one approach is able to boil up to 0.5 liters of water, which is just enough for a couple of cups of tea or coffee, and the process of bringing to a boil will take no more than 3-4 minutes. The kettle is powered from the 110-220V mains, but with an alternative energy source in the car this is no longer a problem.

FM transmitter/modulator

This is a radio transmitter with which you can listen to your favorite music on the road, even if your car is not equipped with a standard audio system. It is enough to have a flash drive or even a memory card with tracks recorded on it, and pleasant pastime is ensured – the music will be broadcasted by the OEM FM radio receiver.

Portable sterilizer

The interior of the car – the ideal environment for the reproduction of bacteria and viruses. If you are traveling with a child, the issue of hygiene is acute. Dirty hands, toys, etc. The portable UV sterilizer is suitable for disinfecting pacifiers, chews, baby dishes, as well as for treating small gadgets: phones, smartwatches, headphones, etc.

A seat belt for your pet

It is definitely not provided in the standard equipment of the car, which truly upsets the owners of four-legged friends. Auto belt for dogs looks like a strong and relatively short leash, which is fixed to a standard carabiner, and at its other end there is a loop or clip for attaching to the regular seat belt in the car. Under hard braking, your dog won’t fall off the seat or get injured. This does not negate the need to at least lightly restrain your pet while driving, though.

Car coffee maker

Some coffee makers are able to work without electricity and even without built-in batteries, which makes them an ideal choice for tourism. Espresso machines with a pressure of 18-20 bar prepare a single serving of a flavorful drink in just a couple of minutes and are compatible with a single type of capsules. If desired, the coffee maker can be connected to a 12/24V power supply, but in general it is completely independent of any power source, and its coffee brewing abilities will please true connoisseurs.
