Show/cruise comforts
I'm thinking about shows and cruises. I got to wondering what all creature comforts everyone takes. The usual things like a chair and pop up are pretty much a given but what about other stuff, cameras, music, and such. Also I realize longer trip and multi day shows usually mean more stuff. My self I usually take
Camera chair Popup tent cooler loaded and snacks Cell roll of paper towels Kindle or truck mags For longer trips 3 days or more I usually add Laptop suitcase with extra clothes Toiletries. Toolbox 2nd spare trips over 400 mi round trip. Chargers for electronics Anyone have any adds they would share

Re: Show/cruise comforts
If it's a local show or something it's usually chairs and a cooler. Maybe the easy-up. Larger shows I'll add the grill.

Re: Show/cruise comforts
Chairs, cooler, camera, and tent--along with the appropriate bug and bird particle removal products. I had a guy at our truck show with a power converter and a electric polisher, doing his paint when he arrived at the show. I have friends that have a fold up set of table and chairs, so that they can sit and eat.
Long hauls like the power tour, tools, distributor cap, rotor, plugs, starter, and alternator. I have been broke down in places where parts are not available, before--especially on a weekend. Spare bolts, and wiring parts are a must.

Re: Show/cruise comforts
I'm really lucky in my area. There is a huge car following. On any given weekend from early spring to late fall there is a car show/cruise somewhere within 10 miles from me, and quite a few are 5 minutes or less. I normally just bring a chair.
When I went to the Mustang 50th show in Charlotte I brought a chair, but never sat down, there was something like 5,000 mustangs there on Friday to look at!

Re: Show/cruise comforts
I try to bring snack food because after having my surgery I have a touchy stomach and greasy food doesn't settle well. I also bring bottled water instead of beer or soda just safer that way for me.
