Everybody loves to take a road trip, especially when the weather is just right and you have all the luxury items you are accustomed to at home, on the road. Is that possible, you might ask? It is if you have a 12-volt adaptor in your car or what many refer to as a cigarette lighter.

So, what types of luxury items are available to you that run off 12-volt that one shouldnt travel without?

1. The Heated Travel Mug - Most hardcore road trippers drink a substantial amount of coffee or tea while driving. And there is nothing worse than having to drink cold coffee. Of course it is easy for ones coffee to grow cold, that is unless you have a heated travel mug. The heated travel mug plugs into your 12-volt accessory port and fits nicely into your vehicles cup holder. The constant heat provided to your mug keeps your drink at the perfect temperature for each sip. What is the perfect temperature? You get to decide as the mugs heat is adjustable. And, because it is a travel mug, it also has a spill-proof lid.

2. Coffee Maker - If you are one of those people who hate to make stops when you are on the road- having your own coffee pot is the way to go.

3. Refrigerator - We have heard of people traveling with everything but the kitchen sink, how about traveling with a refrigerator? A 12-volt refrigerator looks like a souped-up ice chest. Sizes range from 14 quart to 43 quart. Some models have a freezer on one side and refrigeration on the other. Having both, you can keep all your drinks icy cold and even make ice. With a refrigerator you never have to worry about ice melting and ruining your food nor having to continue stocking up on ice.

No need suffering.

5. Heater or Fan - Speaking of car camping, whether you are sleeping in a tent or in the back of your vehicle, it is nice to be comfortable, just like at home.
