For my family's cross-country road trip this summer (I am cheating and flying out to meet them in South Dakota because I can only really take 10 days or so off in August before fall semester starts) - my parents are renting an RV and driving for 3 weeks... There will be all 5 of us in the RV at some points, so my dad is laying down some interesting "necessities" to bring, in his words... it gets weirder as you scroll down
