Hello all, I’ll be road tripping E to W coast for coachella weekend 2 this year. This involves a whole bunch of firsts for me as I’ve never road tripped alone, nor been to a multi day festival! I’m crazy excited but also nervous and have a few questions. 1. I already have a car appt set up to get a fresh oil change and tire rotation prior to leaving. Any other prep work I should need for my car to make sure it runs smoothly? I drive a 2015 honda with only 50k miles on it and no overdue maintenance. 2. i plan on sleeping in a comfy setup that ive made in my back area after taking out seats and building a makeshift bedframe. Ive read a lot about sleeping in truck stops and hospital lots. Can yall confirm that idea as being a good one? 3. Ive seen 400-500 miles as being a realistic amount to try and achieve each day without it being too exhausting. I don’t want the trip to be a suicide drive going through the night. In total I’m looking at 2500 miles each way, would 5 days be realistic or should I aim for closer to a week of driving each way?

Thanks for any response! And apologies for rehashing some faqs I am just trying to prepare in every way I can.
