I'm planning a long road trip in the month of October (possibly into November). I'd like to bring a mandolin and ukulele with me, but I'll be camping most of the trip, so I'm concerned about storing them in the car.
Early in the trip, I'll mostly be up north (northern Michigan, slowly making my way over to Montana), so temperatures should be low. They will likely stay above freezing, but definitely could drop below.
Later in the trip (late October/early November), I'll be in the southwest (Utah, Arizona). This time of year, temperatures shouldn't be too high, but you never know and could easily end up with a 90 degree day. Plus, even when it's cool, a sunny day can mean a very hot car, which could then lead to damage to the instruments.
So, I'm wondering if anybody has any tips. Should I not be worried about it? Are there precautions I can take to protect the instruments? Or should I just suck up the fact that I won't get to play music for a month?
