While we enjoy our long summer get away trips across the country, the Interstate system takes its toll out on your vehicles ( maybe that is why they call them toll roads ). ???
We experienced some of the worst roads in our country this year that caused already worn shocks and air bags to completely break down. 
Our friends who followed us with their 5th wheel said they literally saw my Honda Civic come completely off the ground a few times on I-84.
We had to replace Shocks, Struts, and do an alignment on the Honda.   We also had to repair the Air Conditioner, Air Bags, house batteries, roof is being replaced with RV-Armor roof, and several internal items that came completely off the wall or unglued from the floor trim.
The long trip was expensive enough, but then having to spend almost 6 thousand in repairs was a little more than normal.

Hope these tips and discussions of our repairs will help you if you need to do anything similar.  It is cheaper if you can do your own labor but sometimes that just isn't practical or safe.
