1200 mile drive - what to check before drive

I have a new job and I am relocating from orlando to Chicago

So this is going to a long drive on my 1992 190e with 130000 miles. it going to be pretty loaded with stuff.
clothes, computers, monitor, books etc...

I just had an oil change, spark pluges changes, air filter, hosed down the cooling system...

I am going to get the tranmission fuild changed. and see if i can get my stop light and sudden braking stalling fixed...(see my posy 190E stall + idling)...

Other than that - my car runs just fine and very smooth - just needs a drink holder :(

what else should I check for ??

Drive carefully[;)]
and have a nice trip!
I'm sure she'll hold up just fine if you take care of her. Gas, oil and water is everything these baby's need.
No worries mate!
