For me, I wanted to maximize for success, and so far following good advice has done that.

That would be great, but I'm afraid that the beers would be warm after a 26 hour drive with no A/C!!

Yeah, that makes sense. Do you think it would be worthwhile to attempt to change all the orings proactively before starting in?
