Yes all good sense Gazz, everyone could follow that advice. On the matter of plans there are the plans about how to set up your vehicle,
what to take and what to leave behind. That list does require a fair bit of thought. Likewise you could have an overall list of
places that you would like to see, but avoid the temptation to put a timeframe around that. You wont see everything and there will be lots of
places not on your list where you really feel you would like to stay for a fair while. And so on...
Sarndra, the topic of travelling with pets really raises the temperature, as in this recent post
here. You certainly cant take pets into national parks, but some parks will allow you to travel through with a pet. The scent of pets can affect the wildlife which is one of the reasons the NPs are there in the first place. The risk of 1080 baits is also very real.
Other tips for your fairly broad question is to have a good dig around in this whole site as you will find the answers to most of your questions already here - even to questions you may not have though of yet.
Travelling is about gaining experience so while tips will help you avoid some of the issues there is no substitute for getting out there and learning from your own mistakes. A good idea is to do as many short "shakedown" trips as you can before you set out on the big one. That at least lets you iron out some of the more obvious wrinkles.
Keep a diary.
Cheers,
Val.
