Don't try it. Doesn't work so well.
I am speaking mainly of traveling from motel to motel, now, not the "take your own stuff with you" motorhome style of travel. That is a different story. This is car to motel to car to sightseeing type travel.
I took lots of projects with me. I worked on them all, well almost all. I took some beads, but never opened up that box. Too much work to schlep the stuff into the motel, open it, spread it all out, decide which bead, etc, etc, etc. I did work on all my knitting projects. This is what happened. I started several projects. I finished one project, the green spring teeshirt. The rest are in various stages of waiting to be finished.
Okay, I forgot, I did finish two of the Cats in Balls project. But then I started another one. And the head was too small, so I ended up with one (incomplete) cat and one head without a cat. To be finished later. I did not get the cat complete, as by that time I had stored my tapestry needle somewhere and couldn't find it. It was difficult sewing stuff together in the car. So this meant schlepping all the stuff into the motel room to work on, then schlepping it back out to the car the next morning. UGH.
Next time I travel this way (which will be never, if I have my way) I will take one large project, and just work on that. Perhaps a hooded lace cardigan on size two or three needles. That way, I won't have so much stuff to schlep around.
I started five or six projects, or continued working on them, but got stuck on every one, mainly because of the issue of it all being shoved in the back seat of our car. I did accomplish things, but it is not the best way to go.
Hope you find the right way to go for your projects.
