I have a friend who is moving from Denver to Miami, he has about 900 albums and is going to drive them himself. Any tips how to keep the vehicle cool to stop things warping or are we over thinking this?
Haven’t we done this? Here…
Yep, but 300 of them have already melted...

There is some debate about climate-controlled vs. non-climate-controlled moving trucks, but in reality, there is no need to spend the extra cheddar on a climate-controlled vehicle. If you pack your records correctly and stack them vertically, a hot move won’t bother them. The main concern is direct sunlight. As long as you don’t dawdle in Phoenix in mid-July and protect them from direct sunlight during pickup and delivery, your babies will be fine.

Vehicle with air-con. Stack them flat in boxes with a 12" piece of particle board in the bottom of each box. It'll be a multi-day drive so either move all the boxes into your air-conditioned motel room at night or pack bags of ice around them if you need to leave them in the vehicle overnight.
Weird I couldn’t see the other post after I posted, thought it was a glitch or something,
Sorry for wasting people’s time, cheers Sharkattack for heads up.
