Hi, Buddy travels in the boot, because whatever harness/barrier I have he can get through, and I don't think driving down the road with a 20kg on my lap is a good idea 
He's always been fine traveling in the boot, he cwtches down and goes to sleep. The only problem we have is that the way to go on the motorway is the same as the way to the vets. Once we're past there he's fine.
I don't have water in the boot for him, he won't touch it. I stop after an hour driving to let us both have a walk and a drink. He gets carsick if he eats, or drinks too much. I think he's learned by now that too much in his belly equals vomit everywhere. Before anyone says anything, I'll point out that I leave the house at 6, and I'm down in Tenby by 8:30, stopping for half an hour, where he has a little drink, so he has a quick walk there, then a drink and his breakfast.
I've got the cool mat in the boot on his bed, and I've got 2 fans on order, one for me and one for him. Saturday we're off down Halfords and Pets at Home to look for blinds and a cool coat/collar. The only problem I can see with getting a coat for him is that he's a lurcher. He's usually too skinny for regular dog coats, but a bit too bulky for whippet coats. And before anyone says velcro straps, the ones across the chest usually adjust fine, but the ones that go in front of his hind legs usually end up with the coat getting wrapped right around his crotch and straps dangling everywhere. There's a reason why I custom order his winter coats.
