Question about long road trips with cats

I'm moving from Reno, NV to Brooklyn, NY and plan to drive my three cats there. I'm nervous about the trip. I love my cats and know they won't enjoy being on the road. Still, even four or five days in a minivan strikes me as more humane than flying these particular cats (even in the passenger cabin--I'd never put them in cargo!). I just don't think they'd deal well with airports, planes, etc. I have large, mobile pet homes for each one of them, and these are large enough for the cats to stand up in, change positions, etc. A friend will be with me to occasionally let them out of their carriers (one at a time, of course) so that they can relieve themselves in a litter box. I'd love to hear from someone who's done this, who can offer tips or even just tell me that they did it and everything was okay. I'm a worrier, I'm afraid, especially when it comes to my cats.
