Best feeding, potty, and water schedule for dogs on a road trip?

Question

we are about to go on a road-trip with three medium dogs(my parents two collie mixes one is a senior and the other has thyroid/weight problems) and Sarah . my question is: since we will be leaving/ arriving well before / after normal feed time(total on road time is 24hrs 10 mins) should we feed before we leave& after arrival or stop at the normal times to feed? also how often do you recommend doggie potty stops and should we offer water at every stop. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 50 lbs

It would probably be easiest to feed before and after, although if the dogs are used to a strict schedule it might be better to try to feed at the normal time. I think either choice is fine! I would probably offer water and a potty break every 4-6 hours.
