"In a road trip" vs "On a road trip"

Both phrases show millions results in Google, but I don't understand the difference between these two.

Which one is correct? If both, what are the differences?

I don't think I've ever heard "in a road trip" before (in the UK) except in certain uses. It may perhaps depend a bit on the verb before etc. For example I see on Google, "buy and sell antiques in a road trip around Cheshire" which sounds natural, with all parts of the road-trip being the purpose of the trip (rather than a road trip where you're just interested in the destination).
