Need that morning coffee? You can get a device that makes a full pot and plugs into the cigarette lighter on your vehicle! Keeping your food cold is important and you can’t always count on being able to get to town to get more ice. A compact refrigerator and even compact freezer can be ideal for your vehicle by the river.

You need to make sure you properly store all food, either in the refrigerator or in cabinets. The smell of food can attract animals that you want to keep away. You need to have a secure way to keep trash free from smelling and out of reach of the animals. There should be a location around the river area where you can throw things away. Collect trash daily from your vehicle so it won’t stink.

If you plan to be at the river for a period of time, consider building a box like contraption that will be hard for any animal to open. This can be a wonderful way to store the trash until you can take it to another location. It also keeps the trash outside so that significantly reduces the risk of the vehicle starting to smell because of it.

Of course these appliances will significantly increase the cost invested in your vehicle. Still, if it is a long term living area you can add items that will enhance the value. You can benefit from them while you use it and also have improved selling power when you are done with it.

If you plan to create a vehicle that will have running water for the sink, shower, or toilet, you are going to need a water tank. You have quite a few options with them including the size. The more water you need to use daily the larger size you will need to get. They are going to take up several feet of space.

There are those that offer fresh water and those that have tanks to hold sewer water. A fresh water tank will offer you a spot to put a water pump. They will operate with a 12 volt power resource. The pump will allow the water system to have pressure. It will only operate when you turn on a faucet and the rest of the time it is idle, not continually using power.
