If you have the vehicle insured, make sure the coverage will also include the contents. Then take digital photos and keep them at a safe location, not in the vehicle, where you can access them should you have a theft, water damages, or you experience a fire.

Avoid using candles or lanterns in your vehicle as they are dangerous. You can opt for some solar lights though and just put them outside during the day to collect the energy. Then you can use them at night inside of the vehicle. This is a great idea if you aren’t going to have electricity for it.

You can also rely on flameless candles to help you create the atmosphere you want without any risk. They never get hot and they will continue to offer hours and hours of light when you turn them on. They are LED battery based so they don’t use much energy to keep them going.

There are even flameless candles that have timers on them. Will you be returning to the vehicle after dark? Just set the timers so that they will come on at a given time. Then you will have light when you return. The timer can also give others in the area that someone is in the vehicle when it is empty. This can deter the risk of theft.

These flameless candles have certainly come a long way. You will find those that sit on tables and those that you can put in holders on the wall for decorations. In addition to the round shape you will find square and rectangle shapes. They are also offered in a variety of colors.

Some even have a very realistic effect with a flickering wick or what appears to be melted wax at the top. You won’t miss real candles at all with them in place! Check them out and see what you think!

Rotate your supplies so that nothing expires. When you buy new items, move other items forward and put those in the back. This way you always have a system for what you will use. Have a calendar that you use for maintenance and for battery changing schedules. Speaking of batteries, always make sure you have plenty of extras on hand for the various devices in your vehicle.

Being organized is important when you have this much in one small space. Make sure items overhead are going to stay in place so that they don’t fall on you when you walk by. Less is more in terms of what you have out in the open. By putting items upward instead of outward you will have more room – but make sure you do it safely.
