Chapter 2: Accessorize the Vehicle For Your Needs

What will take your vehicle that you plan to live in by the river from just a shell to what you call home is how you accessorize it. There are quite a few options that you can consider to make it practical, usable, and to make it low cost. It all depends on if you want to go bare bones or completely self-contained for living will determine what you do.

Your own personal needs have to be assessed before you move forward with it. Do you want only beds, seats for relaxing, and maybe a place to make easy meals? If so, you can set it up for you to do so very easily. You can also set things up for your cooking to all be done outside of the vehicle.

There are quite a few options for doing so. This includes stoves, grills, and even ovens that you can use at a campsite. You don’t want to always rely on starting a fire due to many areas having fire bans that will prevent you from doing so. You need to have a safe and practical alternative. Many of these stoves, grills, and ovens, are small and they don’t take up much space. You can easily store them when not in use.

Building shelves and cabinets can be a wonderful way to make the inside look nice and to have room for your items. There are home improvement stores that already have them made too so you can buy them and just install them. You don’t always have to buy new items either. You can look online, go to yard sales, and go to second hand stores to find used items at a fraction of the cost.
