>>1384428I lived in my sedan for 2 months while traveling around the US. It was quite comfy. I removed the glove box and passenger head rest and had about 7 feet of space to lie down on (the passenger seat folded flat to meet the rear seats). I threw several pillows on the rear seats and was golden.
- Buy front/rear window sun shades, and then sun shade made from spandex material to cover the side windows (I would also tint your windows if you like privacy).
- Blankets for the cold (or a nice sleeping bag)
- Japanese Hario hand powered coffee grinder. Do this at night, pour in some water, and come morning you'll have a very strong cup of coffee. The grains settle into a cake at the bottom so you can drink it without a filter.
- Get an inverter so you have a 120V plug for your laptop and other electronics
- Canned food (baked beans, chili, thick soups). Bread and butter (non irish cultured butter doesnt liquify in the heat and stays fresh for awhile if sealed).
- 8-10 gallons of water for drinking, bathing, brushing teeth. You can fill these up at a gas station for free. For bathing, you just need a gallon: soak, soap, rinse.
- 7-10 days worth of clothes. Detergent for the laundromat.
- Fork/Spoon/Knife, a bowl, and two smaller bowls or cups for drinking (sealable)
- Plastic bags for trash. Keep these away from your living space cause it smells. Dump at a gas station.
- Kindle for reading. You'll have lots of time.
- Clean your car every 1-2 weeks. It's a small space where you'll be eating and sleeping.
- Never sleep in the same place two nights in a row unless it's 100% legal. Look on google maps, search for green areas, then satellite view to find a place to pull off and sleep in peace. Avoid busy roads. Try to have 3-4 places to rotate through in one area
I recommend you go out to a restaurant 2-3 times a week so you dont go crazy on canned food. Tell people you're traveling and they'll immediately be interested in talking with you.
