You will need **a place to [[rv:build:bed|sleep]]**. Luckily, many seats in cars/trucks recline. If you are by yourself you may even take out the passenger seat to make a flat spot to sleep. Many cars have rear seats that fold so your feet can stick into the trunk. If you are in a cold area a blanket or sleeping bag will be helpful. | [[https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/gex1wc/simple_sleeping_setup/|{{ https://i.redd.it/rzte7u6nv8x41.jpg?200}}]]You will need **a place to [[rv:build:bed|sleep]]**. |
Vans obviously have much larger areas where one can lay flat on a seat, mat, or cot. | |

You will need **a place to pee**. A [[lifestyle:faq_toilet|gatorade bottle or similar]] is common. Women may want to use wider-mouth jars. You will also need **a place to poop**. With any luck you will have access to a public restroom. If not, a couple grocery bags (doubled up) will do; tie off and dispose of in the trash. You might also dig a cathole if you are in a place with grass or soil. | * many seats in cars/trucks recline.

You will need **[[water:drinking|water]] to drink**, to clean the vehicle and yourself up. Empty soda bottles are tough and hold water well. Rinse them out and fill in water fountains, spigots, sinks, whatever. | You will need **[[water:drinking|water]] to drink**, to clean the vehicle and yourself up.
