| You will need **food to eat**. Fast food is extremely expensive. Sandwiches made from deli supplies will be inexpensive. Since you probably won't be able to [[food:cooking|cook]] yet, focus on foods that can be eaten cold. You'll need a good manual can opener in any case. Peanut butter is a great bang-for-buck. Since you [[food:no_refrigeration|likely will not have a fridge]], leftovers should be kept to a minimum. Buy only what you can eat. | You will need **food to eat**. Fast food is extremely expensive.

| | You will need to [[hygiene:bathing|wash yourself]]. You might bring a rag into a public restroom (bring a baggie so you can put the wet rag in it on the way out), pour some water into a bowl, use wipes. etc. |

| You will need a way to **dispose of [[camping:dispersed:trash|trash]]**. Stuff trash inside other pieces of trash; loose bits inside jars and cans, for example. Toss trash into receptacles whenever possible. | You will need a way to **dispose of [[camping:dispersed:trash|trash]]**.

| For **privacy**, you can use a sunscreen in your front windshield and cut-to-shape cardboard (preferably dark or painted) on side windows. Hanging clothes up in the window is a sure giveaway. | For **privacy**, you can use a sunscreen in your front windshield and cut-to-shape cardboard (preferably dark or painted) on side windows.

| For **power**, most charging for small devices like phones and tablets will be by USB. Some newer vehicles have USB jacks built in. If not, you can find ones that fit into the cigarette lighter in dollar stores and similar. Charge as often as you can, preferably while driving. See [[electrical:12v:intro#what_you_can_run_in_the_van|this discussion of power options]]. | For **power**, most charging for small devices like phones and tablets will be by USB.

If you will be going to work or public indoor space regularly [[rv:build:minimal#survival_micropower|a small battery pack]] and extension cord may serve you well. |

| | A **gym membership** will get you a place to shower, use the restroom, use wifi, etc. And exercise if you are into that. :-) |
