Living the Nomadic Life: Best Car for the Road (Addendum)
I’ve been writing the following ‘Living the Nomadic Life’ series, but wanted to follow up with post 2, Best Car for the Road.

In the original Best Car for the Road post, I mentioned my friend Prairie and her van. At the time of the post I didn’t have any pics of her van, so thought I would simply create this additional post as an addendum.
In my opinion, Prairie’s set up is a type of Dream Vehicle for the road. It might not be as great on gas as a small car, but it definitely is more comfortable and provides some privacy.

The mini-van provides plenty of space, yet isn’t a huge beast. Prairie had it arranged so all her belongings were organized in stacks, creating a true home atmosphere.

The other side of the car, from the packed point of view.

Her bed was at the very back creating an open “room” where she could move around.

Another view of the inside. Yep, her vehicle definitely looks a lot moe cozy than my Honda civic set-up. =)
What about you readers? Have you done a long trip where you lived in your vehicle? If so, what do you suggest?
