These Are The Cars You Could Live In For A Month

“A hearse.

“Nice long sleeping area. The fact it’s a hearse means people would probably leave it alone. It’s modern and probably pretty comfy.”

It turns out that the hearse is actually a pretty practical vehicle. There are four doors and seats for two, and its cavernous rear end has plenty of space for sleeping. Plus, did you know that they’re also kinda quick too? The fastest recorded speed for a hearse was 115.6mph.

“There’s already a camping community around the Model 3. You can buy a mattress that fits when the rear seats are folded flat, and curtains that fit the windows to provide privacy.

“The car has camp mode already and will maintain a temperature. Book a camp spot with power and it can stay plugged in.”

This is a pretty nifty suggestion, and this poster is right that you can buy a fold-away mattress specifically designed to fit your battery-powered car. Also, we’ve all heard enough about the in-car games machine and built-in karaoke, so you know you won’t get bored.

“I could live in a ‘79 Chevy suburban for a lot longer than a month.”

Seating for nine and the capacity to carry more than 3,000lbs makes the Suburban a good choice. What’s more, if the back row is taken out, there’s plenty of space to lie out after a hard day on the road.

“I have zero interest in living in anything less than this.

“Even five years ago, a good T2 Westy would run about what I paid for my place in Florida. Heck, I only paid $10K more than my M235i for my Mother’s condo, and it has two shitters. My personal definition of luxury is a choice of toilets.”

This might basically be just a house on wheels, but we like this poster’s style. Good choice.

“Obviously the Toyota RV-2.”

Honestly, I’ve never seen this car before in my life and now I think I need one. The Toyota RV-2 is a concept car from 1972. It boasts a clamshell roof design in the rear of the car, which can open up to create sufficient space for four people to sleep.

“Pinzgauer 718. Plenty of space and utility if I want to go off-grid.”

Now we’re talking. Never mind living in this for a month, this looks like the kind of place you could outlive the rest of humanity! Available as a four- or six-wheel-drive monster, this definitely has enough space to pack in a few creature comforts.

“I lived in my 2002 V6 4X4 Tacoma TRD for a lot longer than a month. Drove it from Moab Utah to Marathon Key”

The Taco was one of the few pickup trucks that received a nod today. But, with some imaginative thinking and maybe a rear-mounted camping pod you could have yourself a tidy little home with a smaller pickup truck.

“That’s still a camper van, so be cool about it and go electric

“More maneuverable than those behemoth quad-cab pickups clogging the highways, so yeah, duh. Go with the super-obvious choice: the camper van. And be green-ish about it with an electric one.”

Nissan has brought out a few pint-sized camper concepts based off its diminutiveNV200 van. Recently, this included a wintery machine built around the all-electric model, and it definitely looks like quite a nice place to spend a few weeks.

“I lived for 16 days in a VW Fox. You can live everywhere, if you lower your standards enough!”

In total, the VW Fox was in production between 2003 and 2021, with stints in both Europe and Latin America. The compact city car came as a three- or five-door hatchback with space for five adults and a small trunk.

“I was so excited to respond and then you threw that word comfort in there. A 325i sedan is not comfortable by any stretch of the word but you will at least stay dry, mostly. A Ford E350 will definitely give you levels of comfort but still require quite a bit of adjustment to your lifestyle or extensive modifications to the vehicle.

“A 95 G20 van is similar to the Econoline but overall comfort is increased without having to modify. True and honest comfort in relation to how the average American wants to live versus what they need, you basically have to get an RV. Most Americans can’t even imagine a lifestyle that doesn’t include a shower and toilet with unlimited access to water let alone the inability to control your environments temperature down to the degree.

“I assert however, the closer you can get to homelessness without actually being homeless helps you to understand how far we are from a reasonable definition of freedom.”

A few different options from this poster, depending on the level of comfort you expect from a month in your car.
