Former Brazilian deputy prosecutor-general Solange Mendes de Souza converted a motorhome into a home to carry her piano after retirement. The Piano Nômade project has covered Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile and Peru, logging nearly 50,000 km. The motorhome is equipped with solar panels, lithium batteries, a diesel stove and tanks for 260 litres of water. The next stage is North America (US, Mexico, Canada).

Inside a motorhome: how life on wheels works without giving up comfort

A look at the interior of a modern motorhome shows how every centimeter is optimized. The compact kitchen includes a cooktop, sink, microwave and a three-way refrigerator that runs on 12V, LPG gas or 110/220V. The bathroom has a chemical toilet with a holding tank and a shower that uses water from a fresh water tank. The living area converts from a dinette with two sofas into a bed at night. Motorhomes with a gross weight up to 6,000 kg can be driven with a standard B license; heavier models require a D license. Power comes from a dedicated house battery charged by the engine, solar panels or shore power.
