An account describes sleeping in a compact car and solving practical problems in a limited space. To prevent keys being locked inside, the author adopted a rule of entering and exiting only through the driver's door, since the central locking does not engage while that door is open. For washing inside the vehicle, a small plastic tank, a drain tray and a simple bucket with a drainage hole were combined. The author states that testing and refining these solutions during trips mattered more than the destinations themselves.
