Cooking equipment
Cooking by yourself is more cost-effective, and able to eat delicious, but what kind of equipment to choose, it depends on what kind of car you are.
Cassette Stove: The advantages are that it is simple, readily available and inexpensive. The disadvantage is that the fire is not enough, there is a certain safety risk, if the matching pot is too large, it is easy to burst the stove, the high altitude will also be inconvenient;
Split Gas Stove: The advantage is that the fire is relatively strong, available at any time, the disadvantage is that the endurance is not enough, a tank of gas can not be used a few times, the need for a large number of reserve gas tanks;
Bamboo Fire Stove: Advantages of the cost of inexpensive, pick up firewood on the use of the shortcomings is that the fuel is not Everywhere, often can find firewood, and not allowed to light a fire;
All of the above is an open fire, but in most areas of the country, are not recommended, because now the fire prevention and control of fire is very strict, the landscape is good place rarely can be open fire.
Induction cooker: the advantage is that the fire is enough, no open flame, not affected by the weather environment, the disadvantage is that the power requirements are high, the current support is better is the new energy vehicle, comes with an inverter and feeder charging system, such as the respondent's love of the car, never consider the lack of electricity;

Shovels, outdoor knife, basic survival equipment: If you want to cross the no man's land, these tools are a must. Sometimes a multi-functional outdoor knife can give you a lot of help, much more useful than a fruit knife;
Tent, outdoor chairs, folding table: you can sleep in the car, but not bad for a canopy tent. A good canopy can help you enhance your outdoor experience a lot. The respondent will often put up the canopy, enjoy the scenery at the same time, but also can cover the sun and rain. Outdoor chairs must be a comfortable one, do not try to be convenient and buy a set. If you are traveling for a long time, a good chair will make you very willing to stay outdoors; folding table is the same, too small or too simple structure, can not adapt to a variety of terrain, it will make your plan in an awkward situation.
Battery: extra supplemental power, if your car is not a new energy vehicle, outdoor electricity is a headache.
Water tank: general 20L water tank is enough, a person can use a long time, too much waste, you carry also tired.
Vehicle protection equipment
Tire repair / tire tools must be prepared, since it is a bed car, it means that you will be traveling for a long time, you may face a variety of road conditions, once the road tire out of condition, it will be more trouble.

Personally, I think these are a must.
1. Food. Prepare some food in the car, in case you can't cook, such as compressed cookies, ham sausage, etc. can top hungry. Bring some kitchenware, you can cook for yourself when you have time.
2. Wear something. The best thing to wear is to bring the same in spring, summer, fall and winter. Because the climatic conditions of each place are not quite the same, the temperature at noon and at night are different, so you can prevent colds and make the trip easier and more enjoyable. At the same time bring something to protect against rain, we usually bring umbrellas. You can also bring a rushing jacket, small rain will not need to hit the umbrella.
3. Bedding. That is, your quilt sheet pillow. These things do not need to buy new, just use the usual used, so that the comfort is a little higher.
4. Small accessories that must be brought in the car. For example, pump, jack, etc..
5. Medicine. Cold, fever, diarrhea, anti-inflammatory, usually with what medicine almost all bring a little it, in case of emergency.
6. ID card and money.
These are the things we must bring when traveling in a bed car.
Bed buggy travel, now many friends are more interested in this, although there are many problems and shortcomings, but it is also a way to travel, I have done so many times over the years.
On the bed car, because most of the time the car is still used to commute to work to use, so do not want to carry out a large modification of their cars, so the following problems are more influential: First, the compartment to make the bed needs to be a little more space; second is to make the bed will lead to the baggage there is no place to put it; third is to stop and rest when there is no bathroom and no water used for washing up; fourth is to stop and rest, need to solve the ventilation, heat preservation, and so on. Fourth, when stopping to rest, it is necessary to solve the problems of ventilation, warmth, anti-mosquito, safety, etc.; Fifth, after stopping, the power supply of the equipment, charging and other problems. If these problems can be solved, bed car for short-term temporary rest or can, then how to solve these problems, what equipment is needed?
First, a large enough space and a comfortable mattress is important. My car is a large space 7-seat SUV, the back two rows can be put all flat, before and after the purchase of three kinds of mats, the first is fully inflatable, easy to store, but the comfort is relatively poor, especially when the weather is relatively cold, can not sleep for a long time will feel very cold; the second is a thin inflatable mattress used in the tent, the two single cushions put together, and also relatively thin, the comfort of the same is not good; the third is the inclusion of 10cm thick sponge pad inflatable cushion, this is not dedicated to the car, storage is also very difficult, but fall asleep comfort is very good (the first picture is my car padded cushion, because it is not a dedicated cushion, so in the position of the tires cushion a little folded; the third picture is not open cushion, the volume is still relatively large).
Second, install a roof box to solve the luggage problem. In order to make the bed when the luggage can have a place to put, bought a larger roof box on the Internet, there are more than 400 liters of volume, enough to put down a lot of luggage, but this also brings some other problems, increased wind noise, higher fuel consumption (about 1 liters/100km), and the need to dismantle the car when the review.
Third, the bed car is very difficult to solve the problem of the bathroom, so the parking point near the need to have a bathroom, usually I usually just in a hurry, parked in the highway service area to sleep, other times or need to go to live in the hotel, because the bathroom can not solve the problem of bathing.
Fourth, a need to prepare some can be folded into a cushion quilt, be sure to prepare more than a few, put away is a cushion, open is a thin quilt, the weather is cold on the cover of a bed; second is to prepare some gauze, sleep when the window is open a slit, gauze stuck in the window to prevent mosquitoes from entering the third is ready to prepare a USB port of the small fan (to buy that kind of with a clip), when the weather is relatively hot! For ventilation; four is to prepare two or three high-capacity charging treasure to solve the problem of electricity; five is to prepare a car car boiling water cup, at any time to ensure that there is hot water to drink; six is to prepare two car cell phone charger, to meet the demand for cell phones and charging treasure charging.
Fifth, parking safety issues, this is more trouble, generally most of the time is parked in the highway service area or more lively places in the paid parking lot, in other places really do not dare to stop. But parked in a safer place usually means more lively, environmental light, the impact of noise is relatively large, so in order to be able to sleep well, but also have to prepare eye masks, earplugs and so on.
Basically, with these things above, the bed truck travel is almost enough, of course, if you want to cook for yourself will be more trouble, but those are not essential for caravanning, so do not say.

In these years, self-driving tours have become more and more popular, and many people with cars drive their own cars and take their families out on self-driving trips.
For many self-driving travel enthusiasts, self-driving tour will also face some problems, such as tourism during the peak season of the hotel prices are too high problem, the journey of food and beverage are not accustomed to and the high cost of the problem of remote scenic spots difficult to stay in the problem, etc., to solve this kind of problem, the caravan is a good choice, but the caravan is faced with a low usage rate, high acquisition cost, high limit, after-sales maintenance is difficult to maintain, etc. In this case, the use of family car converted into a bed car to solve the above problems, turned into a lot of people's choice.
Which types of cars are suitable for use as a bed car?
MPV (including mini-vans)
This type of car is usually 6-7 seats mostly, the height of the interior space is moderate, the back two rows can be put down, some can be folded forward, some can not be placed in a number of storage boxes to fill in the gaps, laying boards as a bed, this way may not be very comfortable.
MPV most typical models include GL8, Odyssey, Ruifeng, etc. In addition, there are a lot of people will be Wuling Hongguang, Changan and other brands of mini-vans converted into a bed car in the way that the vehicle performance is reliable, through the strong, low cost of acquisition for the economic capacity of not too generous friends, is a choice that can be considered.
Business car
Similar to the Quan Shun, SAIC Datsun V80 such cars, there are many friends using this type of car converted into a bed car, with a B-type saloon car body, the internal space is large enough, the power is also enough, but the car body is on the large side, some people may not be too accustomed to driving too large a car.
SUV or off-road vehicle
SUV is my personal most respected models, but if you want to choose SUV as a bed car to meet the needs of self-driving travel, it is recommended to choose at least the body length of more than 4.75 meters of the model, in this way, to ensure that there is enough space to meet the demand for sleeping and storage in the back.
The vast majority of SUVs come with a roof rack from the factory, in which case you can add your own roof box or roof tent under the premise of meeting traffic regulations to meet the need for more storage and sleeping, and not have to worry about violations and penalties by the traffic police.
Medium and large SUVs, the trunk space is large enough, and the rear seats are enlarged to release a large space out, sleeping, placing luggage and supplies are very practical.
Off-road vehicles also have such characteristics, compared to the SUV, off-road vehicle drive system, power, body bearing mode, more suitable for a variety of different road conditions, just compared to the SUV, off-road vehicle ride comfort will be slightly worse, fuel consumption will be high.
Wagon
At present, we see that relatively few people buy wagons, but as more manufacturers launch the travel version of the sedan, the advantages of the wagon are becoming more and more accepted by more people. The wagon also has a lot of space, the seats are put down to be able to use as a bed car, similar to the SUV, but the height of the space inside the car will be slightly worse than the SUV, and at present, the better wagon are more expensive, such as the Audi A6 wagon, Mercedes-Benz station wagon, Maiden's wagon, and so on, there are not many options, and is not too much to recommend.

I am playing RV for several years, this problem I know better. First of all, depending on which place you go, if you go to cold and high altitude places, then bedding and cold clothing must be warm enough, followed by the preparation of living supplies, such as water reserve tools, gas stove, gas canisters, windshield, and is the kitchen items (seasonings, rice, noodles, oil, etc.) outdoor camping lights, military shovels, (camping in the wilderness when digging a temporary toilet, encountered a bad road surface, or self-defense can be used) The outdoor slippers, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and charging treasure, camera, etc.
