Appliances

Nomad Life Wiki

Appliances for nomadic living aren't quite as common (or as large) as those found in sticks and bricks residences, but most nomads have at least one or two for cooking and refrigeration.

Dishwashers
Yes, some people do put dishwashers in their vehicles! Minimal water usage can be beneficial to nomads.
Microwaves
In more luxurious builds with sufficient power, a microwave is a really convenient cooking appliance
Ovens
Usually only found in larger vehicles, ovens add extra flexibility for meals. They are typically propane powered.
Parking heaters
The diesel heater is the most common type, and portable propane heaters are close second. These sip fuel while making your vehicle toasty in cold weather.
Pressure cookers
Available under the popular brand Instant Pot and many others, an electric pressure cooker can be a great tool in your nomadic cooking arsenal.
Refrigerators
Keeping food cold is almost a necessity for nomadic living, and many people view refrigerators as an essential part of their kitchen.
Slow cookers
By using less power over a longer period of time, you can cook with electricity while driving or with smaller electrical systems.
Rice cookers
These are surprisingly versatile and take up a small amount of space. Perfect for life on the road!
Stoves
Most nomads have some sort of stove for cooking. This may be a simple camping stove, or a built-in unit with multiple burners.
Toaster ovens
A convenient and compact way to cook a variety of foods, if you have enough electrical capacity.
Toasters
Despite their small size, toasters aren't very common in van life setups, since they are only used for one thing.
Washing machines
A rare sight in nomadic vehicles, washing machines are typically only found in large vehicles with enough onboard water storage.
Wood stoves
Keeping warm is easy with a wood stove! These have significant disadvantages like fire risk and they take up a lot of valuable space.
