Years of traveling brought me many different insights, philosophies and countries I needed to be (over 90 in total). I lived in Pakistan, went over 15 times to India and when I stopped cycling the world, that was after 50.000 kilometer through 45 countries, I met Geo. Together we now try to be more self-sustainable, grow our own food and live off-grid. I now juggle with the logistics of being an old-fashioned housewife, cook and creative artist loving the outdoors. The pouches I create are for sale on www.cindyneedleart.com

For summer maybe it would be good to have an opening high up like a sunroof. Hot air rises and in rushes cool air from below. If it is made of glass it can also be a discreet window letting in natural light like a window but no on can see in. A good thing when stopped on a city or a town street. It’s good to look like a plain truck in populated areas….

Hi again,

We talked all sorts of openings, windows and roofs through but decided to keep it almost as lowkey as possible.

Glass roof? I don’t know about these technical details but to me it seems glass is breakable in a truck. When I stay in and Geo moves the truck, there’s a lot of shaking going on!!

We actually went for full insulation (if I say this correctly?) So that in winter no wind would come in, no cold seeping through.

Hard plastic window panes were in our talks, but we decided not to. It’s also expensive and I argued that when we want to SEE the outside, we GO outside. Besides, we have that huge front window 😊👌

Also glass though 🤔 that is very stable in fact.

Have a good day and thanks for your input and thoughts.

Greetings Cindy and Geo

You can get large sunroofs from wrecked SUV’s. The glass is very tough. Meant to take vibration, water and life in a vehicle. The cheaper ones are manual and just pop up at one end a few cm’s and make a good discreet vent to let out hot air in summer. I didn’t realise your back compartment is open to the cab in which case you do have daylight in the back even when locked up.

Do you know that we actually did not know about such roofs. We learned it only now, now we are in serious money spending society 😂. Its new to us, such roofs. We learned much more about cars in general and how they can steer automatically!! Crazy!! Hahaha….

Yes, our whole back is made from glass. A huge light source and view.

And, thank you so much for the pee separator idea. Awesome! I’m slowly working out how I want to do things when I finally get a shack and that is one of them! Ps love all those beautiful shots, especially ones of you both in your truck home.

Hi there again, nice to read you again 😊 I thought the pee separator was a great idea. And that it could help someone else too! Good to hear it does so 😊👌 it takes practice for a lady though, but it does not take much effort to get used to it.

Thanks for your kind words 😊
In general, we loved it in there, that makes good shots of us together easy.

Have a good day.
Cindy and Geo
