Arslan's self-designed "fully operating kitchen" stands out as one of the key features in his car home.

It features a mini-fridge, a sink connected to a three-gallon water tank that requires regular refilling, and a single-burner propane stove.

The other side of the car is dedicated to Arslan's sleeping quarters, boasting a simple yet comfortable three-inch thick, two-by-six-foot mattress.
