You can use it for a home if you take the seats out of the front, leaving the last one in back for a couch. To power the dome lamp, use a solar panel mounted to the hood and connected to the main battery. Remove the tires from the rims and sell them, keeping the rims to use for bases to plant your awning poles, or keep one for a fire ring. Remove the motor and use that space for storage.
When your children get about 5 year old, get the new ford explorer and strip it in similar fashion and park it at a 90 degree angle to give them their own space.
Hope this helps.
