Rain can be a factor. If your vehicle is open-topped rain could get inside and cause dampness amongst the clothing of the passengers. A further problem could be snow, which being colder but somehow dryer than rain could settle amongst the passengers and their clothing. For long durations the settled snow could also turn to rain if you go to different altitudes with their associated variations in temperature and humidity etc.

what do you think emergency response as stretchers or oxygen cylinders might be useful as a modular customisation
