Van Life: How to Stay Cool in the Summer

Ойын-сауық

Getting the temperature right in the van can be one of the biggest challenges to van life.
Here are 15 ways I’ve found to stay cool.
1. 0:15 Park in the shade
2. 0:28 Window Tint
3. 0:50 Maxx Air Fan
4. 1:36 OPolar USB Clip on Fan
5. 1:52 Keep the Windows Open
6: 1:57 Insulated Window Coverings
7. 2:15 Cooling Blanket
8. 2:35 Wet Sarong
9. 3:30 Cool Neck Wrap
10. 3:46 Cook Outside
11. 4:11 Black Out Curtains
12. 4:22 Rooftop RV Air Conditioner
13. 5:11 Travel to Cooler Temperatures
14. 5:28 Sleep with less clothes on/Naked
15. Multiple layers of window coverings

    Hey, Bev...I'd name your cactus "Echo". :^) BTW...something got screwed up with my channel membership. My bad -- I'll try to fix it by going the Patreon route. Staying wet is the key to staying cool through the Key West summers. Wet your hair before going to bed and lay a towel on your pillow. Just sane... :^) Saint

    Now that's a funny toy! 🤣 Some of the old Land Rovers that I've owned (and one I still own) had a pretty neat option, a "Tropical top". This is basically a heat shield that's mounted across the entire roof of the truck, and it's spaced about an inch above the actual roof. There's 4 air vents underneath it that you can open, to send cool air into the cabin, and the air that flows underneath the tropical top tends to be 10-15 degrees cooler. Of course, it's much more effective when the vehicle is moving...

I would like to add that having a sponge bath or a swim brings your body temperature down immensely. It’s the same principal as wetting your sarong. Also wetting your head before bed, and putting up hair really helps. Love you, Bev. Thank you for the video.

Basically a swamp cooler, know... don't laugh but, it actually works really well as long as there's not much humidity. The little filter is freezable and makes cold air! Low battery use thru the USB connection too. You can always run it without water too if you need just to move air. Sorry for taking too much space to explain but hope it helps. Can't wait to see what's next.

    That cactus is great! I started laughing out loud while watching you interact with it and the people around me thought I was crazy! (Oops!). Looking forward to the eventual Bunny Hat-Talking Cactus video! (I’m coming late to seeing this video so I’m guessing you’ve picked a name by now.)

    Hey Bev, name the cactus "Prickley", seems obvious to me. We added a 12000 btu mini-spit to our shuttle bus. Amazed at how quiet it is. Can run it on the inverter and batteries, don't know how long yet, trip to JAX FL next month will be the acid test! (Can heat with it too!)

    Hey Bev, I like the cactus, it has your laugh and it laughs as much as you do. Try having the cactus on while you are using GPS. I just went on holiday to London and Paris. I went to London to see if I would like to retire there and I would. On the drive home from London, the Ontario Provincial Police had the 401 highway closed so I had to detour through Paris. Paris is a nice little town well off the beaten path. Ontario seems to have a tradition of naming towns after other towns in the world to confuse people. I now see why people rave about London and Paris. Steve

    I'm still gravitating toward the use of a hammock in the van as it provides air to encircle you and keep you cool. Of course, in your van the bed is built in and you wouldn't be able to safely get a hammock to work for you. I especially liked the idea you had in 5:34, but not everyone could do that either.

    Hey Bev; nice to check out your vlogs again, it's been a while for me. Before last eve. & today, the last I had checked out was about the vintage tour bus (cool!). I just haven't had much time at all for any vlogs, the last couple mos. as I was working on finally getting myself on the road with my van (long overdue!) and departing in time to catch a specific concert @ Red Rocks (CO) in early June. Completed or not... I left, just in time to make the show. Still out west, touring the USA (& hopefully a little bit of Canada, too). You're one of my very favorite vloggers; for sure! Love your laugh & sense of humor (and you're so genuine!). By the way, my vote is for "Echo." Also, some suggestions for the bus video collection, from back in the day: "Easy Rider," Every Which Way But loose," "Goin' South," "The Sting," "Live & Let Die," "Westworld," "McCabe & Mrs. Miller," "Young Frankenstein," "Monte Python & the Holy Grail," The Poseidon Adventure," "Silent Running," "Adventures of the Wilderness Family," "Hard Times," "The Longest Yard," "Breakheart Pass," "Planet of the Apes," "Thunderbolt & Lightfoot," & "Pink Floyd: Live at Pompei." Sorry for the length... Tim

    Hey Bev.. love your new toy 😂 I have tried the wet scarf but find that it dries out too quick. You can use a spray bottle of water to spritz it and get it wet again and for face but I found a damp beach towel works best as it stays wet longer. I cover myself with it as it cools your entire body down plus keeps mosquitos from attacking you. Take care of you and keep living life to the fullest ♥️♥️♥️🙏
