    I just found a " Cooling Throw " blanket that pulls heat off the body, it feels like it came out of the refrigerator, all for under $20.

    Y'all are the only van people I've heard mention ceramic tint and it baffles me that it's not more commonly discussed. It's a MUST for me here in Texas.

    Your next van you can install a webasto electric rag top, For AC carry an Arctic Air Portable Air Conditioner (52 qt. - dual fan - 12 volt) they make smaller units also. It uses a ice cooler and a radiator so you get cold air without the humidity as a traditional swamp cooler, that will keep you cool

    Try intermittent fasting during the hot summer months. My experience shows that fasting keeps my body cold which makes extreme heat a lot more bearable.

    I don't usually watch larger than build vid., but it was intrigued to hear how you stayed cool in a van. I did pick up on 3 or 4 tips. And you're so right about if they think they're going to sit like make it home and stay indoors all the time. They won't in 98-105 heat. Of course humidity accounts for a lot of discomfort. One almost has to have AC.

    Cool video. I live in my 2021 VW Tiguan. It gets hot in the summer in St. Petersburg, FL, USA.

    When I did Expediting in a cargo van I would just run the engine 24/7

    The temperatures in Vancouver have even made to to a major news story placement over in the UK. I hope things haven't got as crazy as Vancouver has been, being in the mountains, but still, pleased to know you're keeping safe!

    Massive strategy. Especially after a super hard time so many have gone through with the heat.

    You could put the 2nd max fan on the kitchen wall 😇

    Use a water spray bottle and mist yourself frequently.

    One of my biggest concerns is not having ac level cooling in the summer.

      Yeah it’s a rough go... but where we are the extreme heat doesn’t come around often

    Zero breeze. Expensive but I think more vans still have and lower that cost. 1000 with out barriers. 200 watt at max buti don't think you need that 24/7

    Pretty sure your van and heater pollute just as much as a generator 😂
