36: Beating the Heat: Tips and Gadgets for Staying Cool in Your Campervan This Summer
Manage episode 364224416 series 2990349
Struggling with sweltering summer temperatures in your van? We've been there, and we're here to share our experiences and strategies for staying cool while living the nomadic life. Last summer in Oregon, we tried the Zero Breeze air conditioning unit, but it didn't quite hit the mark. So, we explored other options like rooftop air conditioners, but had to pass due to weight and space constraints.
Thankfully, we discovered the game-changing Eva Polar Portable Swamp Cooler! This small, personal unit saved us in the scorching heat last summer, and now, it's keeping us comfortable on our sailboat in the Sea of Cortez. We also discuss tactics like relocating to higher elevations, seeking shade, and finding air-conditioned escapes, all to help you beat the heat and stay cool in any nomadic living situation. Join us for this refreshing conversation on the Wayward Home Podcast!
