Go spend $2 on a bag of ice and then stick the ice in a bucket and put a fan on top of the bucket and that makes your own air conditioning unit because the fan will blow colder air drawn from the ice
I don’t understand why nobody in van life doesn’t buy a ac. You only need a 5000btu window unit. They cost like $150 a small generator is around the same.
Why suffer?
Hi there folks! The heatwave has passed now and we are doing great! No need to worry about our pup, I assure you that I do enough of that for all of us 🙂 It is very common for people in costal California to go without AC. Many homes and apartments do not have it and temperatures very rarely get this high. We were able to stay comfortable, but if we ever got to the point where we were worried for the safety of ourselves or our pup we have the privilege of being able to get a hotel for ourselves❤
I live in a Van in Texas this past summer was Hot There were multiple days of a 100゚ And above 2 days was a 109゚Inside the Van As you know the heat makes it miserable But summer is over now The days have been running in the Lower to upper 70s This is much better
Plus if y’all are parked inside a warehouse why haven’t you bought a $50 window AC unit from Facebook marketplace and plugged it into a wall outlet??? Y’all are making yourselves suffer needlessly
I dont understand people that have an option to live comfortably and choose this. Honestly I bet that van gets as hot as an oven with all the metal why spend even a second there without turning on the ac FFS
That poor doggy. Imagine wearing a fur coat in that weather. There are so many little portable air conditioners, why not get one?! He is stuck there – you’re there by choice, the dog isn’t. Goodness.
Also when it’s hot you should have an open air source in the front and back so that the fan pushes all of the hot air out and y’all have proper air flow traveling thru it which will keep it cooler in there.
i will never for the life of me understand people spending all of this money on van conversions and not add AC… like that feels like a very basic thing to have. especially if you are traveling with an animal…
I have personally wondered if it would work if someone in your situation ( living in a van) removed a piece of the roof of the van and put in a piece copper( because it is more conductive) in a dish shape. Then in the center of the copper dish in the roof put water in it. Then the water would evaporate and remove heat from inside of the van through the copper. Similar but not exactly like a swamper system.

Get an air conditioner! You can get a portable free standing one that you can plug into the wall. Get something because that is just crazy!
Doesn’t look like fun
Ya don’t have ac
That is so unfair for the poor dog. It is gross to have the dog sleep with you.
Idiotic and abusive to your dog to not have some kind of AC
Why have you not added an air conditioner?
Awwwww your dog is so cute 🥰

Uh no. People on the coast have AC, because every year there’s a heat wave. It’s called August.
There is no way I could survive in Cali, where I’m from, without AC during the summer because it is wayyy too hot for all that nonsense.

Gross
Not trying to be mean, but please don’t leave the dog without air. You choose to live that way, but that baby didn’t. Besides that I envy you!
Nope don’t like the heat

Yikes! Why make a video about a day that sucked?
What a miserable way of living
so you leave your dog locked in a van in the summer.
I just literally cannot imagine the smell inside. I feel like it would be pretty wild in the morning.
WTF NO AC HELL TO THE NAWL
‘Rare’ lol
Why are you’ll living in a van. Living in a vehicle is horrible in any weather. Been there. That is ridiculous.
Oh my looks like a nightmare!
What is considered a heatwave in So Cal?
Get an air conditioner
I just couldn’t
Just saw this November 9th and it is freezing lol

that poor dog
Also pro tip when it’s insanely hot get a bucket of water and put your feet in it and you will no longer be hot.
Try to park in the shade! Or, at least get a pop-up canopy large enough to cover the van!!
Looks f’ing miserable. Dont you have a unit in the roof or window?? Go to a RV park and plug in for a few nights. Poor dog
Plus if y’all are parked inside a warehouse why haven’t you bought a $50 window AC unit from Facebook marketplace and plugged it into a wall outlet??? Y’all are making yourselves suffer needlessly

Can I just say I adore how well you take care of Tonkins!!!
Cut the air on
Ummm no way! I have to sleep in cool Temps. °65 or lower. No way I can fall asleep being too hot

How can you guys live in the Hot Van with a big Dog?..Yuck!!!
And get a silk blanket and silk sheets to stay cooler. Also don’t wear socks or shoes as they make you hotter.
Hell no I couldn’t do it. It has to be like 65 when I’m sleeping
Also when it’s hot you should have an open air source in the front and back so that the fan pushes all of the hot air out and y’all have proper air flow traveling thru it which will keep it cooler in there.
I live in florida…we are in a CONSTANT heat wave 😂
How do you do laundry?

Also buy solar fans for the windows. That little fan isn’t going to do anything by itself
do you have those window mounted fans for nighttime? if you have one on each window the cross breeze would be wonderful next heat wave
hope your all okay and gets well soon
What kind of awning is that?
