Solo Van Life w/ Cats: Why I Don’t Have AC #shorts #solovanlife #vanlifewithpets #vanlifecat

After 2+ years on the road, here is what I recommend doing when you have pets and no AC. *Y’all know this, but I would NEVER put my cats in any danger. Their safety is my number one concern.*

• Have at least 2 forms of air circulation in your van! I have 2 Maxxair fans that blow in and out and 2 windows. When the fans are turned on, it creates an amazing wind tunnel.

• Have a pocket/partition door that separates the hottest part of the vehicle from the living space. You can also use an insulated & weighted curtain!
• FULLY INSULATE your van! My van is fully insulated and not like a regular vehicle.

• Invest in heavy duty window covers! I get mine from @vanmadegear and LOVE them! I travel for 85 degrees and below and spend most of my summer in the mountains.

• Get a hotel if there is a heat wave!

Other Notes:
• Make sure they have plenty of water!
• Put cold/wet towels on the ground for them to lay on.
• Have a camera to monitor them while you are running errands. I connect my @ring camera to my portable wifi jetpack from @verizon
• LEAVE YOUR CONTACT INFO ON YOUR DASH! Many don’t know your cats are totally fine and will try to help them.

The reason I chose to not have AC is because it takes too much power and I really don’t think I personally need it.

HOWEVER: If you have to stay somewhere that is HOT all summer and you have a place to plug your van in THEN I absolutely recommend getting AC!

LMK if you have any questions!

    Keeping cats cool?

  7. Adam on August 16, 2023 at 6:28 pm

    We have cats and they love the heat, summer is their most comfortable time, and we live in Australia. When the AC is on in the main part of the house at a lovely cool temp for us humans, they are in the laundry hanging out in the sun shine coming through the window. They do not enjoy winter unless they have a nice warm place or lap to curl up in.

  12. Michael Hernandez on August 16, 2023 at 6:32 pm

  16. April Dawn on August 16, 2023 at 6:35 pm

    No ac would be a deal breaker

  17. Filgus Meyers-white on August 16, 2023 at 6:35 pm

    I was like why did the cat look at her like that when she closed the door…. Oh

  18. SpindleCity on August 16, 2023 at 6:38 pm

    Maybe try leaving a note on your two front door windows so nobody tries breaking the window thinking the cats are in a hot van. People don’t know there’s airflow inside and in some states it’s legal to break windows if there is an animal left in a vehicle in the heat.

    My cat HATES AC

  20. Denise & Tim Argue on August 16, 2023 at 6:43 pm

  21. jay on August 16, 2023 at 6:44 pm

  22. Ella V on August 16, 2023 at 6:45 pm

    Stop getting cats or dogs in vans!!!

  23. Christina Menjivar on August 16, 2023 at 6:46 pm

    What kind of camera do you use? I’m looking for a camera when I leave my little dog in my van but I can’t find one that will work without wifi! Love you video, thank you✨

  24. Moon Moon on August 16, 2023 at 6:48 pm

    Cats body temp is 10 degrees lower than ours so they are cold most of the time but certainly can and will suffer from exssesice heat

  25. SpitefulAZ on August 16, 2023 at 6:49 pm

    Love that you van life with cats!

  26. Jak on August 16, 2023 at 6:50 pm

    I thought the video would explain why you don’t have air

  27. anlewi1 on August 16, 2023 at 6:53 pm

    I got a portable AC called icybreeze and I like it a lot and the dogs love it.

  28. Roma Montano on August 16, 2023 at 6:55 pm

    WOW, I would be scared to let my cats walk around, my mom and dad were traveling from LA to Canada my mom was holding him, something spooked him and he ran off never to be seen again💔😔🙏

  29. Ana on August 16, 2023 at 6:56 pm

    A pink note with fancy writing tells everyone you’re a girl coming back to that van. Use plain white paper and block letters. Be smart.

  30. Susan Oakley on August 16, 2023 at 6:58 pm

    Your video gives me hope that I will be able to VanLife with my two cats in the near future😊

  31. Afro Thunder on August 16, 2023 at 6:58 pm

  32. FM N on August 16, 2023 at 6:59 pm

  33. theusernameicoodfind on August 16, 2023 at 7:00 pm

    Ever had someone break your window for your cat?

  34. Kali-Yuga Peace Corp on August 16, 2023 at 7:00 pm

    Cats love the heat unless you have a Norwegian.

  35. teto85 on August 16, 2023 at 7:00 pm

    Cats are gonna do what they wanna do. That’s why they are called cats.

  36. CouldCareLess_ on August 16, 2023 at 7:03 pm

  37. chona castilla on August 16, 2023 at 7:04 pm

    The cats have better window views than me 😂..

  38. Denise Phillips on August 16, 2023 at 7:04 pm

    Surpisingly most cats don’t like cold areas. They prefer warm( not hot).

  39. The bluest Star on August 16, 2023 at 7:08 pm

  42. Linda Sentek on August 16, 2023 at 7:11 pm

    They are desert animal. Mine will lay on a heating pad in the middle of the summer

  43. Jesse Wright on August 16, 2023 at 7:11 pm

    Cats love the heat. Right now, it’s 95 outside and my black cat is taking a nap in the sun on our porch.

  44. Misty Cunningham on August 16, 2023 at 7:15 pm

  45. Abraham Banuelos on August 16, 2023 at 7:15 pm
