The #8 Go Inside is the most important one. I car can reach 140' F degrees when in the sun. During the day spend time in a library, coffee shop or a mall food court. Or even work a part time job. =)

Exactly! I’m usually at work during the day when it’s the hottest. I drive delivery vans though and they spend most of the day turned off so I guess it doesn’t help too much in my case.

Park on grass or dirt. Black tar on streets gets hot, and doesn't cool off as fast as grass or dirt.

Definitely good advice!

You and everyone else that does the nomadic life without a/c are all much stronger than me. Still, even I enjoy my days in the shade in my bus without any a/c running just enjoying the breeze as much as I can. With a small efficient car like yours, though, if it came down to it, you could always just start her up for a little while and cool off. I bet that helps if and when needed.

I guess I’ve just gotten used to the weather. Anything feels cooler than the delivery vans at work too. Windows open with a breeze is really the best! I do sometimes start it up at around sunset to cool things off at night. That really does help.

@@ColinAdventures You could not have stated that better, and it rings true for me as well, the "getting used to it" part. I was born and raised in Texas and lived in every part of this hot state before becoming a digital nomad, and I never got used to it until I found myself living more "out" of the bus compared to always being under a/c in buildings when I lived the 9 to 5 rat race. I used to keep the thermostat around 65, but now 75 is far more comfortable. Any weather under 90 degrees and you'll find me with the windows open. There's always at least 1 a/c on because I use them to draw the moisture out of the air and I filter it for all my water needs, but yeah, even for a guy like me that thought I was so sensitive to heat, the nomadic life will get you used to hotter (and colder) weather.

Using a long stretch of Reflectix with 3 pool noodles strapped underneath it to top of roof back to end back windshield I also secure to front outside mirrors, and inside door overhead handholds. Drops the temperature at least 10 degrees if not 15 degrees.
