LIVING IN MY CAR: Stay Cool in Your Car During Summer

There's no way to avoid the heat during the summer or any heat wave, but find out what I've learned to be the most effective in staying cool while sleeping in your car.

I lived in my car for 2 years. What I did was I found a mechanic shop and made an agreement with the owner to sleep outside the shop in the parking lot and ward off trespassers at night and the tow guys would give me the keys for car drop offs. What I got in return was the ability to plug in my box fan at night with an extension cord to the shop. I stayed cool that way. I was also able to shower at night behind the shop with a watering hose. In the winter time when I would shower outside I would wash as fast as possible while leaving the heat running in my car for me to jump back into. Wash real fast. Dry off fast and hop in a nice dry warm car. I did attempt to camp in the woods behind the shop but after the first night realised it was dangerous due to the area. Best of luck to you all! Update for those wondering. I was only living in a 2 door Pontiac sunfire and made it work. So can you!

Hindsight is 20/20, but you could have gotten one of those little stand-up air conditioning units that looks a little like R2 D2. Fix the vent to where it goes out your car window and it has more than enough power to keep you icy cold. It only takes a 110 plug, too.

Thank you for the honesty. One guy in his video stated it was easier to stay cool than warm in a vehicle. Clearly he was not actually native to central FL in July and August!

[@lorduvaltv274]

Yeah it's cheaper to stay cool but harder in hot climate. It's more expensive to stay warm but easier than staying cool. It's just the laws of thermodynamics energy moves from the high state to a low state. So basically if you're cooler than your environment heat travels into you. If you're hotter than your environment heat travels out of you. It's easier to stop heat from traveling out of you and more expensive to heat up your environment. It's hard to stop heat from traveling into but cheaper to cool your environment. Your environment being your car in this case including the environment outside your car which why it's expensive to heat up because that heat is leaving your small environment into an extremely huge environment(outside).

[@serenityjewel]

For people watching this, 1. unless you're in the desert, anything that adds water to the inside of your car is going to cause mold. 2. Let your windows down. Your car is a metal box. It's going to always be hotter inside your car. 3. It doesn't hurt your battery at all to run your car at night. The only thing you're going to do is burn gas, my car burned about 2 or 3 gallons, and it was worth it since living in a car during the summer CAN KILL YOU. Heatstroke is a real possibility, especially in the south, so do what you need to do to stay alive. If those fans work, awesome. Use them. If they don't, run your car's AC. Dude is young. His body is hella efficient. Not drinking water and only running those fans could kill an older person.

[@ZumbYNSR]

I live in Florida, Miami. Yes, It runs very hot. Best answer is to find a library to dray during the day and only go to the car at night when the sun is not hitting. Because it is a nightmare

You can die from carrbon monoxide poisoning running your vehicle all night. Unless it's a hybrid. Be careful.

[@sitdownbehumble8675]

What I do when it's so hot that I can't sleep, I run a body towel in super cold water (I'd use the gym shower to do this), ring it out, and use that as a "blanket". The heat will flow from your body into the towel on your skin. Obviously you might want to keep some kind of waterproof cover on your bed area so it doesn't get moldy, gross, etc. You might shiver a bit at first but it's SO relieving and effective. Usually lasts most of the night too. Don't even need a fan because that will just dry it out quicker which you don't want. Plus it's free and easy to do.

[@olddominionoutfitters1272]

“Iff there’s one more night like this, I’m moving to Canada”

Another thing you could do if you have the space is get one of those Styrofoam coolers and cut out some holes on one side, then cut out a bigger hole on the other side; get a fan and fit it into the bigger hole and then get some ice and put it in the cooler and turn the fan on; blows out cool air for the night if its very hot. Then dump the water the next day... or drink it.

Lol some of the swamp coolers are basically the same, but a stupid amount more expensive.

[@TC-yx1qt]

That's what he was talking about in the video.. they do NOT work in higher humidity areas..

[@BetterOff735]

The only down side to that (cause I've done it) is that it blows out not only cool air from the ice, but Moisture from the ice as well..slot of moisture, plus, it melts the ice in real rapid time.

Does having the reflective stuff in your windows aimed at the inside cause your body heat to reflect back at you? Would plain black foam work better? BTW, love your content. Not many ppl have vids about staying cool in humid situations. Also IF trying to be stealth, limo tint as much as you can, install rain visors to crack windows in rain, and no see um net only on the inside of the car held in place with magnets.

[@6kbps]

dont use black foam, use white ones since darker colours absorb heat

[@krisrodrigues1]

Thats good advice... I'll stay away from the evaporative water cooler as I live in a humid area. That one is pretty expensive too, although I know you can get much cheaper (less efficient) ones. I was contemplating getting a compressor portable AC (the type used for camping, tents etc, not the ones for home use). Expensive too, and it requires exhaust ventilation through a hose. But that should not cause moisture inside, no more than your car AC would. And it may not be too hard to rig up a window vent. But if you are in your car or SUV, as opposed to a van, space may be an issue as the compressor AC is a good size. A new trend is DYI window ventilation kits and there are some you can buy. Yup a fan is probably the best way to go and I like that you got a nice big one as that is what it will take during extremely hot times. I recommend having a container of ice and ice water that you can periodically wet a small towel or sponge with and dab yourself with the ice water while the fan is on you. You will get so cold fast. Yeah, its temporary (so you got to repeat it) but will bring your temperature down and cool you preventing possible heat sickness. The cool feeling can last a surprising amount of time though if you keep a fan directly on you. And you can wet your shirt a little and let that dry off on you.

[@jayzillawashere]

Makes sense to me. Most places are going to be too humid for evaporative cooling to be effective/comfortable. I would want super silent fans though because the noise inside the vehicle would draw attention at night. The ceiling netting has me thinking though 👍

Do you know if i can let them charge under my front window shield. I will be forced to move into a very small car a bit smaller than the toyota corolla hatchback. I am trying to save on space as my most needed items is my bed, I bought a high density foam sofa pad.Gonna sleep on it tonight for the first time, I need a toilet, may have to pull the passenger front seat for my 3 gallon pail, and fans, so i really dont want the extra space taken by a generator..solar.

what i do is keep a big bottle near me so when i have to go i go then empty it out. and i drink a slushy or ice heavy drink and it keeps me cool making my body act like a self cooler

[@walshsun3289]

Can you please share where do you sleep at night living in your car?

[@MinimalistMikee]

Definitely! I'll cover it in a video about my night routine!

[@aviewisaview]

[@ajfeinman]

There is a better way. Get a Toyota Prius instead and take full advantage of climate control. Been living in my Prius for five years and I sleep like a baby every single night, no matter what the climate is outside

[@MinimalistMikee]

That's awesome! Yeah, I've definitely gotten a ton of feedback promoting Toyota Prius. But not everyone starts out with a Prius when they decide to live in their car :P

[@almasantiago1100]

If anybody can afford to buy a vehicle outright just like that. They would have no reason to watch these videos! 🤦

[@SKBottom]

@@almasantiago1100 it depends on their motivations for doing this. Not everyone does it because they're desperate and broke.

[@catrashoo]

@@almasantiago1100 I've read of people sleeping in their Tesla.

[@designthinkingwithgian]

how does that work? like is it just the batter running or uses gas too

Late comment, but your fans are actually working off DC. The power adaptors covert ac to DC. You could go get 12v affairs that work with those fans. Less energy conversion loss.
