Extreme heat is one of the hardest parts of living in a vehicle, especially when the heat does not let up at night.

In this episode, I share what it was like living in my Kia Sorento during a stretch of extreme heat and humidity while work camping in western New York. I talk about the tools and habits that helped me cope, including shade, Aluminet, fans, water, wet towels, ventilation, and paying attention to when the heat was becoming more than just uncomfortable.

This episode is not about pretending vehicle life is easy. It is about being realistic, planning ahead, and knowing when fans and shade are not enough. I also talk about the importance of having a cooling plan, watching overnight temperatures, staying hydrated, protecting medications from heat, and finding places where you can safely cool down before you are in trouble.
