Tips for your van in summer
1️⃣ Choosing a shady spot: When stopping, try to park your van in the shade to minimize exposure to direct sunlight.
2️⃣ Ventilate as much as possible: Keep windows and doors open to create draughts, promoting better ventilation inside the van.
3️⃣ Use lightweight sheets made from natural materials: Opt for cotton or linen sheets, which are breathable and help regulate body temperature.
4️⃣ Sleeping with a bottle of water: Keep a bottle of water close at hand to hydrate easily if you feel thirsty during the night.
5️⃣ Invest in a portable fan: A small portable fan can be a real lifesaver on hot nights, providing a cooling breeze.
These simple but effective tips will help make your summer nights in the van more comfortable and enjoyable.
