Don't think you need a generator?

OR, you could just suck it up and do what you did 40 years ago. Remember when all you needed was an open window or 2 and maybe a fan?

I remember sleeping out in the yard in an army surplus jungle hammock because it was too hot in our house. It was fun and I always enjoyed it. When we got a house with a basement the whole family slept down there, but sleeping outside was the most fun. I live in my RV and don’t consider it camping. In May and June I did take a 12,300 mile camping trip in my Dodge Caravan from southeast Arizona to Alaska and back. However, even on that trip I found it more convenient to sleep in the back of my Caravan. I did cook about 95% of my own meals, usually canned food modified with spices. Years ago, doing similar camping with my kids, my mantra for meals was if we couldn’t prepare it, eat it, and clean it up in 45 minutes or less we were doing something wrong (not that I was timing it or anything). After all the thing was camping was for hiking, swimming, tubing, having fun… not food prep!

However, I have to go along some with noplace2, we have become a society of weather wimps and have become overly dependent on our modern day comforts. That said, as long as my AC works, I’m using it!

BTW modern cars are designed so that there’s no airflow like the older cars had before the prevalence of AC. It used to be on a hot day you could flip the no-drafts (remember them?) forward, open up the air vents and at 60mph the car would turn into a wind tunnel.
