When we stop for the night we open the hood of the van and leave it open for a few hours. We have discovered that this really helps to cool the interior of the van fast. If left closed all the heat from under the hood creeps into the interior. We don't have engine AC but we are pretty tough. Drive with all the windows open on hot days.
YEAH ! thats a GREAT idea about the hood ! I'll remember that.
And I too drive with the windows open ALL the time... even in the colder weather.
I love fresh air.... or maybe its because of the way I was raised as a kid.... we didn't have air conditioning in any of the family cars. lol
I just got used to having the windows open. all the way down on the driver side and part way down on the passenger side so things don't blow all over the place.
thanks so much for the good tip.
