Keeping cool while boondocking
We leave for a 2 week trip on Friday. Our first night we are boondocking in a Cabela's parking lot. The problem is that it's going to be warm...and there are 13 of us in a TT. I keep thinking that ...

Gosh, thanks for judging my priorities but I actually never said why we were boondocking. It's an assumption that we are doing it to save $.
So what is the purpose of punishing the wife and kids?
PS: I'm the youngest of 10 and we covered a lot of ground in an even smaller camper as a kid, so no objections to your lifestyle.
I'm the wife. I'm not being punished...neither are the kids. Avoiding a campground is just quicker. It's a short overnight stay on the first night of a 16 day trip. We leave after my husband gets off of work so we only get about 6 hours in the first evening. Boondocking is quicker because most campgrounds are further off of the main route. We've done it plenty of times before. It works well for us.
Since you mention this is the first night of the trip, then just get the small fans and go with it. Make sure the kids get well rested the night before. They'll be eager and excited about the trip so a less than perfect night will fade quickly (different if it were in the middle or end of a trip and the kids are cranky and tired and been running on high for a while).
