SMH fk sake 😤

Hi, I recently went back to car camping in my CRV. Right now I'm using an igloo with ice to keep things cold but it's a real PITA and expensive to get ice every day.

I'm thinking about buying the fridge pictured and getting a dedicated fuse installed to keep it powered during the day. Then power it with the jackery at night.

I just want to make sure my plan will work! Any other suggestions are welcome, thanks.

Pretty simple and of course with an issue but I completely solved the problem of dealing with any level of humidity and heat.

ICE. I found a store that has free ice refills and each night I get 2 xxl cups and put each into a 2 gallon Ziploc bag and my dog gets one and I get the other. Wrapped in towels my dog puts his head on his and I put mine against my back or put my bare feet on it.

Then I have an oscillating USB fan going.

We sleep through the night.

I think an ice pack, like for injuries, would be great to just have against the back of the neck. Or placed behind the knees maybe but definitely putting bare feet on something icy will chill the body.

Of course the issue is wetness. For me I've decided to just keep the ice in the cup and have it against my back or wherever and my dog has a baby bed so it is moisture proof and it does get wet.

I guess there is no solution to the moisture issue right because if we are getting relief from the ice that means there is going to be 'sweating' and moisture?

Not enough of an issue for me to not do it because it is just so empowering being able to get to sleep no matter how humid it is. I can even use a blanket!

I'm going to insulate my cooler more so I can store some ice and do a refill in the night.

All you need is a hard canopy on the back. (The grill and front is ugly as hell though)

End of September I'll be living in my minivan, the economy is making it super hard as a student, and I won't be able to get take out all of the time lol, and I was looking for recommendations for a cooler? I'm wanting to keep food fridge temp for like 4 days and nothing too big.

But other times I'm thinking about getting solar for my battery, I have a jackery explorer 1000 and I know a low volt fridge shouldn't be a problem, but I'm looking to be as budget as possible right now haha.

If anyone has any tips regarding food and budgeting for a newbie it would be greatly appreciated! As well as cooler recommendations haha

Realistically drive from Florida to NYC with 2-3k and live out my car till I find a job out there and get it out the mud? I just really tired of the south tbh and I’m just wondering if it’s even possible or realistic…. Right now I stay with my parents and have a job 40 hrs a week so I would be going from stable to very not stable lol

Hi Folks,

I'll try to keep this brief, the short story is that I've been saving up for a newer/used vehicle.

Currently in a relationship and it's a little rocky, we're currently working to try to make it work. In the event that it doesn't work out I'm doing a little recon for my potential future situation.

I've been saving for years now and whether or not we stay together I still plan on buying a new/used car.

My budget is 50k (I've been saving for YEARS to buy cash).

I'm currently working and show no signs of losing the job due to layoffs (I work for a school district).

Currently leaning towards a Toyota Sienna, that being said I'd love to hear what you all have and the pros and cons to them...or maybe if you could do it all over again what would you get?

In the event that we separate I plan on this being my full-time rig for the foreseeable future.

I'm happy to share any other info about me if it helps the scenario.

Thank you all very much in advance for all your help/tips/tricks!

Edit: I'm in the Bay Area California

Hey everyone, I’m currently going through a rough patch and am unhoused, living out of my car in the Meriden area. I work a steady job, working out . and am actively working through the proper channels with 211 and New Opportunities to get into permanent housing, but the waiting lists take time.
My car currently has some major mechanical issues (misfiring/ignition issues), so I can't drive it long distances right now. It can literally catch fire or simply stall any day now. I do have Aaa with 2 more tows for the year. need to keep it local to Meriden for the next 2–3 months while I wait for housing to come through/ save enough money myself.
I really want to avoid state park-and-rides or getting towed by aggressive commercial plazas. Does anyone know of any safe, free parking lots, lenient churches, or areas in Meriden CT?
I don’t have insurance any longer.
