80° is pretty mild weather. Good luck on your trip.

When I used to live in my car, I bought a portable misting fan on Amazon for about $60 (it's about $50 now). That was a lifesaver. I was sleeping in the car during summer when it was anywhere from 90 to 100 degrees outside at night, and that misting fan on high speed an intermittent mist was able to keep me cool while I slept and it was USB charger and battery operated. I also used it in the daytime while I was driving when it was even hotter because my AC compressor broke and was like $1, 000 to replace. That damn fan saved my life that summer. Best purchase ever.

Back in summer 2016 I was homeless and sleeping in my 97 Camry with my dog Mochi. I got a membership at pf so I have a place to clean myself. Then I end up getting my car towed because I couldn’t pay the registration. End up moving at my friends house where I would regularly park few houses down because that was the only safe place I knew at the time. Then I started working at the same planet fitness. And eventually got back on my own feet. I’m in a much better situation now. Tough times don’t last only thought people do.

If 80 is hot then you better skip about half the country.

If you're stuck sleeping in HOT weather, strip down the cover yourself with a wetted down towel with your fan(s) pointed at you. As a trucker I've had to do this on occasion when my a/c has died and the temps are 100° and up. Also, poured water on my dog to help her stay cooler.

Shout out to Cracker Barrel for being so accommodating to folks sleeping in their parking lots, I've done it myself. You should at least buy a cup of coffee in the AM, their cheapest breakfast sandwich is 6 bucks.

I lived in my car for over a year. How to beat the heat is get out of the city and away from the blacktop and go to the country and park in woods by a lake. During the day u will see a 30 to 40 degree differ3nce and at night 20 to 30. Also I bought black mesh window covers. This is so u can keep windows down get fresh air. Nobody can see in and if keeps mosquitoes out

I car camped in Texas summer. Use a bag of ice to sleep with. It works!

You need a Turkish towel for traveling. They fold up really small…. Dry out fast…. Can be used as a thin cover/ blanket…. Safe travels, bud!

Depending on what car you have, a Check Engine light is either an issue or a minor inconvenience.
2000-2013 GM cars tend to be a mix, larger vehicles get them less often and for more important reasons. Japanese brands tend to have a good reason for that, and German brands with check engine lights on is just the experience of owning a german car.

*laughs in Texan* We would KILL for 80° weather right now. It was 108° here yesterday.

Air for your A.C. is pulled through under your glove box may help to move that stuff out of the way so it will work properly.

Cracker Barrel needs more good customers like you. Maybe next time you'll buy something..

[tiffanyholman]

Its 120° in Arizona most of the summer. We would be cold in 80°. 😂

Love the content and the journey man! Definitely seek out an OBD scanner for your car to read those error codes. Any auto parts store should also get you a reading as well.

Keep on keepin’ on, brother. Shower love spread love!!

If it's that hot when you're trying to sleep simply turn your car on with the air conditioner on let it idle if not you can let it idle all night it won't hurt your car better to use an extra gallon of gas then swell in that heat
