It is also advisable to cool the inside but not to overdo it

The sun’s rays can come down with such an intensity that no one can escape unscathed. It is even more worrying when you are not in the comfort of your home. Unfortunately, this may happen when you are on a caravanning trip and cannot turn back since you are far gone. Rather than let the heat damp your spirit and that of those you are traveling with, find a suitable cooling strategy to help you keep the caravan comfortable. One of the first things to start with should be to check if the campsite you have an electric power supply to connect the AC to save your car’s energy. One other tip most people forget is to park the vehicle under a shade at all times. This minimizes the impact of the sun on the exterior and protects the inside since there is not much to be insulated against. In case the sun’s rays seem to be coming in from all angles, you also need to bring down the blinds to prevent any radiation from getting in through the windows. Make sure to clean the roof regularly since dirty roofs tend to get hotter than cleaner ones. It is also advisable to cool the inside but not to overdo it. You need to maintain a certain balance between the temperatures inside the van and outside to be safe. Remember to close all doors and windows when cooling the air inside, preventing condensation from happening on the air distributor. Failure to do this will lead to the accumulation of humidity to undesirable levels.
