These are like the old time swamp coolers used in the south. I truly struggle with the heat.

I am 71 yrs this year,, your smile always brings a smile to me,, always enjoy the videos .. Have a great day ....................
I rented a room in Las Vegas during the heat wave, it was115 degrees outside(I dont know what is was inside)and the man refused to turn on the air. He was a friend of a friend and I had nowhere else to go and my kitty. I used artic air, wet down sheets to put over us, and kind of wet kitty with the sheet.. It was that hot for a couple of months straight, God was with us and we did not get sick. It was HORRIBLE though. God Bless you Lindy, I hope your new air keeps you cool.
This issue really resonates with me... about why so many nomads go to higher, mountainous elevations. Minivan Lee also talks about finding places like parks etc...where there is a shady place to park while still able to recharge folding solar panels she's able to put out adjacent to her vehicle. Stay cool & safe! LUCRETIA 🎉
Luv the kool scarves for keeping cool
There is an excellent book I borrowed from the local library called "The Heat Will Kill You First." It's true. I'm so glad you have a thermometer in your vehicle and monitor the temp. People get sick and delirious and then can't help themselves. We're so aware here in Texas of the heat and its lethality.
When you "tugged" at your ear, it made me think of Carol Burnett.
Thank you for viewing.
Hi Lindy 🙂
My mom had sensitivity to heat too and I'd get her a pan of ice water for her feet and it cooled her off pretty quickly. I'd put a cold rag on the back of her neck too.
~ Lorraine
The first 5 years I lived in my house, we had no ac. We just used fans. No heat also but we had plug in small heaters. Then one day we bought a window ac. Best thing ever. LOL! Our house was built in 1900...all original, so it did not have any heat or air. Still no heat, but the plug in works good.
Stay healthy. ☺
A sense of humor keeps us young, never loose that ❤
To keep the neck and feet cool is the best. One summer I used one of my dogs bedcooler...lol .. Take care of you...and your little dog 😘
Since menopause I run extremely hot and need to be in below 70 degree temperatures in order to function. My husband has an autoimmune disorder and has to be in 80 degree plus temperatures to function. What a pair we are 🤪
You are intriguing and I am pleased your channel popped up in my feed...who knew. New subscriber here💜
Love you sweet mom have a nice time always with you you are so great and brave mom live you long time with the better health and wealth take care stay safe happy and blessed good luck
I bought flexible fabric-covered cold packs to use when I'm in need. They last 2-3 hours and they don't get messy like melting ice. 👍
I have always lived in one small room in my house during the hot summer. It's easier and cheaper to cool. I keep my fridge in here too, but I cook in the kitchen so no heat in my living area. There's a lot you can do to save in a house if you are lucky enough to have one. God bless you all!
Thank you Lindy for all the great advice! God bless you 🌈💜
Thank you for sharing. I'm definitely gonna need to look into this when i have a bit more solar. :)
Thanks for sharing your tips for staying cool Lindy! You are always improving the van life experience and many people can benefit from your trials and experiments, I hope you have an awesome week Lindy! 🥰
Hello sweetheart, just a suggestion but Dogs don’t regulate their body temperature via their fur. Unlike humans, dogs cannot sweat through their skin. They rely on panting and releasing heat through their paw pads and nose to regulate their body temperature. If they cannot cool down, they will quickly develop heatstroke. So a tip is to have a cool pad and spray Marley’s foot pads or have a large bowl of water Marley can step into. People think dogs are silly when they paddle in their drinking water but they are smart and just cooling themselves down. 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you
Hi Lindy, ice cubes in your bra and underwear? Love that idea! Thanks for the tip. I'll do that at Burning Man this year. That was so nice for the store employees gifting your ice. I'm glad you are prepared for this year.
I just turned 76 and decided to become a vanlifer! Have only just made the decision and purchased an Ecoflo bundle for under a thousand dollars. Now I can't chicken out!
Ecoflow is a good product. What size. . With 2000w you can run an air fryer microwave wave etc. All small. Good luck.
#1 Reflect the best way to keep cool.Dark paint is 20°hotter. There are ways that you can find shade that most people would not think of what is one way is to park on the west side of the building play some in the morning and when you move you might only have to go to the east side of the building. If your car is a dark-colored car you want to get a tarp that has reflective material on it you want to cover your vehicle as much as possible creating as much shade as possible by not pulling into a already heated parking spot. That heated ground will heat your vehicle.
Excellent pointers!
I do that all day long. But solar on the roof. Nothing is simple.
Hi Lindy
Hope you are having a good day today. Thank you for your information.
If you wet your hair down it can help keep you cooler. Especially if you have a fan or if there is a breeze.
Heat is the worst. I turned 68 this year. Thanks for the tips, Lindy.
As someone who is one pay check away from disaster, I've given living out of my vehicle a lot of thought. I think I would spend a lot of time near a swimming hole during the hotter months. 🤔
Lindy, I think it would help to have Marley's coat groomed as short as possible for the summer months. Keeping her cooler.
I am slowly doing it.
@@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 I do that with my fur babies. I'm in Florida hot and humid 🥵
Lindy, mix rubbing alcohol and water in a spray bottle and spray your bed, pillow, car seat, clothes, etc. 1/3 alcohol to 2/3 water.
Be cool !!! ❤
Those arctic air machines are a remake of the old swamp coolers that they used to use down south. Water (or in your case ice water cooled air.) The swamp coolers looked almost like a central air conditioner, but it was hooked to a water source and would blow the cool air through the air ducts of your house. I have a store that has one outside, but I have never tried to use it since it is very old. Stay cool Lindy and Marley.
Yes we had them in our ceiling. I remember them they kept the house cool
My understanding is they work ok in dry conditions but don't work that well when the humidity is high.
@@notanomad9320 It's what I've heard.
Please stay cool, this summer in America is going to be brutal ❤❤
Well Bob Wells said a NO on the ecoflow. My problem is in the desert in Ca it’s about 110 by noon. Keep up educating us. Love the sun but it’s a tough one as we get older.
That's awesome you found kindness, you couldn't be in N.Y..
Dear Lindy: Oh, how I dread the hot weather!! After menopause (73 now), I started to feel the heat very badly. Once my body temp goes up, I cannot cool it down..I just keep sweating. I'm glad you found some ways to stay cool. YES, it's a LOT! UGH. Stay safe and blessed. 🥵 Rosemarie ❤️
Same with me😅
Having a MaxAir fan to pull out the heat would really, really make a difference❤
You always make us smile beautiful lady! Stay cool! Hugs!!🥰
There's a good reason why grocery stores keep the temperature way down, it helps with keeping the food tasty n safe longer. Many foods that have oils in them will go bad when the temperature gets above 80°. Peanut butter is one that we don't normally keep in the fridge or cooler but is one of those foods. Even if it's not open it will still go bad. Box foods could have oil in the ingredients, like a box of Mac n cheese. Plus the plastic containers like for your water is more likely to leach their chemicals into the contents at higher temperatures. You not only have to protect your pets and yourselves from the heat but your food and water too
They sell cooling blankets on Amazon $20 Plus they work … I have two of those ice filled swamp little coolers …Plus I have the Neck air fan goes on your neck charges on USB .
Thanks for the review on the Arctic Air. I might have to try that. Great suggestions.
I head out on my vaca in early Sept. because of the humidity in Florida, and Sept. is the worst hurricane month. And where do I go? The desert! LOL! It's more tolerable for me to have high heat and low humidity, than to have high heat and high humidity. If I could, I'd get out of Florida all summer, but that's not reality for me.
Once I get out to N.M. to visit my brother, it's perfect weather.
I hate the heat, but the humidity is just miserable. Iam in the south, and in July, August its just horrid, and makes it impossible to enjoy being outdoors at all. Swamp coolers make it way worse, but they do good in dry heat, like I had years ago in the midwest. Wetting and freezing sheets sure helped us get to sleep at night...get sheets out of freezer and throw on the bed, go to sleep before they get hot! ❤
They work better if your humidity isn’t high. Because it’s just cool water. The dryer your air is the better it works.
Hey hey Lindy great tip on a cooling scarf 👍🏽👍🏽, it also helps on the wrist too .
Lmao u crack me up ...u do put the ice EVERYWHERE 🤣😉
Happy to see and hear ur keeping cool 🥶
Sending ya loads of love 💫
Hi sweet Lady, last year I couldn't afford the extra $60.00 a month my landlord would charge if I wanted air conditioning in my studio apt less than 200 sq ft, but I had 3 of these artic air's so I was able to make my own ice, but what I also did was have my air fan blowing from behind the artic air that seemed to work, I would run or dip the filter in ice water or freeze the filter that came with it. That helped a lot and I would dip my t-shirt's in ice water, a lot of times I'd sprinkle the t-shirt with cold water and folded them and put them in the freezer and when they got frozen I'd put it on LOL. God bless you.
Hi sweet lady,
Be careful of what you're sitting on. Those synthetic seats create more heat combined with body heat.
Even in a house, it's nice to have old cotton sheets to drape across the couch.
😘
Thanks for the tips!
I’m in phoenix and last summer was horrible. I’m going on vacation this year for two months. Outta here. I have the scarves. They work a little. Marilyn Monroe use to put her panties in the freezer. Might try it this year. I’m 75 and work part time running from one apartment to another. Last year I threw up. I’m hypoglycemic and get the shakes. Stay cool👍
Hi lindy
Hear that! Heat is not fun! Climate change! Yeah I have small home but have 2 window shakers! Take care!❤😎
Thankks for sharing this info Lindy. Stay cool dear lady.
Dear Lindy 🙏💞a kiss to LittleMarley 🫂
I watch the regional forecasts and try to travel to decent temps, summer and winter. I’m sensitive to temperature extremes due to chronic illness, and both my dog and I stay in the shade when it gets warm. Hoping I can get a maxxAire fan in the back of my new van, because the window in back don’t open. In the meantime, a fan and a wet washcloth on all sensitive skin.
I noticed Bob wells just posted a newer video reviewing van cooling things
.
we have 2 arctic airs...one electric and one usb...I found ball ice makers on temu and i put the ball on top and the ice melts making it nice and cool in our van :)
I know your van is black, maybe buy white roofing panel from Lowes and put over top. It reduces temp alot. Make it were you attach only when your parked and either can block side of van or top after you are charged . They are thin and light weight 2ftx8 is shortest. You can also use em when you park to block side of van if your out of city so no one bothers
I have solar panels on top.
I keep my hair wet when I want to cool off. You can put it up in a bun, so nobody
can tell its wet. ❤️
Hi Lindy from Australia. Whew it sure gets hot here at times. I keep wet wipes and wet flannels in my fridge and rotate them to wipe the back of my neck to cool down. A small hint but it does work for a quick cool.
Great tip!
Child to know about the artic air... Ill kook that up. Could use it in apt.bedroom maybe ..thanks for the tip!! Stay cool.
A 77 yr old chi area
still standing 😂
Thank you for the video. Take care. Blessings to you
I can't tolerate the heat either. I'm looking at both the mini swamp cooler and the stand-alone air conditioner (currently ~ $237 on Amazon). Take care on these hot days Miss Lindy. 🌞🌡 Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
Ranger Annie to want to meetup so I can show you my set up???
Spray her pads and paws. Also, dogs can get heat stroke don't forget the pavement and beach sand can also burn dogs' feet . Rule of thumb too hot for you barefoot too hot for the dog❤
Lindy your van is black it attracts the heat get yourself a lot of white paint and paint your van!! I use a swamp cooler in my house and it really works great..God bless you!!
Nope there r reasons.
Did you choose black?
@@sactopyrshep no the only thing available to me at that time
Bob wells did a review today of Ecoflow. He had done the zero breeze last year and did not recommend the zero breeze. See what you think of the video. He got it for free and did not recommend it. Company was not happy with this. ❤
I saw it. The artic air works and it's $40 depending on size.
Hi Lindy. I know you will be honest in your review. I have written to a few you tubers who have put this in and said “ it only works in the “ heat” when it’s blowing directly on you. Face, feet etc. he responded that “ once the van is really hot it barely helps but if you use it in the early day or night it’s OK. What do you think. I know you are in ca like me and I’m not knowing which way to turn. A can roof can’t hold enough solar or enough lithium batteries to keep 110 to 70 degrees for 6-8 hrs. The recent person just said it was better than what is out there if you are boondocking but does not keep TWO people cool. Good for one at best. Have a good day. You are loved ❤️
I also installed a 8000 Btu air conditioner. I did videos on this still working through it.
I really admire you.
Stay cool my friend ❤️😎
Good video, good information Thank You 🙏👍
Have you considered painting the top of your van white?
School bus's in hot climates have white roofs.
I can't take the heat. I freeze empty soda bottles with water n put on my body. .it helps so much. I am in a house. Fl.
Next time you're in the store see if you can put a flat of drinking water in a freezer that they're not checking too often you can come back the next day and over half of that thing will be frozen solid if you could wait two days it'll be all solid you're not going to get away with putting 40 bottles in there but you can get away with a six pack you probably could hide a gallon in there but what's going to happen when the gal freezes that's a lot of expansion it can bust the container. Of course after you have cooled your body you can still drink the water.
God bless you. Is there a way to set up a shade over the van?
Thank you!
Elderly people should not be in extreme temps.
Spray yourself with Ice water & sit in front of a fan. Take a hand towel soak in water wring it out lay over the dog with fan is GREAT too
Invest in an ice maker !
Already have one did videos on it.
AND you would have to be in a dry climate to use an evaporation cooler. It won't work in Florida.
Thanks Tom I forgot.
🙂👍
♥
I know a lot of folks awear by that Artic Air. I wonder.about thr moisture in your van and possible mold. Has that been a problem yet?
No nothing. No condensation
How does ur air conditioner work???
Hi Lindy, keep cool. How is the air conditioner doing. Did u use it yet. Luv ya ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Thanks Lindy. I have an Arctic Air and I wondering if it would work..,
How does Marley like it ??
I have solar panels on my roof.
Really challenging. Which is worse, summer heat or winter blizzards?
Summer heat. Winter is easy for me.
Have you tried the cooling pads for Marley?
Yes I have one
✨🐕🐾💖✨
Why not move to a cooler climate bless you
My family is here as well as other obligations.
Get your van painted white
How much cooler is a white van exactly.
@@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 Based on what I googled, it varies from 9 to 10 degrees. That difference can mean alot if it is really hot and you are trying to “ cool” the inside. May not be worth the paint job though👍🏻
@@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 OR get the roof painted white only.
@@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 I use canvas paint drop cloth with magnets on Outside of van. I can almost keep inside van temp at ambient temps. Open doors/ windows on shaded side even better
@@patriot4life262 It isn't. I didn't intentionally buy a blk van. This is what was available.
Try soaking your clean bras in water, put them in a plastic bag and then freeze the bra.. lol
Good idea.
Do you get local water for free to help with making the ice
Yes from my son. But I have to drive there and gas costs money. Nothing in life is free.
Wisdom. 💜🩷
@@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 I hope someone local will see you and help you I've been helping my neighbor out with water I was brought up to help others when I can you are such a nice lady you make my day
@@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 I saw one van lady who got free water at the cemetery. Every morning.
You need to calculate your gas cost versus your cooling cost you might be better off relocating to a higher altitude sometimes you got to chase the temperature. Before I would pay for Las Vegas hotel rooms I would get the f out of the desert.
I have Dr appointments. I have to stay where I am at and deal with it.
Lindy I love u, our about you sometimes, tell Jason keep an eye on you, hold up wait a minute Lindy are you okay you went off kind of funny, somebody let us know that Lindsay is okay she seemed like she was there some type of distress can somebody let us know what's going on with her is she okay
I am fine just a connection disruption
You can't outrun global warming. Just ask a van dweller.
It's true. Blackouts already starting here.
Why not drive North? Or up. Go where it’s cool. That’s the easiest solution. You are way too old ( like me) to live in the heat in a tin box.
Dr appointment and money for gas
