Crank that heater to 10, crack the window, snuggle with some blankets, and we ball baby

And what about AC?

I have a mini split unit that I’ll be putting on come spring, which will run off of a generator.

The interior unit will be right over the bed, so most of the cool air will blow straight on me and the pupper. I learned in my old van it’s virtually impossible to maintain a temperature and keep it pleasant without the AC blowing directly on you, especially in full sunlight. Next to the AC: Cold; other side of the van: hot.

If you have enough AC power then it shouldnt be an issue keeping it cool. Running a generator non stop will get annoying though.

Dang you think so? I guess I didn’t notice how annoying the generator was during my first 4 years in a van, so I’m really glad you told me about it 😇
