I slept a little better last night, although it was very hot for the first part of the night - 41° in the van, and of course now we don’t have the luxury of a fan.
We decided yesterday that our first job this morning was moving the camper; when we parked it up on Sunday it was in the shade but by the afternoon and throughout the evening it was in direct sunlight. So it’s now parked the other side of the same tree which means it will get the sun first thing and should be in shade by afternoon/evening and hopefully this means it will be cooler by the time we go to bed.
Our cool box and frozen food idea didn’t work; everything was thawed by this morning! All our drinks are warm and even the ‘cold’ water in the van comes out of the tap warm – the water in my hose pipe yesterday afternoon was actually steaming. We haven’t tried our cooling system with the clay pots and sand as we haven’t got any sand yet.
By the time the van was set up in it’s new position it was incredibly hot – far too hot to do any more physical work; so we lay on the loungers and read ............................... again!
It was hotter today than yesterday, but by bedtime the van was only 35° so moving it seems to have helped.
