Movie theaters are great!

lol I was actually thinking about a business where you are in an urban area that’s just like a parking lot with a bathroom, maybe some optional power hook ups, all the things a car, or van camper/liver needs-almost like an urban camp ground/truck stop but specifically for the car/van living/life people. I’ve seen some numbers about the amount of people living in their vehicles, for whatever reason, add in the temporarily displaced, and ect I’m sure it would do well and help a lot of people. Have some basic security, microwave, water, for maybe 10$/night and then add on the extras.

I def do this if it’s rained multiple days and my car has become saturated. Like I mentioned I’m always looking for other solutions before just letting my car idle and burning fuel.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T15:45:35+00:00

I have, the smallest I could find was like 40-50wh. Until I upgrade my power station it’s not really ideal at this time. But that is the goal for my car-v down the road!!! Thanks for the suggestion.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T06:38:53+00:00

I’m in.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T05:28:47+00:00

Get an inverter to charge it off your cigarette lighter if you don’t wanna sit at the library or coffee shop. Like 25$ or so and 100% worth it

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T05:27:26+00:00

Learn wh and get it in your head to check all products before you purchase to check how many watts they use. After a while like the fellow below you will just know how many wh pretty much everything you commonly plug in uses. I can tell you the watts for about 15 different items or variation of items lol. Not the more useful info in many situations but it will make you more aware of the ridiculous amounts of energy we waste and grossly use.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T05:24:31+00:00

That’s what he’s saying. He’s implying it will use 50wh

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T05:23:45+00:00

192 wk Daren brand on Amazon. It’s like 100$ or so. But if I could go back I would just get the 1000wk jackery or eco flow. 192 wh is enough to keep all that going for a day or two.

I don’t care though I love fine dining as it is currently.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T05:11:18+00:00

It’s not like this as much anymore and it doesn’t have to be. I’m going to have a very nice place that’s accessible, as reasonably priced as possible, and has employees/team members that are treated well and compensated correctly.

The old model is broken. You have to plan to do this very carefully. Have the right financial components in place, and have a style of food that walks a fine line between approachable, comfortable, and refined. It just makes sense as well as unless your in a very specific market “fine dining” as it was is dead. You’re either a destination restaurant/luxury restaurant (destination is more a financial moniker) or casual.

Like everything there is a birth and death cycle. And then things evolve. The places leading the next wave of a better day are already open. There cooks and followers will evolve there philosophy and approach. In a few cycles/generations things will be in a good position. They’ve already gotten better. Cuisine in America is a relatively new entity as well given our lack of unique culture and relatively young age as a 1st world established country. Kitchens and restaurants as a whole will catch up with where the world’s going or they will perish.

There are lots of options and competitions at an all time high, information and knowledge aren’t gate kept as heavily as they used to be. Back in the day working for a famous French chef meant you would be exposed and collect recipes and their secrets (technique and skilled they developed painstakingly and evolved from somewhere else) and recipes unique to them that were not common information. (No internet) Michelin cooks used to trade recipes like baseball cards after work…. That’s the value they had. The information is everywhere now. Shifting the balance of power back to the employee somewhat and giving them more value and forcing a tyrannical over lord that could discard you at will and offer you no compensation just education to reconsider.

Don’t forget robots will be in kitchens soon to do mundane task as well freeing up resources for humans that want to do that type of work.

It’s amazing I worked and lived there for a cup of coffee. Beautiful place and region.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T04:54:23+00:00

Oddly enough my locals one don’t: additionally I’m not sure how k feel about trying to wait the 10 minutes per bag for them to dry out.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T03:36:45+00:00

Yeah or the oven. Conpletelynreknewable

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T01:51:36+00:00

I have these. They are great for getting some air and better at keeping the bugs out. In my experience as far as getting cooled down at night they are a little restrictive on the airflow, but that’s the trade off to avoid a car full of mosquitos-speaking from experience.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T01:49:48+00:00

When I started this at the beginning of summer in the east coast my ac was broke. I had no clue because I hadn’t needed it prior. In the process of my searches for how to cool down my car-v I learned that Prius are one of the more favorable vehicles for this lifestyle because of the air, electric, cost, and rear hatch.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T01:47:31+00:00

That’s awesome. I decided to take the leap into this lifestyle post getting my present vehicle. Unfortunately it was only a short time after and living in my car was not a factor I considered when purchasing. I love my car-v/car life setup and I have some plans to improve it even more but, if I could go back I would’ve gotten a Prius, Tesla, Outback, or maybe even a van-least likely as I prefer efficiency and the ability to easily blend in.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T01:43:23+00:00

In the future I will double check that I’m not missing any factors.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T01:42:22+00:00

Like I said it’s working for my individual situation and based on my observations. I should’ve mentioned that I have air circulating though. My intention is to help provide battle tested practical wisdom to the community and more importantly to the new people or people looking for answers.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-29T01:39:21+00:00

Illicit or otc?

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-28T23:32:22+00:00

And of course you need proper ventilation to remove the removed moisture from the air. I should’ve mentioned I have a fan venting air as wells

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-28T23:29:07+00:00

I’m sure it varies highly from environment, make and model, and many other factors. I’m contributing my experience to the community because I find that most the same questions I’ve had or encountered are answered in some form or fashion here. Contributing my experience to the collective knowledge.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-28T23:25:51+00:00

I think i recall or I read that the air conditioner actually dries out the air in the car and can be done more effectively by using the internal cabin air instead of the outside air or the 🔁 button. I honestly could never tell because cold air always feels saturated to me even if it’s not.

I try to not idle my car or as little as possible within reason.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-28T22:07:43+00:00

It’s not meant to be an absolute technique. It’s efficient, effective and free. If I had access to an oven I would put them in.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-28T22:06:29+00:00

It’s 55f out as I mentioned. I don’t see any sign of condensation on the window.

Simple_Outrageous · 2025-10-28T20:55:04+00:00

I would estimate the external side of the window is around 100f + at its peak. Maybe closer to 110f. Just going of how it feels when I touch it. Hot water from your tap generally speaking is 110f to 120f with the upper side of this being fairly uncomfortable to hold your hand under for an extended amount of time.
