My son and I just had a great spring break road trip through Arizona and Nevada. We did a little bit of everything from campsites to BLM land to hotels.
We did dispersed camping in two different places. Both times we slept in my Honda Element which was very comfortable. The first time we passed a motorhome but otherwise had total privacy. The second time it was pretty crowded. Privacy wasn't really my biggest concern though. What I didn't like was waking up at 6AM because of the sun. By the second time I figured out which windows to block. Then I remembered that I had dealt with this before and I was going to make a curtain or something but never did.
Here is the actual question. I've decided to cut cardboard into the shape of the windows that I can just push into the frames. I will add a pull tab to get them back out. Is there any advantage to spraying the window side of the cardboard silver or adding mylar? I think I'll want to do summer trips and that will help with the heat
Ha ha! I know its a ghetto solution, but I've gotten to the point where I'd rather spend the money on the trips than on stuff.
I am also open to other ideas anyone may have. Thanks!
