Default making the Jeep more comfortable

Now that Angel is taken care of, how bout a question about how to make the Jeep more comfortable for my husband and I.



Any Ideas!


We had a few here I will list them

  1. Freon(airconditioning)
  2. Trolling battery(for the electricity)
  3. Mosquito netting, to cover the windows at night
  4. Roof Rack, for spare tire and also for the gas can, to get it out of the way of where we will be sleeping.
  5. Extension cord
  6. Sleeping bags, for laying on top of
  7. Power inverter
that's all we have for right now, If you guys have any ideas. Please feel free to share them. Please don't insult our idea. Thanks

do your windows not work? or do you want the air flow. what are you going to do with the Freon. and i don't know if it happens by you, but where i live, i see trucks parked at Walmart with extension cords going to them. so you might be able to use that power. i would ask management.

The windows work, We want the Freon to make the airconditioning more cooler, cuz right now in Anya its kinda ugh because its not too cold. we also want air flow so at night we aren't baking. we have a huge fan that will keep us cool as well. We will ask the management about parking behind walmart for the electricity.

Roll of foam mattress to smooth the hump when the back seat is folded down for sleeping comfort.

Unfortunately we used US Converter, its 10,000 something dollars which we definately can't afford so I am trying to find one that we can use. It was nice. it turned into a sink, shower, kitchen table, bed, and also a stove top. I wanted it soo bad. It was soo expensive though.

any more ideas, all ideas will be accepted.

the only problem with that, is most pop up campers are expensive. plus his family would never let us park a pop up camper in front of their house. Also gotta get it insured, we only have enough to insure the Jeep

You can find good deals on pop-ups and you don't HAVE to insure it, do you?

Honestly I don't know if a camper needs insurance in Maryland. I will look that up in a little bit and check.
