    Two things, for whatever they are worth…

    1. If you get tired enough, the passenger seat reclined is quite comfortable.

    2. On my platform/drawer box, I have 3” upholstery foam from Jo-Ann Fabrics covered in a clearance full-size sheet set from Target that was like $7. I’m using a Walmart comforter that was the cheapest black one they had. When it gets “Ice Road Truckers” cold (aka below like 20), I have a Coleman 50 degree square sleeping back also from Wally World and that combo has been down past zero.

    I’m going to be using a 12V DC electric blanket like Rich soon but mostly for trying to keep condensation down inside the camper shell at low temps (don’t ask I can’t do science right now I’m a few drinks deep). I don’t require the blanket otherwise as I normally run hot.

    If you crack a vent window that'll help keep breathing condensation down

    It's all about the layers! :thumbsup:

    Edit: Oh, I lied.
    Looked at my Slumberjack on the way to work.
    It's a 40° not a 20°.
    I think it got down to 26° one night.
    Did just fine though I did have long johns and a hoodie on, also.
    Layers.

    I'm not so sure about the idea of memory foam. I wonder if they make "forget this day ever happened" foam? :notsure:

    I'm just imagining you driving to work with a sleeping bag across the front seat while you dig through it. Trying to see a tag while driving while drinking a coffee with a big old stogie hanging out of your mouth

    Basically in my head you are Kramer

    I'd say you're not far off.
    In light of current times, it's a redbull and a vape.
    :rofl:


    Since you brought it up.
    I've been working on my up front accessory organization.
    Have my phone for music and gps, gmrs, vape, other vape ( :rasta: ), mini fridge and small powerbank all plugged in.
    Find myself out on the trail fiddle flunking around getting tangled in gadgets and wires.

    Yes that is the current best and only method to control condensation. What I meant is that sometimes in some environments/conditions that isn’t enough, so adding in the heated blanket to change another variable may help prevent it even further. I’m also working on a vent fan setup and all of that combined should almost eliminate it except if I become a submarine.

    Must be a mouth breather. Stop breathing so hard. :D

    I think they make little 25oz. 12v dehumidifiers.

    It also works well for drying out psilocybe cubensis.

    Thought about that. No clearance for a roof rack with any type of vent fan. Plus I’m not keen on cutting holes in the topper.

    No room for a bucket inside with me when sleeping. My other solutions should take care of it.

    Do a slide mounted vent. They make them thingies.

    I used to be like that. Got tired of it. Now I have a paper map, USB drive, and one radio (with ext battery).
