How can I camp out in my SUV?

Three Tips for Camping Out in Your SUV

Make sure to keep your SUV ventilated

Your windows tend to fog up from your breathing throughout the night. One way to keep your SUV ventilated without letting bugs in is by using painter’s tape to hold up mesh over your open windows.
