Camping is often one of the most popular options when choosing a vacation destination. However, high temperatures mean the heat isn't always bearable, and solutions are sought.
One of them is spending the night in the car with the air conditioning on. However, is this good for the vehicle? A mechanic will provide the necessary answers and the reasons why.
"You can actually sleep in the car with the air conditioning on all night, like truck drivers do, and nothing will happen to the car. The car is designed to regulate itself for that," the mechanic explains.
"Of course, the problem could be that you, while sleeping, aren't monitoring the instrument panel, and a very dangerous thing is that for some reason, you have an exhaust gas problem and the car is absorbing it and pushing it inwards, and the death of sleep arrives," he warns.
"Therefore, it's important that if you ever do it, it be in an open field, in a ventilated area, or with the hood up," he warns.
