Every summer when it’s around July my family and I will rent a car and go on an adventure to a place we have never been before.
We have been doing these kind of trips since I was eight years old.
We have been to all of the states on the east coast and we have yet to explore so of the states in the midwest. We were on our way to the midwest in our rental van taking turns so we didn’t have to stop and rest as much. We made our journey in about a day with four different drivers. My dad was in the back of the van sleeping while my mom was in the front seat with me helping with directions. I was getting a little warm so I turned the dial to turn the heat down. About five minutes later I was still feeling warm and I saw that the digital thermostat in the car read 78 degrees! I swore I moved it down, so I moved it down to 70 degrees. The same thing occurred, I was feeling overly warm, but this time I caught my mom moving the digital thermostat up. I brought to her attention that I was sweating and that it was way too warm in the van. Unfortunately the van did not have zone control heating that split the temperature from the passenger to the driver. It was a basic model of a van, and I didn’t expect that it would have this kind of HVAC technology. Other than the temperature control problem, we had a great time on our trip.
