I know this has been discussed before, but despite a search I couldn't find the information I'm looking for. I know someone must have figured out a solution...
I am planning a road trip this summer that will require an overnight charging stay at a KOA. My wife and I are planning on sleeping in the MS. I purchased an inflatable mattress that is designed for an SUV and it fits very well.
The question is how to keep the HVAC up and running over night? I've tried:
1/ the remote app, which works but times out after 30 minutes.
2/ keeping a door slightly open which appears to keep the car awake. This too times out. Closing and then re-opening the door gives you another 30 min.
3/ techniques that require the car to be in neutral but then manually apply the parking brake don't work because the car won't go into neutral with the charging cable attached. Conversely if the car is in neutral the charge port lock will not release.
4/ I haven't tried putting dead weight onto the driver's seat yet. Has anyone used this technique?
If you have camped with your MS while charging I would love to hear from you.
Thanks!
