I think my ratio is 3 days of car camping, then one hotel with shower and all.

Very similar to ours.
My wife and I sleep on a Exped mattress. A pair of residential pillows. We just use two sleeping bags, connected together with zippers that side opens in case one of us get hotter.
Fridge/freezer under the mattress, and it is always on. Blinds on front 3 glasses. The other glasses are tinted dark enough that it is invisible from outside unless someone really wants to try to see us inside.
We also carry a Jackery 1.5kwh battery, along with a mini induction cooktop, a small air fryer, and a small kettle with foldable handle. All of our gears pack very small - chairs, tables, etc. We also carry our backcountry camping tent (tiny when packed) just in case we encounter sites where they ask you to pitch a tent, but so far, we haven't experienced one. Few times, we used it to store items temporarily when we needed some room.
This setup also allows us to boondock at Walmart parking lot if we need to. All of our gear fits within the frunk, footwell, and rear trunk/side wells. Backpacks go to passenger front seat when we sleep. Nice to be able to do this, especially when we arrive late at night with no options and raining outside. Very easy to drive away in the morning and continue our journey.
Go to a national park where nothing else is available on a short notice
Test run in the garage. You might be the one who doesn't sleep well! Really, my 3 is a cozy sleeping pod but I tried out a couple of padding options before I found one that worked well.
It’s better to get the TT-30 plug from EVSE because it automatically sets the mobile charger to operate at 24amps. It also has a built in thermal sensor so if the receptical is a little corroded and heat build up it’ll stop charging. Much safer to use than an adapter cable.

lol, I feel you there. ...but car camping is fun and if averaging $150/night, in the past 18 months of owning my MYP, I've saved over $7,000 by car camping instead of buying a hotel. Makes for even more travels.
Also, check ahead because some campgrounds don't allow any EV charging at all, even on 5-20. Blows my mind. Guy next to me running a rolling mansion running dual heaters, cooking, stadium lights on the outside, etc, etc., but EVs can't use a 5-20.
I can say how I got my parents into it. Where they are in Texas, they lose power regularly. "Hey, you know if you lose power you don't have to sleep in the hot/cold house... just sleep in your car...." Get them on board with the that, then the situation is not "I'm not doing that". It turns into "Hmm... I wonder how do we do that comfortably." Now they're in.
It doesn’t really block, just reroutes the airflow. I didn’t feel uncomfortable and don’t want air blowing into my face all night anyway.But that blocks rear vent flow.
I find the back of the car under the hatch (where you sleep) doesn't get good airflow and temp can be quite different that the hvac set point. This is especially pronounced in sub-freezing temperatures. I use a small USB pedestal fan setup on the center console to move more air from the front of the car to the back. Its somewhat effective.
Interesting. I'm the opposite
I agree with boones. There can be a big delta between hatch area and front if the rear vents aren't on. I wish there was a way to activate them via app.
Going to spend 4 days / 3 nights at Yosemite before the weather gets better and the crowds roll in for the spring/summer season. I'll be working about 4 hours a day and hiking/biking the remainder of the time.
I'd really like to sleep in the back of Model Y during this short trip. There are a bewildering number of mattress options out there and I'm just starting my research. Would love recommendations from folks here for a Model Y mattress. Thank you!
