    You should get yourself a dish pan. So you can fill it with water and stick your feet in it when you're hot.
    That's what my greats used to do before there was ac. I've tried it, even if the water isn't cold it still cools you off.

    A neat window ventilation idea can be found @ Rental Car Camping. ( A Japanese auto camping YT channel.)
    Mount in a thin plywood frame 2 to 4 usb computer fans. Power these fans with a battery pack. The plywood board frame holding the fans slides into the half opened window tracks on a vehicle's rear door.👌 Corrigated plastic sheet board works too, instead of plywood; it's more flexible.
    So, for ppl who don't want to hack a big hole in the roof of their rig for a Maxx Air fan, this is an easier ventilation idea.

    I've always found in the eastern Sierra, if you're above 9000'-12,000' surrounded by granite the sun radiating against the rocks makes it seem 90+ degrees even though it's 78 degrees outside. And then you're sucking air which always made me work harder and overheat. I hope you get good temps and weather on your Whitney ascent. It's a pretty neat ecosystem when you're in 106 degree heat, desert, and then in the alpine on the eastern slope.

    Drink plenty of water in such temps. Ice coffee doesn’t count, caffeine actually discounts water content.
    Gorgeous sunsets. Texas has some good ones, although, the view is usually blocked by traffic lights &/or ugly buildings.

    I can't sleep when I'm hot, not even a little. I often open my window in the middle of a snowy winter just because everyone in the house likes the heat *too damn high* 😑 I would have melted to death.
    I was just in AZ 3 weeks ago. It was hot but we went to many places with AC for a bit each day. I don't know how you slept!
    But beautiful views
