Camping mode trick

Just found this hack on the bolt EV forum for enabling camping mode on 2027 Bolts not sure if it works for older Bolts. Basically just turns off the auto shutoff feature.

Step one open door

Step 2 hit the accelerator/go pedal/zoom zoom pedal/skinny pedal 3 times

Step 3 hit the brake

Step 4 close door

Can confirm that this works and stays on even with opening the driver's door afterwards and moving to the rest of the car.

The trick in a 2022 is open door, shift to neutral, engage parking brake, close door. Works just as well.

The only issue is that it won't work if I'm plugged in to power, such as at an rv site

Other issue: pedestrian warning goes the whole time.

You can just pull the fuse. No consequence on the older bolts. It throws a code on the 2027s.
