Just a thought with all this cold weather about has any one used thier van in the winter? and if so how did you get on with keeping warm and keeping the condensation under control?

well I'll let you know! we're off in the camper this weekend to the snowy coast of Northumberland. Very excited about some winter camping. We have great all season sleeping bags and a big duvet, and we've got a hook up so we can plug in the heater. Hoping it's going to be a lot of fun...

Post up some photos of your Freeze trip Jimmymarts when you're back - we want to see icicles dangling from your poptop!
Have a great time.

We camped in ours for a few nights last Feb, when there was heavy frost each night. We bought a small oil filled radiator for £20. Didnt make the van toasty, just took the chill off the air, and no problem when in bed. Did have ice on the windows in the morning from the condensation
