Keeping warm at night 🥶

[Itsmcb]

I trialed an electric blanket on my no EHU trip out to Postern hill, Camping in the forest site earlier this week. It was only 4 degrees outside at night but the blanket on its lowest setting was lovely and toasty. It's a king size but on the lowest setting only takes just over 2 amps using my inverter. Result I think

Thats great if you have the power but a hot water bottle or body heat is just as good.

Also , if you are basic Motorhomer ,army winter warfare training all clothes put inside sleeping bag , now that is toasty !!!!

I've just increased my solar to 300watts and added the 1200watt inverter so this was a trial run. Microwave and hairdryers work ok which was the main aim. The electric blanket was a bonus idea

Erm... Wine, a 10.5tog bog standard quilt, body heat of the SO and put the kettle on if it's really chilly.

And we did Christmas on the NE Coast and Valentine's on the top of Teesdale!!

Must breed us tough up here

Sounds like a good chat-up line in a bar to me.
Better than my usual:........
"I see your glass is empty. Would you mind if I put my teeth in it?"

We have a couple of candles ,and if it gets really cold we light them

Don’t tell my wife she will want one, she already has the heating on all night a 13.5 tog quilt and 4 blankets where as I just have a thin quilt it’s the same at home but there we have a water bed which is also permanently heated. I think she is one of the walking dead.

A 4 season sleeping bag and full thermals works for me, lay it on top and if it gets colder, get into it!

Extreme coldness, always carry a thick winter boiler suit. handy if your wild camping and have to move in a hurry!

Wow - some pretty hardcore motorhomers out there - me, just a duvet, a sheet or nothing



Now unread that

What is wrong with you lot. I’ve never had heating on at night, home away in motorhome or even when camping. I don’t use anything other than a summer duvet and have window or roof open.

 

[Reallyretired]

Swmbo feels the cold so we have electric blankets. Use very little lecky.

 

[WESTY66]

Good duvet and teddy bear duvet covers for us, no heating on at night unless it goes below 8-10 degrees as Mrs Westy feels the cold

Never have heating on, 2 duvets, sheets and a fleece if needed. If it's going to be cool I wear an old hoodie so I can put the hood over my bonce.

I have noticed however that the Carthago is a lot warmer than any other MH or camper we've had.

I don't normally shop at Aldi but on the way up to Newark last week, I popped in to pick up a few food things and finished up including a XL hoodie for less than a tenner. (got to keep the bonce warm these days as, I too, have no heat at night)
Didn't expect it to last long but it has survived it's first wash undamaged so there may be hope? Might pop into Aldi more often!

After years of tent camping and freezing at night, one of the main reasons for buying the van was to be more comfortable

Some peoples' bodies have thicker insulation than others.

(Just sayin'..........).

 

[The Wino]

If its going to be cold we just put a thin duvet underneath us. It makes a lot more difference than putting another on top.

Must be because I’m a softy southerner that I don’t require heating at night, not like these tough northerners
