  4. Another great video! Your body gets used to the colder temp eventually, I work outside all day everyday, I do appreciate the diesel heater in the evening though! A karcher window vac is great for the condensation x

  6. I'm not a troll… but absorbing moister in to the black bags, then drying them by the heater is pointless! They absorb the moister from the van, then release it when you heat them up back into the van. It will be a unending cycle. If you have a power inverter, consider a small low wattage dehumidifier to use at night and while it's cold and damp. You can literally feel the difference after a few hours. The collected water can be chucked outside or poured down the sink. I hope this helps

  9. Hi, I have a thick curtain going across the cab area, this keeps the heat in the living space at the back. I like the idea of being able to get to the front to drive off if necessary, not that I ever have. Have you any trips planned for warmer regions? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  12. Be careful blocking your heating ducted, because the Trumar can overheat. Get a low voltage microwave, which can also be used for meals. Also there are thermal screens you can get that zip round your door, and your cab. They were invaluable when we were in Scotland at Christmas. I know some people buy electric blankets.
