I have read on here in the past that people have used their FC in colder weather, and i would like to do that but I have had real problems keeping warm( once in the bedroom part the lining can feel cold to touch ) even in the warmer times of the year i have put the fan heater on before i go to bed the inside is cosy and warm but still the lining is cold i have checked the obvious making sure no gaps etc. any thoughts ?? or am i just a wimp :)
Hi we find even in the summer the beds seem cold so we now fold our quilt over to let the bed get warmer sometimes hold the heater over it to take the chill off. I think they get cold from below from the damp grass etc.
------------- If it ain't broke don't try to fix it!
my 2 women put hot water bottles in the bed about half an hour before bedtime,that was in tt,but we now have pathfinder like you.do the skirts not keep coldness out?
not noticed it to be cold in there myself and only use the heater in real cold weather.
We only have one skirt for our model and that is for the side we only use if we have guests camping with us so can't comment on whether they make a difference.
Electric blanket works a treat for us, can go on for a bit to warm the bed up and if it's a really cold night you can have it on through the night. Good time of year to buy them now aswell.
We have used our Pathfinder all year round , and have even been snowed in! We find having the end skirt on under the bed helps a lot. Also we put a quilt under our sheet, as well as using a thicker duvet on top, and put pur hot water bottles in whilst we are getting ready for bed. We don't leave the heater on overnight, but do hop out of bed to put it on as soon as we wake up and then get up 1/2 hour later.
if you think that the cold air outside under the bed board is making the bed cold you could try putting a sheet of polystyrene insulation under the mattress. You can get polystyrene from most builders merchants from half an inch thick upto a couple of inches thick. You would only need a fairly tin sheet, you may even get away with using polystyrene ceiling tiles. Both options are fairly cheap.
