Yes we are going camping Monday, and best thing about it is it isnt going to cost us anything as we are being given it, as they now cant go!

So this will be our first outing in our new tent, and cant believe we are camping in March, we must be mad

So what can we do to make sure we stay warm?

I have read about blankets under and on top of the air bed, is there anything else we need to be doing?

Also we have some convector and halogen heaters, which one do you think will be best. Our tent is massive, and is 7 foot high and 24 foot long.

Thanks in advance!

Not mad but certainly brave.  :)

It is early. Even many seasoned campers would hesitete to go out yet!

As mufc (spit ;) suggests, insulation under is very important.  Whatever insulation below you will of course still need good sleeping bags.  A cold night can be a total disaster and put people of for life so I would say if you have any spare space in the car, put en extra duvet, sleeping bag or blanket in.  If you don't need them, come back and shout at me.  If you do, I drink Guiness.  ;)

Heaters will help but they are realy only a poor substitute for proper bedding and will be lost in that hanger of a tent. ;)

Hope it goes well.

What kind of tent is it ? Also have you informed site of its size just to save them trying to charge you for a double pitch ?

I hope you have a good time though
