alan126.....shetland wool blankets, track suit bottoms, hats!!!   Goodness, if I was that cold, I think I'd come home.  If we have EHU, we have a little fan heater which we can leave on overnight if it's cold, or how about a small electric blanket?

I carry that kit incase the leccy trips, usually run the fan heater through the nite if really cold. Mum is 74 and TBH she is a hot house plant mainly due to her athritis she does feel the cold, I am usually too warm but the van is heated for her

Large good quality (single) sleeping bags for us. We roll them up when we get up & put them at the front end of van on the seats with a pllow laid on top so we can relax on them in the daytime. This way we don't have to struggle to get them out of the seat underbox & they are kept nicely aired. We remove the back cushions off the seats when we are sleeping to make full use of the width space.

Making the double bed up, using sheets & quilts is a lot of hard work but we did it that way for the first part of our 25yrs of caravaning.

Perhaps its a sign of old age- but we believe in doing everything the easy way whilst caravaning - plus our poodle cant get in with us as well.

Cheers

Well i think that sums it up for me,double quilt for me and Hubby and sleeping bags and a fleece blanket (they HAVE to have Peppa pig,hsm and Thomas on their bed at home lol!)for the kids as they are on the bunkbeds,im guessing single quilts will be far to big for the single beds in caravans anyway?
