Hi All

Thank you for your replies it makes interesting reading.  We are staying at a CS site in Dorset to see family over the New Year after returning from Gran Caneria for Xmas.  One extreme to another in tempreture so i hope we will be warm enough. We are looking forward to using the van like you all seem to be.  Its nice to know that we arnt the only ones and its quite common to be away caravaning in the winter.  If we get on alright we hope to do a few more weekends away in jan/Feb.

Claire i will look out for the one in Robins hood Bay thank you because you right were not too far away.

We've just returned from a fantastic weekend in Grange (Meathop Fell CC Site) and it was fantastic.  Despite the freezing weather, I woke up at 2am on Saturday morning absolutely sweltering!  It was our first time away in our recently upgraded caravan and our first experience of blown air heating.  I couldn't believe it when I found myself having to open a window to cool the caravan down.  I knocked the heating off for the following night and it was a slightly different tale....  I can highly recommend all season caravanning and no longer give a second thought to my once beloved trailer tent.

Has anybody ever tried an electric heater in the gas cupboard to stop the blue gas dropping to below its critical temperature for working (5c or thereabouts)? Maybe a low power anti-frost sealed heater as used in garden greenhouses would do the job? Or maybe a heated blanket or whatever. Interesting to know your opinions....
