Well many thanks for all the replies and suggestions.

We have decided we will not be going winter caravanning without .....

COPIOUS amounts of :  Bubble wrap, torches, propane, bedding, polystyrene, warm clothes, wellies, waterproofs, alcohol (of choice), comfort food and not forgetting EHU, slow cooker, hard standing, porch awning, large bucket and the Caravan of course!!!!!

Thanks again - Pam 31

Gas - trust me, when you wake up with 6 inches of snow on the caravan and the gas ran out in the night, it can take a hardy person to go and change the bottle!!!!!

Well in my case, I wouldnt go winter 'vanning without a Hymer carvan!!!

Pual system means high insulation of walls, floor and roof; the internal water tank means no worries for water, and all the pipework runs are not only internal, but also right next to the blown heating ducts.

Oh yeah, baby! A bottle of gas, a comfy duvet for the superb fixed bed, and a cup of bedtime hot choccy while you snuggle down with your book is all you need!

Mr Hymer does make exceedingly good caravans.

We always fill the kettle before we go to bed. Then if the water pipe or aquaroll have frozen we do not care!

The camera...just to show how damn cold it was.

A good board game: TV is so naff in a caravan

My Cadac: but take the cooked breakfast off in between 2 slices of fried bread, it cleans as it goes!

A head lamp, so you can keep your hands in your pockets when you go to the loo (I mean while you're walking to it, not actually fulfilling the act)

A chocolate. Always.

 

Strax.

We were out his weekend and didn't bother connecting up the water, we had a serviced pitch ie our own tap and filled a jug for the kettle/washing-up/washing and a pump flack for handwashing.  It was ok!  So much less to set up/pack down!
