Not really sure where to put this so I’ve gone for the OOF section, as it’s not completely photography related…
I’m planning on going to Snowdonia for a long weekend in November or December to take some landscape photos. I bought myself a VW T4 van a while ago to use as a camper whilst on landscape trips, but had always planned to have a diesel powered Eberspacher heater fitted for the colder months. Trouble is, these heaters are towards the fat end of £1000 to buy and have fitted, and it’s not really an option for me at the moment. A lot of people on this forum obviously visit and stay in areas like north Wales and Scotland during the winter, and I’m assuming that they either camp there or stay in hotels? Unless they’re lucky enough to be local!
I’ve been looking at sleeping bags and some reasonably priced ones have a comfort temperature of 3 degrees or so. I’ve insulated and carpeted the van since buying it, and it’s got a super comfy foam bed for me to sleep on, so if I stick some thermals on and pack a few extra blankets to go over the sleeping bag etc, I think it should be ok. I’m hoping that there are other people on the forum who have done similar (either in a van or tent) and might have some advice or tips? Or do you all just book into hotels and stay cosy and warm?
I would have posted this on the actual VW T4 forum, but they’re not as friendly or helpful!
Cheers!
