Wherever you buy them, make sure you get a thick blackout. It keeps you warmer in the winter months and allows you to sleep well after sun-up.

Dont want to be a party pooper, but I recon fires in such a small space is just to much of a risk if youre that cold, just put the grill on, at least a duvet corner/trouser leg/tee towel cant drop/brush past/into it flames, humans and a space 5 ft times 15 foot just aint good ______________________...

Your knowledge of geography is a credit to you Mr Murphy.

Thank you very much. Its nice that you appreciate my massive intellect.

How to keep warm when camping in winter?
Wear clothes, don't go naked (except at solstice of course).
Come on people, we're talking about the UK here, not bleeding Lapland!!!

In order to so do, I'll have to drain the coolant. Which brings me to my next embaressing question: I've probed around t...

OK, so if mine does have a stat, where would it be and what does it look like?

Sorry to seem a bit dim here, but isn't that the opposite of what I've described?

The temperature gauge in my van ('86 1.9DG watercooled) will only start to move from cold if I run the engine parked for several minutes; after 15 minutes it gets to about 1/3rd of the way from the left. And then once I drive off it will work its way all the way to cold again within about 1 minute. ...
