I camp all year round anywhere, sadly not with the children any more... but they did come when they were younger.
Campsite or not it makes/made no odds

To do this comfortably you need a safe form of heating and some very good auxiliary batteries.

Safe heaters come in the form of Propex, Ebberspacer, Webasto, Carver.
The best aux batts for long term non hook up, are by far the traction battery group. (see the thread on these) or visit the Trojan batteries website

Thanks for the heating tips, we are still very new to owning our T25 and learning to love all her foibles. I'll look into the Propex heaters. We have a wind out awning but thinking that we may invest in a drivaway especially if winter camping is on our horizon. Any tips on super-toasty ones?
