Hi!

The weather up here in New England is cooling off, and thoughts are
turning to winter. My wife and I are thinking of trying some winter
camping in our Westy. So far I have a set of thermal curtains that I
got from Bus Depot a while back, a Mr. Heater buddy heater (with a O2
sensor, and also a CO detector in the van), or a Pelonis ceramic
heater if we can plug in. We have a couple of zero degree sleeping
bags. I figure we can hang a heavy blanket to block off the driving
compartment from the back of the van to keep the area to be heated to
a minimum, and of course we wouldn't be keeping the poptop up while sleeping.

Besides the above, any suggestions of other things that we could do
to do some winter camping in the Westy?

Thanks in advance,

Ric
