    I wonder if some quilted blankets with velcro to the soft sides would help as insulation? RE: Beer... So then with an outside temperature of 32 deg. how many BTU's would be needed to get a pint of Guiness up to room, err I mean, camper temperature for proper consumption? :-) BTW, I ordered a...

    Well, upon waking up this morning I'm back to "Simple is Better" so going to pass on the heater core/exchanger. Pods- thanks, your point about disconnect, et all, made me realise it'll be too much hassle. GR- yes, a warm jacket seem to be a pretty low tech solution but I'll have to do some...

    Well, the dog isn't responding favorably to any furnace lighting training so I'll scrap that idea. She also doesn't seem to like the idea of a doggie treadmill with generator to charge up the battery! I guess when we're on the road it's her vacation, too. :-) Pods8 - thanks for the...

    Has anyone ever toyed with the idea of connecting a duct/flexible hose from the truck's heating duct into the camper? I recently picked up a used Four Wheel Eagle Shell to put on a Toyota Tacoma, ran into 26 degree cold and thought how nice it would be to have some heat going into the camper...
