    keeping warm in winter?

    What do you do to keep warm in winter while in your van other then leaving the van running?

    I found a kerosene heat used mostly for cottages and RV's, wondering of anyone know anything about it, its small and will last about 34 hours before it need to be filled ?
    I used to use electric blanket in my truck, that I used to plug into a power inventer 800watt.

    "the cure for rejection is-being able to see yourself as God sees you. It means announcing, "I am what God says I am, I have what God says I have, therefore, I can do what God says I can do". So even if you didn;t get off to a good start, you can still have a great finish"-Bob Gass

    Are you guys crazy?

    I dont know about you guys, but I like to sleep in my bvd's under covers, and wake up to a nice cozy environment.I'll get a generator, leave it outside, and run an extension cord to a space heater.I'm not waking up with a blue face, icicles hanging off of the nose.

    I sleep nekkid on top of the -20 degree sleeping bag. I don't even want to think what icicles would be hanging off of if I didn't have an Espar heater.

    I believe RichM and/or Davekc had a solution to this problem. Stay south of I-40!
