Preparing my Campervan for a Cold 25°F Night / a night in a life of

#vanlife #touqe
With the overnight low going down to 20°F tonight, I thought this would be a good time to share how I stay warm in my un-insulated van. My van doesn’t have insulation. But that isn’t a problem most of the time. I tend to travel and stay in warmer areas. On the occasion, like tonight, that the temperature drops below freezing, I have several ways to stay warm and comfortable. Between my clothes, blankets, sleeping bag and Olympian Wave 3 propane heater, I’ve found it easy to stay warm in freezing temperatures.
After spending a few days dispersed camping outside Ash Fork Arizona, I decided to move on. The weather report was showing rain and snow in the forecast. And the overnight temperatures were going to drop down into the low 20°s. So it seemed like a good time to move on and find a warmer area. After looking at the options, I decided Prescott would make a good destination.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.

I came across your videos because I've been searching for a heating solution for my "jeep life". I live in Alaska and, like you, for the past 7 years have been tweeking everything from clothing to how I make my coffee in the mornings. I've lived everywhere from Tok to Kotzebue to Juneau. I sleep comfortably in my heavy cotton canvas bag (filled with a down sleeping bag and blankets) and have been weighing the pros and cons of everything from Planar diesel heaters to not using anything at all. Until I can afford property and a cabin in the woods, I think the Olympian Wave heater you've shown on several other of your videos is my ticket. Thanks!

[@StaticCamperVan]

Hey that’s great to hear. Hopefully you saw the info in the video description of my latest Wave 3 video about the budget option for an Olympian heater. If I lived in Alaska, I’d probably want a Planar, too. But I don’t like being cold!

[@livingsimplytosimplylive6817]

What an informative discussion. Great and practical ideas you presented.

[@inquisitivelycurious2187]

I've used a Walmart electric blanket which should be your plan "B." Hook it up to any battery generator, and you are good to go. They are outstanding. I don't use the propane unit until it is time get out of bed in the van in the morning, or before you go to bed at night. Try it they work!!

[@StaticCamperVan]

My electrical system isn’t robust enough to run an electric blanket all night

@@bennyhill6161 At the moment, my battery and solar are too small for what I’m already running.

[@alexanderweaver7066]

I love watching the van life videos and particularly yours, Scott...for your sense of humor. Lol 😆. I'm a newbie at this but picking up all of the great tips is turning me into a well experienced van traveler. I loved how you set up your stove and copied the idea as best as possible. However, I use the canister stove found at an oriental market for 40 bucks. My back up is a two burner Coleman that is in storage and a backpacker unit for hikes. I use a Coleman zero degree sleeping bag but have not experienced temperatures below 32. I don't zip it up and works well for me. I like the duvet idea and will pick one up at Ikea in Sacramento. My most recent add on were two solar sensor lights by Aootek and came in quite handy when a large black bear came into my camp. I was about to exit my van when the lights came on exposing the bear sniffing around my campfire pit. If you boondock as much as I do solar lights may help keep you out of harm's way. I never heard the expression "took" before for watchcap or beanie before. Funny, I keep as many in a clothing drawer...maybe seven including an orange and a brilliant lime yellow (plus matching safety vests) should my van breaks down at night on the highway. Keep the videos going, Scott...love them!

Find a hot water bottle that is silicone, or other food grade material. In the morning just heat the already sort of warm water up for your coffee or tea. All that’s wasted is a little fuel to heat the water for the bottle; don’t really have to consider it wasted because it kept you warm all night.

[@StaticCamperVan]

The hot water bottle that I own is silicone. And I reuse and reheat the water in the hot water bottle. I’ll make a more detailed video answer to this as there seems to be a lot of misunderstandings about it.

[@kevinpachecocoterillo6900]

Nothing better than a hot coffee or tea to keep warm, but even better if you could make a good use of a heater. I like the way you're turning your minivan into a real and cozy home. By the way, I love that Bigfoot-like logo holding a mug at the end of the video!

[@dominiquebt]

I totally agree with you about using natural fibers as much as possible. I wear thin layers of wool all year long and adjust the number of layers according to the weather. Highly breathable, durable and can't beat it for temperature regulation. I've had a few thin tees for 5+ years, worn them 100's of times and they still look nearly new after washing. Can't put in the dryer but they dry quickly. Totally worth the little higher price tag.

I grew up calling the knit caps: stocking caps. I later began calling them: Watch Caps after having been in the Navy. Only in the last ten years, give or take, have I ever heard the name Took. I believe it is Canadian. Nothing wrong with being Canadian it is just where I first heard the term used was from a Canadian source. I, too, am in favor of natural materials. Just the way I grew up and there were few synthetics back when I was a kid. I've tried synthetics and had questionable success using them.

They’re made in Canada by a small company (I found them at Midnight Sun Coffee Roasters in Whitehorse, YT) but they do have a website. Shipping is expensive but worth it. Mohair seems to work even better than merino wool to keep you warm, it’s just the quality of the fiber. It almost seems like a miracle how good they are. Stay cozy! 😊

Some good tips. You probably have one already but hot water bottles work much better with a cover. They release the heat slower and more comfortable to the touch. Could you heat the hotwater bottle via a campfire and just keep re-using the same water to not waste gas/water when out in the woods ? Also I've heard (but never tried) that the heat warmer element from car seats can be used as a 12v electric blanket.
