    Hey Mike, I'm NOT a female and NOT interested in making plans but I'm in GA/Cobb also. Wonder how you keep warm at night? Been cold lately.

    i have a built i propane heater, my camper was built in salt lake city, UT and designed for cold weather camping. i don't use the heater at night and so far haven't used more than 3-blankets and a pair of longjohns, and i have more blankets plus it hasn't been cold enough to run the accuall heater so far i have just used the cook top burner, the camper used to belong to my grandfather who used it for hunting and fishing in northern utah and winter nights would get down to 40 or more below 0, even then
    grandma said they ran the heater on low or it would get to hot for them!!!

    That's great. I live in a house but I have a large van/bus rig and the insulation is lacking. I have a propane heater that does a decent job but I getting pretty cold under 35 degrees or so. Plan to head to warmer climates when I go full time.

    Sounds like you have a great rig, so it's basically a truck camper ?

    yes, it is a slide in truck camper, a few years ago i all so lived in a cargo van for about a year, it was uninsulated i wore long johns and used 5-6 blankets i would run the van heater get itgood and warm change and go to bed then repete in the morning to get dressed i would also park at family and friends and plug in a small heater i found it is easyer to keep warm in the winter then to stay cool in the summer, plus i ate alot better in the winter when you use a cooler just to keep your food from freezing overnight! plus it made stealth camping easyer, but i hated not being able to stand up
    after that i had an 18ft. tow behind camper that i lived in for a year but i had to keep
    it in a camp ground in austell, lost it in the flood, but it made stealth camping almost
    imposible so my truck and camper is like a combination of the two and only takes up
    one parking space plus if my living status changes in the future it will make a great
    man cave!!!!
