Another fantastic video, Sue, thank you. I recommend a Kampa Diddy electric fan heater from Just Kampers (other retailers are available). This product had been recommended for use in a camper van when on EHU and you want to save diesel and limit the use of the diesel heating. I will be using this when we camp in February. I look forward to your winter camping tips in your next VLOG. xx

Hi Christina, I bought these separately. I can’t find the exact link but if you google ‘internal thermal screen covers for campervans’ it’ll bring some up. I use the internal ones when wild camping (in case I needed to drive off without getting out of the van) and also in wet weather on sites (no drying out). I also have an external screen cover which I use on campsites all other times (I have a link for that one if you want it). Hope that helps.
