I live in Ontario Canada and like Bob says you get used to it. The fall is the hardest though,it is the transition time. The wetness issues I find are less since I use veggie oil candles, veggie oil lamps as well as put a metal biomass over my propane heater. Both tend to heat up and eat up...

Owl, I also am enjoying this thread so thanks.

Positive, I read this, then sat thinking for 45 min before finding something positive, the last few weeks and months have been very negative, bad luck, negative people, bad health, etc etc. Snow, a few days ago there was no snow here, it was muddy, cold, wet, miserable really. Pulled up at 7pm...

Hey from Ontario, remember that Astros and Safaris are on a truck chassis, other mini van are on car chassis so a big difference there. When I had my business going, loading up the Astros then tossing on the utility trailer which was loaded as well was still safe. Loading up my Dodge Caravan...

Also not allowed in a lot of Canada actually. There is a fellow not too far away living stealthily,,, well not really stealthy in a vehicle/storage yard in a 40ft job, steps in the middle and right beside there is a chimney for a wood stove/heater. He also has propane heater near his bed area...

get closer too or among buildings help out with the wind factor. The stabilisers on the bumpers will help as well as new shocks. To topple your van the wind would probably need to be about 150km hr if your standing still. Less of a crosswind if your driving and are on the downside of the wind in...

I have started it after it has rained or when I got back in my camper, takes a while but definetly worth it. The chill and dampness kills me really so this is very nice for me to do. Bigger RV or Camper have two or three going, I section off the front half from the back half with a curtain so...

I just use the new oil from the 1 - 3 gallon containers when they come on sale. This week 1 gal for only $3.99 each. With the basic system of only 1 wick, of which I am sitting here with it going now, it uses at most 1 once overnight. With 2 wicks (made from natural fibre jute string) it uses...

wow thanks... can we get back to cheap heating now? Veggie oil is safe, cheap and if it tips over it goes out, as in it puts out the flame so it is safe. Easy to make, easy to make safe with a cover. Cheers and good luck with this site

Thanks, I do not use kero anymore though still have a nice heater sitting here unused and taking up space. Now I use the Veggie Oil or Propane

I had to stop using Kerosene to heat my camper due to the ever rising cost of the fuel. 3 yrs ago when I started living in the camper full time (this time) the price on the container of kerosene was only $11 then quickly went to $15 now it is over $28 for the same sized container! Recently I...

I use this until the temps drop to just above freezing. http://wildernessreturn.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/doomsday-veggie-lamps/ The bottom shows the first type that I had, there is now a more complicated system, that is safer with a vent out. Use good quality Veg oil only for less to no...
