It may only be the beginning of spring, but I am curious, and it's never too soon to think about it. Does anyone who lives in their van, do so over the winter, who is not a snowbird? I am pretty much stuck here in Calgary because I have a FT job that pays well, and the winters can be long and cold. Average temp is prolly around -20C, with some days dipping to -40C. I had to move into a stick built over the winter, and I am stuck in it for the foreseeable future, but I want to get the van ready for the coming winter. <br><br>My van, if you have seen my thread is not a conversion like many of you have. It was built to be a campervan so I have limited room on the walls already. I'll be putting in some insulation behind the walls soon to help, but I am curious about how others in cold climates adapt. I believe the propane tank is only a 20lb tank, but I'm not 100% sure, I'll have to look again.<br><br>Most the blogs and forums that I have seen that reference winter vandwelling either point to moving to the south, or it being a van they converted. Usually a large box truck which has the room to add thicker insulation. I may have only an inch or two behind the walls.<br>
