Just turn your inlet pump off drain the system and put a rad in the van, if they do freeze dont start untill thawed out or you will have a hefty repair bill

Oil filled rad in a smallish van is fine, plus the douvet, blanketts etc. Larger van probably require more powerful heaters.

Cant park near enough to house to connect a electric heater, so bought an ebersparcher diesel heater. Runs off the main fuel tank, and uses 0.1 litre /hour. Bit costly to purchase, but works really well. Also defrosts main windscreen, and warms cab up too.
