Nice idea Susan but these Eberneezerspatula units are a bit pricey  :o

you can get the recon ones quite cheap , you get the money back for them on tax , and they paid for them selfs in two days of not having the van frozen , you can go any where you like in the van and never have to worrie what the weather going to and its great seeing all the cars in the street with 6inches of snow on them and your van with northing

If the temperature forcast is forcast to be lower than 2 degrees I play it safe. Never trust forecasts to be accurate.  I just run a small fan heater and set it to just above frost protection.  No timer needed. If it doesn't fall below freezing the heater won't kick in.  If it is freezing the heater will just come on for a short period and shut off again once Van is kept to safe temperature.  Little cost and only spends when it's  absolutely needed.

Ive got the silver bubble bk insulation sheets and wrapped my 500 litre tank.
Last winter and currently i use the oil radiator, its only dinky and a digi timer plug. I set it for an hr at midnight till 1am then bk on at 3-4 and finally at 5-7 or sometimes longer. I have a 2006 fiat scudo and inside of roof is lined with same insulation. Not had any problems with freezing.
Currently waiting on hearing how someone has got on with a hot tub heating pump. Look on the thread "is anybody using this to heat the water" thread.
where does one purchase the silver bubble stuff.?
