i use an oil filled rad and have a small fan funning as well, not a heater fan just a fan blowing the warm air from the rad around the van, it's always toasty in every corner of the van, costs pennies to run,

Fired up this morning at home to keep the things warm for when I set up on an awkward job today.

Opened the side door and where the condensation from the exhasust had dripped on the floor of the cab it had frozen! That's a 40 minute journey with my heater going full blast. Scary!

Anything but oil filled and you're risking a lot more than a frozen pipe or two!

i was down in cornwall late last week getting my tm serviced and with the weather in mind and due to the fact that i was staying until sunday, hm filled the system with anti-freeze for me. i admit i was doubtful as the forecast was COLD, set off for home on sunday morning and it was minus 7 and the van had been in an open carpark next to the sea! got back yesterday afternoon and drained the anti-freeze and put the heater and fan in for the night and kept fingers crossed.
 
today, all ok, phew!
