All wrapped up for the night now in an old duvet, 13.5 tog should be grand at that, i dont care if it gets condensation, its a sure fire bet it will as long as it doesnt freeze inside the van.

The gritters have all been out around here in Essex, one forecast I saw for Essex was -2 tonight.
I will be having my radiator in the van tonight. best to be safe than sorry.

First time I've put an oil filled rad in the van this year - we're only forecast -1 here in Bristol but I don't like having a stiff hosepipe in the morning ( :o ;D) like I did today!
It's a game of three halves!

Well it's -2 here just now, just been to the petrol station and had to spray wd40 into the petrol cap as the blooming thing had frozen. Oh joy
