the fogwash doesn`t have a frost protection but they can be fitted to work with a fogwash. the least complicated way is fill up in morning from a static system and have know water in the tank over night also the fogwash can be drained as can the pump. i have to run my electric out onto the street but i live in a quiet corner so can get away with it.
 other option is a lpg burner but will become expensive to run everynight

you can buy a proper night heater for about £100 off ebay, a night heater can be set to maintain temperature inside the van overnight, some vans and most lorries have them as standard gear.

they're top notch, our transporter has one and I can start the heater from the remote, I turn it on about half an hour before we leave on freezing mornings to clear the windscreen etc, lovely.
I've never been to bed with an ugly bird but I've woken up with loads!

I have a clever guy in India working on something like that for me. He's SLOW,.. but hopefully the end result will be worth the wait. I'll post pics etc when I have it.
