We've had snow here last couple of days, and more forecast for the rest of this week.

minus 2 and 3 for me is fine, its minus 4 and above that i have to be careful, think i may just put heater in tonight just in case. cheers paul.

[Colin Day]

Had the heater on once so far...

[MAX Carpets]

Had it on all weekend.

I've had my froststat heater on for weeks I'm taking no chances, plus some of the solutions/products don't take too kindly to being subjected to just above freezing temperatures.

[John Milnes]

especially tonight. Dont put setting on frost protection as I'v had stuff freeze up at the back of the van.
I always put fan heater on 2 setting to make sure ambient temperature circulates around the van.
A fan heater only checks it's thermostat temp.....not where it could be -2 near the backdoor.

Nothing worse than getting on a job to find out trigger valves are  minced.

I once went away for xmas some years ago, put all my kit in the house except for the hoses.
-12 had punched a hole in one of the steel braided solution hoses :

[Neil Williams]

Perhaps I should add that 2 double quilts go over the top of machinery and other bits crates a smaller void to be heated, with the heater outside the 'tented area' but blowing into it (igloo like). If we get to the stage where it gets colder then a tarpaulin goes over the top of the van at night to further insulate it.
For the sake of  £1 or two in electricity you can save a lot of expense and lost time.

[John Milnes]

considering last years weather and home fuel prices going up.....i bought myself some jammies for the first time in 30 years!

Nice and warm in the morning...though still difficult to hide early morning glory

[Adam P]

all equipment comes in for me and then i just have small bottles so anything lost to frost isn't too much of an issue. easier then setting up the heating imo, though a pain in the morning when it's cold and you've got to put everything back in the van.
