I sure hope folks truly appreciate the value of this information. I couldn’t imagine working through -40C; that’s far too cold!! I’ve had the family camping in -10C, but even then we had the camper heat going with multiple electric heaters too.

Another very informative video. Thanks

I could not agree with you more, warmer is better and why I am in Florida 🏝️ 😅. Excellent video and very helpful tips. Thanks for sharing.

With all due respect, a badass four-season Canadian-made fiberglass truck camper such as a Northern Lite is not even close to in comparison of that of a van or an RV. But thanks for sharing practical advice on how to, in general, survive in cold winter conditions

Hey just found your channel. I’m in Alberta as well and I’ve stayed in my bus in the cold winter with my diesel heater but I’ve also camped at work in my jeep in minus 47 with no heater lol. I’ve been able to make it work. It’s really cold here though hahahahah. Enjoyed the video.

Hi Kevin, great information mate X X X

Look up Truck house life. He squeezed a wood stove in a truck camper SMALLER then yours. It's saved his bacon several times. Those Chinese diesel heaters are unreliable, they soot up and the glow plugs fail. You should rebuild them once a year. , one needs 2 back up plans for heat if your camping in Alaska like he does.

Awesome video very well done great job 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦

Cooool. Keep your mug frosty, and your keg above freezing. 👍👍

Lots of us have wood heat on campers, no problems

I learned a lot. Thank you for a fascinating discussion.

Hey you coming back? I really enjoy your videos!

Well 👍, u gave the winter a try, n ya did it! And good tips for anyone wondering what it would be like. The older I get, the less my stamina I have for wanting to deal with freezing my arse off lol. So u summed it up for me "it sucks!" Lol. Now I did 2 winters in BC in my 5th wheel (sold it) n man the constant sogginess, the constant cloudiness, constant condensation issues, yeah I hated it. I don't know how much diff it would be in my truck camper only being i hated it so much back then can't see me ever doing it again, period. (Oh it was the second year that everything became a problem in the muggy weather. First winter not so much an issue). 🍻

Good video sir.

I see propane tank blankets are an option, but quite pricey. Have you considered a portable wind generator as another energy option? And for the summer months, a portable water generator, if of course you're near an adequately running stream. I have a 100 watt solar unit on the roof of my small camper , custom made an additional remote solar unit where I can direct it towards what sunlight there may be...switching between the two when necessary. If I were to do full time off-grid camper-living I may consider an RV indoor wood stove as another option. Despite the cold temperatures, the positives can also be worth the lifestyle. If you want to get away from the crowds; stay inside cozy warm during a winter blizzard. Peaceful journeys!!

Kevin can I ask you couple of questions. I know nothing about surviving below 9 degrees. I slept 33 days in a row 2022 lows were 9 overnight. Things for me now are bad and be living in my minivan May1st paid rent for April. Heres my 3 question if youve time : Im in a van more or less a dodge caravan. I removed the front seat moving to BC and living in the van. When it reacches -4 -2 -6 in and around October / November I was going to do one of 3 things to survive. - option 1 buddy heater with my passenger seat removed I can build metal cage for the heater to sit and never spill setting me and the van on fire. Like a 4 wall metal protector and buy minoxide alarm option 2 - Hit camping store and with my wooden built bed just buy -40 mummy sleeping bag wear balaclava over my face so sleep only nostrils eyes exsposed. option 3 - this option is nuts the mini stove where I cut a hole in roof of van and have the heat pipe pop out roof and burn wood. From these options I feel BC only reaches -10 at worst and option 2 just splurging on blankets -40 quilts sleeping bags with me also wearing long johns may be enough no flames no buddy heaters running. I do not have a clue or help for installing diesel so thats out as is propane. Be honest am I off my head with my 3 options or will I experience a slow death. This is worst night over entire winter there -10. I appreciate any input you can send my way.. Thanks Kev.

Totally agree don't go walking in the backcountry, Bigfoot will find you and eat you😮

There is a company called east to west that makes pull behind and 5th wheel campers that have a 5 inch thick insulated roof and floors and 3 inch sidewalls, it has heated tanks, heated water lines, both a/c’s have heat pumps, an electric fireplace, regular propane heat. So if you have enough batteries you will have heat. I am trying to convince them to produce a truck camper.

will this work for Kia Souls too?
