    I live in a van, so there’s no plumbing to worry about. Just turn the master switch on my power system so that the batteries aren’t trying to charge in too cold of an environment.

      How’s the van life?

        It’s better than being on the street. Mostly survivable, but not as satisfying as I’d hoped when doing my buildout. Of course, external factors didn’t help.

          For a moment I hoped this could be out of desire for adventure and not need. Sigh. I didn’t mean to sound insensitive.

            Job loss, mechanical failures … usual delights.

      If you’re worried about frigid temps I would recommend a diesel heater. I’ve been living in a tent for about two years now. It’s gonna be sub-zero this week and I expect no problems staying warm with mine.

        I’m currently running my diesel heater. I’ve just learned over two prior winters how low temps can get and still have it livable in here. Last night was 39, and thanks to my down comforter, I didn’t even have to run it until I woke up. 22 is another story entirely.
