This Odyssey Camper blog post offers advice on staying warm while camping in a van, focusing on both passive and active methods. Passive warmth involves retaining body heat through the use of insulated cots, Reflectix, layered sleeping bags, and head coverings. The article then discusses active warmth, specifically reviewing a Sunbeam electric blanket and its low power consumption. However, the author warns about using the blanket with modified sine wave inverters, recommending true sine wave inverters instead. Finally, the post briefly mentions using propane heaters for larger vans or extremely cold conditions, advising caution due to moisture production and oxygen consumption.
