Nord SledRunner Dec 2021 7:30pm, 18 Dec 2021 944 posts	0 Nord SledRunner Thanks for the replies! We are hooked up to the house but I don't think there is any electric heating in the van. Our el is about 10p/kWh. At least I feel fairly confident we can run with a little diesel for now.
jelly (limegreenjelly) Dec 2021 7:53pm, 18 Dec 2021 1,924 posts	0 jelly (limegreenjelly) These are ‘external’ electric heaters we bought although mr jelly does say you have trust your webasto is safe, he’s an ex hgv driver and says you would have the heating on all night if you were there so you would also trust it to be ok if you weren’t there!
Angus Clydesdale Dec 2021 1:10am, 19 Dec 2021 23,800 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale Yes! Jelly says what I was trying to say. Europe is totally full of truckers sleeping with a diesel cab-heater to cosset them. No reason to worry as long as it's well maintained. But I've never heated a 'van we weren't in. Perhaps I've misunderstood the question and we're talking at cross-purposes?
Nord SledRunner Dec 2021 10:58am, 19 Dec 2021 945 posts	0 Nord SledRunner Very good points re hgv heating, I hadn't thought of that. I did mean leaving a bit of heat on when not occupied, yes, just to keep it a bit above freezing, even though everything is drained. Now I am saying I am superstitious as well as ignorant

No particular reason, but it just feels like something that you could set up and leave for a few days.
