Near-winter boondocking went surprisingly well, for a first-time try.

The 40-degree nights were VERY comfy, and even the 30-degree night was OK. With a minor tweak I would now try a 20-degree night (with hookups).

I used a 75-watt clamp-lamp for night-time lighting/heating... took the hookup campsite next to the shower building (the heat and hot water were on)... was snug in a cold-weather rated sleeping bag supplemented with a layer of flanneled el-cheapo bag.... had the right calories onboard (pop-top chicken a la king plus brown rice cakes and apples)... only lacked a small doggie for late-night alerts and company. (I never even had to add the down booties, the jacket, the funnel-necked poncho, the nightcap, or the gloves.)

With this experience-- we are also now rated to try the pop-up camper for two under the same weather parameters, with the oil-filled rad, the tiny ceramic heater, the electric blanket, and the down comforter.

Cheap geezer RVing.
