Hi xdr. Funny you should ask... The temps were just above/around freezing, day and night. I prefer not to run the Alde at night and rely on lots of blankets and the heat thrown off by the fridge (running on propane). I sleep with the roof vent open about 3" and a side window cracked to prevent condensationxdr said:What a great trip! Just seeing the sea lions would make my today.How cold does it get there in day and night? Do you find yourself staying warm in the Tab?


I use a down "quilt" instead of a sleeping bag for backpacking and it works great in the camper, toasty warm and not confining like a sleeping bag can be. Since it can be opened flat it also makes a great blanket or wrap during the day.

Hey fstop32! Great to meet another backcountry T@Bber! I have quite the down allergy and because I am dealing with menopause, I find that 4 layers of cotton, wool, and a synthetic sleeping bag make a lovely cocoon!fstop32 said:@Mellow_Yellow, you mentioned you "rely on lots of blankets" because you prefer not to run the Alde at night so I wanted to pitch a suggestion. I'm a winter backpacker and I'll sometimes go sleep in my T@b on a cold night just for funI use a down "quilt" instead of a sleeping bag for backpacking and it works great in the camper, toasty warm and not confining like a sleeping bag can be.

Coldest weather camping ever: well below freezing. Thankfully parked in a driveway on house power and following @ChanW ’s advice to block off unnecessary ventilation. I also added some foam floor mats which help tremendously with heat retention. 

Mellow_Yellow said:@Grumpy_G - That is super cold! My last night out, it was about -8C/17F overnight. And I don’t use any plumbing this time of year.@ChanW - even with the bed down, the foam on the floor made a dramatic difference in holding the heat in the trailer. I’m also going to cut a piece for the bathroom shower pan.Im looking forward to the next winter trip with this mod! I’ll post a photo in mods when completed
