I am disabled and also have Raynaurds which means my hands and feets are always freezing.
I absolutely love camping, now I'm not working and the DC are old enough to pitch the tent for me I want to make the most of it...but at night I am just so cold, came home early last time...as the DC have to pitch I just take the one room, five berth Coleman so we are all snuggled up but I get so cold!
I have all the gear in terms of thermals, sleeping bags, lots of layers, sleeping in hat scarf and gloves etc, but I was wondering if I could take a heater with me? We always have EHU and I have looked at low wattage electric heaters, has anyone done this or is it not a good idea? I wouldn't leave it on all night of course, am thinking warming the tent and maybe having it on for an hour if I'm cold in early hours.
Has anyone ever done this, or does anyone have any other ideas? I can't always manage fiddly stuff so controls have to be clunky
I was so proud I managed to take the DC last time but the cold was a misery to me!
