No worry about that. All German-made MH's have a very good insulation level (not the Italian Spanish or -some-French brands). One night I had -15°C, and it still was cosy (mine is a Weinsberg). The only chill you get in is from the front window; but they have special outward insulation blankets for that. The grey water tank is usually outboard; that's solved with a few spoons of salt.As our first m/h is a hymer. Could anyone say how warm they are, on a cold winters night.

Hi terryWe have a Hymer B544 with the blown hot air heating,was in norway and boy was it cold outside, but inside just right able to just wear a Tshirt and i FEEL THE COLD. you will need silver screens thoe.
you will have to check your handbook, i believe some models do have an electric heating belt to enable this but not all and definitely not the older models.Hi terry
Can I run the hot air in our b544 from just 12v, I am thinking of doing a weekend wild camping. Fillup water, put taps on to fill boiler, then put lpg on, will it all run ok for weekend? We have only just had hymer, not been in it yet.

I run my blown air heater all the time when wilding, just lower the thermostat, the inner control down to 5 and put a jumper on. You will find you end up turning it off. One important thing is heat up the hot water first and (if you have a combi boiler) make sure you have purged all the air from the system by, after filling your water tanks open up all your hot taps (nearest to the tank first) untill it flows with a steady flow, then you know your boiler is full of water, heat it up and keep heating it up say twice a day, especially before bed, then you know it won't freeze overnight no matter how cold it gets. I never leave my blown air heating on all night as I dont like to leave gas appliances running whilst sleeping even though they are meant to be safe. I have never been too cold in bed even down to -6. Just take a hot water bottle.
Hi Richard.
You may confuse Julie as you say that you run your blown air heating all the time!
Then at the end of your post, you say that you turn it off at night!
Now I and many others will know what you mean, but Julie has never used her Hymer and has quite a lot to learn!
I hope Julie that you don't mind me saying that and Richard, I am just trying clarify things, no offense meant
Hi GuerdevalMaybe you could plan your first trip in the company of another motorhomer, where are you planning to go?, how many and what size batteries do you have, ?
Hi Guerdeval

Hi Julie, If you want possible reassurance, we are probably going to Leek on a small CS next weekend.
If you want to join us we may be able to alleviate some of your worries
By the way, if you don't mind me asking, why is your user name kate13?
