To cold to camp?

Waking up with your jeans around your ankles, no hat or socks sounds like a stag do and a half, the CPAP question is probably valid but more info required as it's less wasteful if you don't have to go from 12vdc to 230vAc then back down to 10vdc, maybe a 12 to 10v buck charger?

I appear to have deleted that post when I added about the hot water bottle being an essential.

Yeah, waking up alone, confused and with less clothes on than before sleeping isn't ideal hehe

It can't be too cold then as it's spotting with rain rather than sleet but on a more positive note just had a decent pasty after the excitement earlier of an RNLI "shout" as we were mooching with an inflatable and full-size lifeboat launch followed by the Coastguard helicopter, hopefully all safe.

Hot water bottle is an essential

You can use a nalgene (HDPE) bottle that you would normally use for drinking water if space is at an absolute premium

Sig bottles work as well.

Dartmouth farmers market and a delightful chorizo sausage roll and flat white to counter the weather's intermittent wash/wipe, proper tasty and it's actually not rained for at least ten minutes.
Not sure how others manage during British Summertime but working as a tag team on a par with the SAS the wife places an order at the artisanal till while I man spread at a suitable table and stare down as many fellow holiday refugees as I can until reinforcements.
OT but it must have been beautiful here a week ago in that cruel false dawn of summer... can recommend the chorizo sausage roll too.

A "BST" time zone does not a summer make!

Goes from bad to worse when we lost our gazebo in last night's force 10 stormageddon.
It was probably the Sharknado at about midnight in what was a full on "once in a century" event that did for our Halfords £99 special, got absolutely soaked and realised that when there's just the two of you trying to contain a minor disaster you should probably not tell the other half they're as weak as a kitten... she swore at me!
Apparently "why can't we have a proper holiday like normal people?" that told me, anyway...

Torquay, no rain or lightning today.

I haven’t got a diesel heater installed yet but looking at getting it done next year. Last time out a couple of weeks ago i used a 500w oil rad which kept it warm over night. Now that the temp has plummeted and I’m away for a few nights next week I’m considering trying one of those DREO ceramic heaters that are on Amazon. Anyone used one and have an opinion? They’re 1500w which would be just over 6amps. Reviews look okay but not seen a review for use in a van

If you have EHU, then no worries.

I’ve been sleeping in my camper for a few weeks whilst moving about and having a diesel heater has been a luxury I wouldn’t be without. And a window vacuum is a game changer for dealing with the condensation. Just my input.

We had a group camp with the LateBay forum, March 2013 over in Malham on the old campsite at Goredale Scar.

It was bloody cold, our T2 had little insulation, no heater and it was around -5'C..we had lots of blankets, hot water bottles and campfires plus lots of beer

We had a great weekend!

One is never cold with a fully grown labrador to cuddle up to.
