      I lived in Alaska from 1989 to fall of 2019 with rarely renting an apartment because I lived in my truck camper.
      Winter night cold was - 10 below to - 20 below and I didn't have any electric you just do without.
      Day tempetures in Anchorage run around 32 degrees

    I lost my home a couple years ago and live in my 40 yr old RV made of wood and polyurethane skin with inch and a half thick walls. This winter not being too bad so I was able to keep us warm at 65-68° with my electric radiator heaters. (My furnace no longer works) Last winter got -10° and we struggled to keep it at 50-55° inside. I had to stay bundled and my dogs huddled up and I covered them with a quilt. Being disabled keeps me from being able to do repairs but God has been with US and kept us sheltered so I'm not complaining just sharing how camper life has it's challenges. But overall it's been pleasant and we are happy. 👍

    I built a 10x6 6.5 tall on a tent trailer frame and upgraded the axle. 2x3 walls and plywood with a galvanized metal roof. Metal insulated house door chopped down and one window over the sink. Diesel heater, exterior vented and interior fed garbage hatch. Murphy bed, 40” tv, generator, shore power hook up, manual foot pump sink from water jog to bucket. USB shower stall/ bathroom. I moved it onto a farm a few weeks ago and moved in full time. It’s doing me perfect and I don’t mind the minimal set up at all. It’s standing height and still has enough room for doing my work outs inside. I got shire power here and Ben a covered slip for winter. I’m so glad I decided to go this route, best decision ever.

    I have a Black Max Lil Guy and yes, during cold winter camps there is a lot of condensation. Run to your nearest Wally World and purchase a box or two of desiccant hanging bags. My ratio is like one bag per night and condensation is near nullified. Just a possible help in staying dry in cold camping, staying warm is another thing 😁🖖🏼

    Great video! My wife and I camp in our runaway camper throughout hunting season and condensation is always a problem. I recommend removing everything when you return home and letting things dry out. Our mattress developed some mold spots on the edges from getting wet so many time from condensation and not being removed. Live and learn. Just a recommendation. Keep the videos coming 👍

      I would also like to add to check & air out your things in the summer, when the humidity gets high.
      Had a problem with my AC not working durning 1 trip, on a high humidity weekend.
      Went out again on a following weekend trip, only to find that some mold spots had started to grow in my tiny shower area & under my kitchen sink.
      Thank God I caught it & was able to kill the mold with a water & bleach solution & letting it air out after.

    I've go in my T@g to -30 C. One tip I would give you is that an ice fishing hut (the quick, pop-up kind), with a Buddy Heater, works quite nicely to give you the extra space (and stand-up room) as well as a nice warm spot to cook and eat. For me, colder than -30 is not worth the risk, as I am on my own, usually in places with no cell service, and if something happens, I would be in serious trouble until help came.

    I used to have a Comet Teardrop that was manufactured in 1958. I bought it in 1994 and used it on many hunting trips. It had belonged to a old gentleman who owned a pallet company, he was terminally ill and knew I was interested in buying it. Not long before he passed, randomly one day during a visit he asked if I'd pay 250.00 for the trailer. Two tires and a can of Kool Seal for the roof and it was as good as new. So many deer and turkey hunting memories were made with that trailer, it even survived a Oklahoma tornado one spring!

    Used to have a group of 10 or so that got together ever month fall, winter and spring. Ocean, lakes or mountain. Had to have water around. In the NC mountains we ran into some really bad winter storms with sleet, rain and snow but we never quit. A tear will fit almost completely in a large EZup type cover with the solid walls. Major help. We have wagon trained them and covered with huge tarps. If we had electric we might have had a small heater. Campgrounds would all be empty but for us. Too old for that now and the people stopped but great times for all for about 6 - 8 years. We would do a 'Trailer trash Christmas' gathering the first weekend of December with enough decorations for suburban block or two for each camper. A lot of fun to see who could have the most overdone decorations.

      Butain stoves are safe to be used inside .... The stove he's using is a backpackers stove...definitely not advisable in a camper that is basically nothing but bedding materials.

Obviously there's alot of room for improvement. Those areas where frost developed are because of air leaking and wind drafts. --maybe throwing a canvas tarp over the trailer with tie downs might help reduce that .

    Your body makes enough heat, you just need the right gear to retain it. I have a TETON Sports Celsius XL Sleeping Bag that is rated to -25F. I get the XL so I can put my regular flannel sleeping bag inside it when needed. If for some reason you are in -60F, you can put a space blanket between the 2 sleeping bags to retain more heat. Don't sleep with the space blanket on you, you will sweat and then freeze when you come out. Baffin Titan boots are comfort rated to -148F.

    I am older than you, and just watching you setting up tired me out. I've always been an outdoorsman but as I got older, I started taking practical short cuts on overnight stays such as taking original Thermos containers full of soups, coffee or anything I wanted to keep hot. The Thermos' kept everything hot for just over four hours which was about the same time I could sleep outdoors in the cold or hot weather anyway. Oh yeah, secure generator or anything that you don't want to get stolen from your tailgate or campsite, too many thieves lately.

    Built my little trailer out of a rotted out 6x8 tent trailer i picked up for 100$. Its now a fully insulated hardwall trailer, including floor and ceiling. I kept the fiberglass roof. 1000$ in. Diesel heater, counter space with sink and water, a single bed, windows, lights. We will see this winter, but i suspect it will be far superior to commercial trailers I've had in the past. Just thought i would share, because its an easy project, and these little trailers are ridiculously overpriced and underbuilt. Well, not just the little ones but I digress...

    There's less risk to interior camp cooking than a lot of people promote. Complete combustion with an all blue flame is key to any CO issues. Yes, there is oxygen consumption, but propane catalytic heaters are actually sold for indoor use, so that's been overstated as well.
