Title: Trip - Holder Mine Campground, Withlacoochee State Park (Inverness FL)

Are you sick of my trip posts yet? Should I stop?

Here's the vid - - https://youtu.be/dHi5O8PnjIw

I know I can't stop camping. I am loving having the TT, filming our little trips, etc. We froze our asses off this past weekend. Yay for furnace!

These videos are SO much fun. Thanks for taking the time to make and post them :)

We have the same screen house as you have and I laughed at the incongruity of your wearing a winter coat in a screen house.  8)

I have never thought of using cinnamon swirl bread for French toast. What a great idea!

Keep 'em coming. The videos make the forum fun and I'm learning a lot too.

As a side note, you can keep the camper warm enough for comfortable sleeping with a small ceramic type electric and heater and avoid the furnace noise and propane use until it gets really chilly.

I appreciate the encouragement Merlin, thank you very much. We're having a blast, and I get a real kick out learning video editing. Now starting to put my own music to these rather than copyright free music. We have a new 'cooking' product hopefully Edye will debut next trip, so that should be amusing !

Do you have a specific heater you recommend?

I use an electric heating element I installed in my Coleman Cub 9.2 AC unit. They make an integrated heating element for many of their AC units that nicely takes the chill off without having a separate heater in the camper. Other manufacturers may do the same.

For a separate stand-alone heater, I found 2 threads on that with recommendations from others. One of these would likely work well for you.

We use a electric bathroom heater.  Works great as long as we have a site with power.  Takes the edge off and saves on the propane.
