The camper loses a lot of heat , it was never meant for winter use . But

My truck too is on the charger , wouldn't kick over earlier . I also hung
a 75W incan light bulb down between the rad and motor and threw a cover over
the hood area . I had slush in the radiator , but apparently not enough in
the motor to lock up the water pump .

Sorry to hear the cold is giving you trouble.
I wonder if I have any filament light bulbs I
can leave under the hood. Today I did use a
ceramic space heater to help thaw pipes.

My truck won't start on ether, so my main
mechanic suggests some heat on the distributor
cap, in case there is water in there.
