This video could change your perspective on how to stay warm in your van. Staying warm is not just about trapping heat; it involves managing airflow, understanding chemistry, and ensuring your space can breathe.

The first time I used my propane heater throughout the night, I woke up feeling warm, but everything around me was soaked. I had fogged windows and damp blankets, and the air felt so thick that breathing was hard. That experience sparked a journey that taught me what many van lifers learn the hard way: heat without proper airflow can lead to significant problems.

In this video, I'll walk you through the system I use to stay warm and dry - even in the cold Colorado winters.

You'll learn about:
The three-layer insulation method that retains heat without trapping moisture
Why propane heaters release water vapor and how to manage it effectively
The chemistry of combustion and its impact on air quality
Real data comparing sealed versus ventilated setups using absolute humidity calculations
My simple airflow system (a cracked window plus a Maxxair fan) made a significant difference

Whether you're preparing for your first cold-weather trip or are tired of waking up to condensation and clammy air, this information might be the missing piece in your setup.
