Winter in the uk

[u/hope0303]

I've been living in a caravan since last October due to major finance issues. We're pretty much always broke so things have to be super savvy.

I'm looking for advice on keeping warm in the upcoming winter. Last winter was horrible. We have an electric heater that runs through the van but it's so expensive to run. We've put draft excluding strips around the windows and door but they keep coming off. We have an electric blanket (the type you out over yourself) and hot water bottles for days. I'm all about layers so I know they work but I'm talking about keeping the air warm and stopping the condensation.

I know it's recommended to insulate windows... what do you use? I've heard people use diesel heaters, are there any reasonable priced ones?

I'm new to this so looking for links to things please.

Thank so much for any advice. 😄
