Yes, you certainly don't need a blast furnace in your trailer...only a small heater most likely.
While I bought a heater shortly after January's Shiveree, I survived that cold, sub-zero Saturday night without a heater in my brand new Little Guy 6-wide. Sure, I was getting annoyed (with myself that I didn't have a heater) as the day dragged on and I listened to some of my fellow campers complain that they turned up their heaters too high and that it was 80+ degrees in their trailer ... and I'm thinking I am going to be totally frozen in the morning. Yes, I had a little bit of frost on the inside of my windows the next morning but I easily survived the night. I slept in my +5 degree-rated sleeping bag and had a one of those head wraps that only exposed part of my face ... plus I wore a hoodie on top of a couple t-shirts to keep my shoulders warm. I slept fairly comfortably, amazingly enough. But this year, I will hopefully be one of those people whose trailer gets too hot from their heater. Must be getting old!
And that was my very first adventure into the world of teardrop camping... and my first introduction to a very, very nice group of people whom I now refer to as my friends.
