I am in the UK so expecting a lowest temperature of around -5 celsius. I think I wasn't clear enough I am only using this method to heat the van up before I go to sleep, and switching it on in the morning to warm the van before I get out of bed, so the engine will be idling for 30min max on cold days (the remote start system cuts the engine after 15 minutes of inactivity).

I don't have any electrics installed yet, I need to get a battery to battery charger before I can charge my leisure battery.


But it's reassuring to know that a good sleeping bag etc can get me through the night if worst comes to worst.

Thanks for the thorough response.

I am planning to live in a van whilst I am at Uni. I start back next week so I am looking for a quick solution for heating the van in winter.

I am looking to redirect one of the AC vents using flexible  dryer extractor piping combined with a remote engine start system.

I am unsure of the best point to connect into the AC, I am thinking that by removing the glove box I should be able to access a good connection point.

If anyone has any pointers it would be extremely welcome.
