Cold weather camping

I would LOVE to camp out there! Have fun. Those little trailers are cool. But what's to enjoy if you can't sleep on the cold ground with a root in your back?

Picked up the firewood and it's in the back of the truck. A queen size bed that doesn't deflate in the middle of the night. Thanks Pete .

Btw, after one particularly freezing expedition dear old dad bought one of these that I still use occasionally, runs on white gas:

Though I see the new ones use butane like everything else. In this case though it doesn't matter, the heaters don't need pumped. I bet in one of those little campers it'd work great.

Heading up to the High Sierra for some fishin' and a little prospectin' after stopping in Los Gatos for my sis in laws birthday. I'll be avoiding King's Canyon, 19 degrees at night there...I sure hope it warms up by the weekend.

At least we won't be sleeping on the ground. Renting one o' these.

Cool, did you see the raindrop trailer show on California's Gold? Good stuff.

I just passed one of those on to my son. I've had it about 40 years. Still works just like it should.

I'd get a room off Expedia and stay warm at night.

Hope you find a nugget BTW.

Even younger bones. Used to have an Apache tent trailer, water tank on board two burner propane stove and a propane heater. Went up to Algonquin Park early one spring, nice and toasty inside with the heater, had a thermostatic valve so it was set and forget. Hauled that trailer from Ottawa to Vancouver back in the 70s - after I had it equipped with electric brakes.

Thanks Rob. Picked up the little trailer and leaving right after a bite to eat. This little fiberglass canned ham has a stereo, DVD player and flip down screen. My mini truck (Ford Ranger V6) pulls it along fairly effortlessly. I'll post up some pics when we return.
