- I explain why an electric blanket is the best option for staying warm while winter camping in a SUV and I demonstrate how I safely use my electric blanket to stay warm and comfortable.
Here is the link for the blanket: amzn.to/3j1k97c (please note it is currently unavailable - please see pinned comment below)
If you want to learn more, check out my website www.suburbancamping.com/.
Here is page featuring links to my camping gear www.suburbancamping.com/campi....
And the page with links to the gear I used to outfit my Suburban Camper and the things I carry to be prepared for anything: www.suburbancamping.com/suv-gear.
According to Amazon, this blanket is not available.
Yes, I noticed that. Sorry it is not available, but I only recommend products I actually use, so rather than listing a link to a product that is available, I provided the link to the blanket I use. As I pointed out in the video, they are simple devices, so I am sure some of the other options available will work well.
@@SuburbanCamping I've tried three other 12 volt electric blankets - none of them were any good. Sent 'em all back.
Sorry to hear that. Guess I got lucky with the RoadPro. Perhaps you might be able to find one at a truck stop?
I may be wrong but I think you are the only true Suburban Camper on CZcams. I'm glad you are still out there. I understand how much work goes into posting content on CZcams. No matter how much time in between postings just keep it up.
Thank you so much. Comments like this keep me going!
Thank you very much for this video, I have always used wool blankets in conjunction with my sleeping bag that will keep me comfortable to 0°F. The only cold part would be my face haha. This will definitely make it way more comfortable.
You are welcome! Thanks for the positive feedback.
I use an electric blanket under me. Heat rises. I also turn it on well before going to bed so when I do go to bed, everything is toasty warm. I generally turn off my electric blanket when sleeping. I just use a very warm sleeping bag. A sleeping pad designed for winter weather is extremely important. An inflatable air pad will suck the heat away from you. Hopefully everyone knows that.
Great advice! I will try the "under method". Yes, insulation below is very important! I have mats on the floor and my 4" mattress does a good job. I have thought about getting a warmer sleeping bag, but mine is so comfortable, I don't think I can get away with it.
CZcams recommended your channel! I love your philosophy! I’m a senior solo female camper in a Ford Escape! It’s tiny in comparison to your Suburban but thankfully I’m not very big and I’m still pretty “bendable”! I extended my space by suspending boards from the front seat headrests over the back floorboards. I have three “permanent” components to my setup. My trifold mattress bed, my Alpicool compressor fridge (with a Bluetti battery in the floorboard) and my potty. (Well, the potty usually stays in the Wolfwise but I set it up fresh and bring it inside with me when I go to bed so I don’t get out of the car at night I.C.E.) I use the Wolfwise to store stuff in when not in use, like kitchen supplies tote, table and chairs etc. Food stays in the car. Either in the front passenger seat or on the bed in back if driving around. When I’m ready to move along, I tidy up the permanent stuff properly then throw a big Mexican blanket over it. Then I put the Wolfwise, table, chairs and kitchen supplies tote on top of it. That way, when I remove them, the permanent stuff under the blanket is clean and ready to go.
I do have one indulgence if I have a power hookup. I have a little Keurig coffee maker. I’ll set it up the night before on my fridge (which doubles as a nightstand). I love waking up in my little SUV camper, reaching over and pushing the button on that coffee maker and enjoying “coffee in bed”, usually watching the dawn from my window. Then it’s up and at ‘em!
Jeez I’m sorry that’s so long! :-/
Thanks for sharing this info and welcome to the channel. Sounds like a great setup! Nothing better than coffee in bed!
Hey, good to see you back!
Good to be back! Thanks so much!
Great video. I'm glad to see again.
Thanks so much Adam. I appreciate you taking the time to say that!
Love your videos!!! Always great info here!
Thanks Justin!
Great explanation, warnings, and diy tips.
Thank you!
Another great video as always thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
I liked this video. I like your style. 😊
Thanks so much!
Welcome back! Thanks for the great content.
Thank you so much Andrew! Good to be back. A lot of work goes into these videos, so I really appreciate it when I get positive feedback!
You are welcome . I’d be interested to know why you went deep cycle instead of lithium for the battery.@@SuburbanCamping
I did not know lithium was an option! I will check it out!
Thank you for the most important part. Current draw.
You are welcome! When I bought the blanket that info was not available, so glad to see they are now providing. As you know, it is critical!
Welcome back!
Thank you!
Hey your back. Nice to see you...
Thanks so much!
This is exactly what I needed for my trip New Year’s Eve. Also, I use a pillow case as a hat while sleeping. Warm, when doubled over, and comfortable.
If I'm cold I wear a loose beanie in bed, lol.
Glad I could help! Love the pillowcase idea!
Ecoflow wave 2 AC and heater works great in the summer and winter.
I will check it out! Thanks.
I’ve heard on the other channels that if you use electric blankets and plug them into your car, it will drain. Your battery is best to use like a separate battery that’s not in the car which of course is more expensive that’s probably the way I’ll go to keep from killing my battery in my car.
Yes, you should definitely not use your car battery to power the electric blanket.
What happened? Are you doing ok bud?
All good here!
Electric blankets are safe,but not reliable
Have not had mine fail yet, but I often carry a spare!
Your right, the name of this video is misleading. damage is already done tho. You did it on purpose. i will not subscribe to you nore ever click your bait again. Good day not so kind ser.
I appreciate your perspective on this.
