Winter Camping Comfort: The Diesel Heater Upgrade

Описание: Can you actually stay warm winter camping at 25–29°F with diesel heaters? We took three couples to a riverside Oregon camp spot in mid-January and put three different diesel heater setups to the test — a rooftop tent, a van, and my Lone Peak camper. No deep specs, no brand warfare… just real comfort results, honest reactions (yes, the wives’ verdict matters), and what we learned after spending the night in freezing temps.

DISPATCH 02: NORTH OF 42

We tracked the outside temp (mid-20s) and checked inside temps across the rigs, then did a morning “no fluff” recap around the fire: what worked, what didn’t, and what we’d change next time. If you’ve been curious about diesel heaters for cold-weather camping — or you want your spouse to actually enjoy winter trips — this one’s for you.

In this video:
• Winter camping in Oregon (mid-January, ~25–29°F overnight)
• Three rigs: rooftop tent vs van vs truck camper
• Real-world comfort check (not a spec sheet)
• Morning recap + what we’d do differently next time
• The simple key to staying warm: the right gear + enough fuel

Gear note: This isn’t a sponsored review — just what we used and how it felt in real conditions.
