El Cid Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It would only be a small space to heat up, electric blanket on a night time. He would still need mains supply, or a generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyofborg Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 depends really..... relatively modern ones are quite well insulated he could get a heater and a big fluffy duvet and he'd probably be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Probably cost an absolute fortune to heat all winter. Also there would be nowhere to store anything as the space inside would be a small fraction of a flat. And might not be good for sleeping as unlikely to have a proper mattress and walls very thin could get woken up by all kinds of noises at night.

If your friend is in good health, then it should be warm enough for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 as a species we survived several thousand years of winters without heating so i'm sure he'll be ok. meyabe all he needs do is find a suitiably buxom person of approproate gender to snuggle up too.

Shogun Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Well I've been in our caravan in winter before many times and caravans are made in the same way as motorhomes,its cozy and warm even in the worst weather and takes a lot less heating than a house,once warmed up the heater can be put on low,,you should have a spare bottle of gas ready on standby to change when it runs out..we once had a christmas in our caravan and it snowed we were at the losend caravan site at castleton we were still nice and cozy even though the temperature dropped below freezing.

biotechpete Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 You might want to advise your friend that he could need planning permission to live in his mobile home permanently. https://www.gov.uk/caravan-site-licence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
