Nope, Phil -- I figure if the Eskimos can sleep in igloos with sealskin blankets, we can sleep in an insulated trailer with a down comforter. Paradoxically, we sleep better in the trailer than anywhere else -- 8 or 9 hours a night, which is unheard-of for us. It is dark, cold, silent -- totally comfortable.
Until we have to get out of bed.
So in the morning, I crank up our noisy OEM heater, we wipe up the condensation, dress warmly (again imitating the Eskimos) and turn off the heater. The heater does not go on again till shower time in the late afternoon, after hiking but just before cocktail hour. (This is where we part company with the Eskimos.)
