I was raised in Michigan in a 100 year old (back then) poor/no insulated house - slept under too-heavy blankes by an upstairs window - and would wake up on winter mornings with snow on the INSIDE of the window sill by my head. My parents bought me an electric blanket in my teens cuz it was cheaper than heating the upstairs and I was getting flattened by the heavy blankets. We moved to California when I was 19 and we never looked back at the cold winters and the humid, mosquito-ridden summers. (However Gun Lake was still beautiful when we camped there during a recent summer trip to Michigan in our motorhome.)
Now ... when drycamping we keep our RV's furnace set to around 62, nights, and the A/C set to around 76 whenever needed, We do not hear either appliance or the built-in generator over the tinnitus in both of our sets of ears. I even use an electric blanket every night inside our California stick-house so as to not feel any blanket load at all winter or summer. We didn't pay for a self-contained RV so we could backpack inside it. :)
