can you winter camp in a pop up?

thank you all, yes rfryer , that was what i was thinking, to heat up the pop up before closing. I am not looking to go to canada or anything but 2 months ago I was in PA and it got down to 33 F at night, and it made me wonder how cold it would have to be, to possibly crack either the vinyl or the plastic windows. thanks again..

We camped in our Niagara last December with high temps in the upper 30s and lows of upper 20s. We had booked the weekend about 8 weeks earlier not expecting a bad cold snap to happen. Decided to go for it and had a great time.

With a small electric space heater and the pups furnace we stayed plenty warm. We did run out of propane part way thru but Ive since added a second tank to the pup. Had we started with a fresh tank it wouldve been plenty for the weekend- Ours was about half full.

Before packing up I kicked the furnace up and put the space heater facing each bunkend to soften the canvas and windows. No issues there.

We did have popup gizmos over the slide and bunkends and they seemed to help. Otherwise we slept in 40 degree sleeping bags with a blanket over us..It turned into a great weekend that we still talk about.
