can you winter camp in a pop up?
So this is my first camper, and I was just curious can you winter camp in a pop up, or do you risk cracking the vinyl tent, when opening and closing? thanks Ken

I know someone who did on a regular basis, while out hunting for deer. One winter, they where huttled around the stove, with the furnace blasting, and shivering! But it was better off then in a tent, no stove or furnace! They lived in Grants Pass Oregon, but I have no idea where they where camping at.
You might try one of these if you want to be really comfortable in the winter.

You might also consider a Olympic Catalytic Safety heater. It puts out barely any CO gas, while something like Mr. Buddy heater can put out more CO and it not designed for such small enclosed spaces.

The Mister Buddy Heater is designed to shut off instantly if it tips over - or - if the oxygen level gets too low. I've tested it for both events while tent camping many times. Only problem is moisture buildup on the inside of tent which is normal for unvented catalytic heaters. Of course, one must follow common sense as far as adequate ventilation is concerned.
