Queens English please, Ditzy.



As to your tenting question:



Do not set the tent up behind the Highlander and use the Highlander exhaust to heat your tent. This

may weaken the seams.



Do buy a gas lantern. One of these will keep your tent nice and warm.

For dryness, use a good ground cover. Make sure the edges are folded under so water can't come over.

I personally think you'd be happier with a good size tent (six man) separate from the Highlander.

Use the Highlander as storage while you're camping. Don't ever think that a three-man tent will be

sizeable enough for two.



Oh, one of these is great for cooking:

My wife and I spent an awful lot of time motorcycle camping in Europe. Both of those items take up

little room and are quite efficient. Buy plenty of mantles, although you probably won't break them

as often in a car as I did on a motorcycle.

I was thinking something that didn't throw too much light while I slept.
I still have an old Coleman naptha gas lantern that uses mantles...plenty of heat but way too much light.

Also have my old naptha gas 2 burner camp stove but a friend gave me a new butane model when I travelled to the Muskoka Region of Ontario for a sailboat rendezvous in 2007.
If the campground supplies electric power, I can bring along a household space heater or even a heat lamp.
I used to suffer from mild asthma and don't want to take the chance of it flaring up in a cold damp tent.
