IHI

Last winter i used a oil heater, so there was not live heat source to ignite anything, and a small fan we use on jobsites to keep the back of the bus above freezing all winter. The roof is'nt insulated, the walls are'nt insulated so it's fighting an uphill battle, I had to keep the thermostat on 85* to keep the interior at 50* during the peak cold, ambient air temps at 0*F for 2 weeks straight.

the downside i found to keeping the entire box warm, when it'd snow or sleet or wind blown snow would accumlate faster then it could melt, as it thawed i had HUGE ice dams/ice cicles flowing down the one side of the van body, the one night i parked it and the water flowed down towards the cab...next morning it was impossible to get the passenger side door open LOL!!!

It was nice since working indoors no tools ever sweated, all chaulks/glues were good to go, and i did'nt get frost bite grabbing hold of a pry bar first thing in the morning LOL!! So it worked out and worked well, but had side effects like anything else, cost me $30-40/month to make it happen too, but i could care less since the bene's far outweighed the con's.

I've found myself doing some vinyl siding jobs in the winter and use a small electric space heater(6"x8") to keep things flexible.
By cutting out both ends of the siding boxes,and pulling the siding out about three feet,the heater is placed at the far opened end.
The space between the siding and the heater is used for caulk,gloves,or anything else that needs to be kept warm.
