Heat the awning? Do you generally try walking up the down escalator as well? It's doable but hopelessly inefficient.

I've never tried to walk the wrong way on an escalator CY.

I have however sat nice and warm in an awning quite efficiently.

Off topic but when are you trading in your MH (what's it mpg?) for a bike and tent? And have you sold off your apartment in Spain? Did you used peddle to get there or take a nice 'green' airplane?smile

You see everyone appears to have an elastic sense of energy usage. But some don't criticise other's usage?

But it’s his choice and makes him happy while some types harrumph on the down escalator at the fun he's having as he enjoys the ride,

I didn’t know it was like this here, only asked a question as I was curious, and now there’s also TTS going on

Unfortunately, Mickey, you opened a can of worms by stirring up awning heating which, it seems, you have no direct interest in.

On the modernising front, you have failed to give us any clues as to what you want so it’s near impossible to help you.

In forum world, those two factors make it appear as if you're just taking the, err, Mickey. Sorry but that's the truth of it.

No just new to it all and had read somewhere else that people heat there awnings and wondered what was used, and as for renovating etc I have an old caravan and wondered if anyone else had any expirience modernising an old van, and had any advice.
