I put a computer thermostat in the camper so I don't even have to get up. I have an electric heater that keeps things from freezing (including me) and then the real heat comes on at a temp I can deal with then I get up and make coffee! There is no way I could sleep through the furnace so it only comes on when the temp is really low then about the time I normally wake up the heat comes on to 68. I don't winter camp but last years ham fest in NH was a good example of what happens in new England at the beginning and end of winter. I woke up and there was ice on my antenna masts I had set up the night before (Sept) and the water hoses froze in May the year before.
