Hi Sue and Shaun
Shutting the door is usually enough to keep out the cold and the caravan soon warms up with two of us, and adding warm clothes such as tracksuits works for us. On cold nights i wear bedsocks.
Hence we have never thought it necessary to add a heater. If building a caravan from new (which we won't) it would be worth putting in a Webasto or similar diesel heater.
The only time we have needed a heater was when my husband had bronchitis, so we purchased a small but very effective fan heater and stayed in caravan parks for a few days until his coughing subsided. We have camped out and found ourselves in stiff frost and not felt cold inside our full caravan. The wind up with slide out beds was another story :O

We never thought it was a necessity either as we generally follow the sun, BUT having had an Eberspascher (S) installed don't know how we ever survived without it. Probably just 'survived'
Nowdays, dial up whatever temp you want.... and a heated ensuite is just BLISS!
