Hi guys! I've been living in my tiny VW Polo from the start of May this year in order to save on accomodation costs(rent, utilities etc.) and i've been very successful so far, travelling around my country and doing odd jobs through online hubs and such. I've used a butane heater, which puts out 4k-7k BTUs so far, but it's a hassle because of the condensation.(The canisters are very cheap though, like 1,2 Euro in bulk/ each lasting 4-5 hours). My car is too small for a diesel heater setup. Having a kerosene lamp would put out toxic fumes. Using graveyard candles isn't efficient enough. Electric blanket would starve my car battery at -5C. Butane moisture will freeze at -5C, making it difficult to open windows and doors in the morning. Idk, i'm searching for cheap options since in 2-3 days the weather will drop from 4C to -3C and will remain constantly freezing. Is using mord blankets and such really the only solution?

Define 'cheap'. A sleeping bag that works in -5C, long thermo underwear and a warm hat should be well enough for as low as -10C, since you're pretty well isolated and protected from wind and weather in your car. If you can leave two opposing windows open (only a slit), moisture shouldn't be a big issue, either.
All the best anon, I hope you'll get back on your feet soon.

i would always go to hotels and truck stops that had plugs for trucks block heaters and i would plug in an extension cord and run it to my car and run a little space heater
