Unless you've got the gas on and it's defective in some way, where is all the carbon monoxide coming from? Perhaps it's Pepe le Pew's farts! We use an oil filled radiator, close the roof and put a couple of windows on vent and Bob's ton oncle.

CO is released in a malfunctioning appliance so hopefully you had it given the once over upon return.

with my massive experience of being in the van on two nights when the temperature dropped below freezing, I'm with RamblinRobin about the massive increase in condensation in freezing weather being an issue (This is even with just a small oil-filled radiator on). So I would now go with the roof down and a window slightly open, obviously nearer to Kath than to me!!!! The drips from the aluminium strip always fall on my head, so there is some justice there.

I wonder why Hymer decided to add a vent over the bed on later models? Our 99 Troll doesn't have one.

We have the roof ventilator over the pull out double bed in our 2016 Troll,. However one day when I was messing about under the corner seat cushions I noticed that there was also an extra dome type air vent on both sides more or less under the top of the beds. This seems to let in a lot of cool air in winter.

I feel sure that there is enough ventilation in our Troll to sleep with the roof down in freezing weather. Obviously we wouldn't use any heating but our oil-filled radiator.

We are going to York in a few weeks and might be able to try it out in more freezing weather. If so I'll report back. MikeT

We had our roof down one Boxing Day night when it closed itself due to the weight of snow on the roof. We're still here, didn't die of CO2 poisoning, mind you we nearly died from the shock. It makes a heck of a noise when the roof just collapses shut.

Mike T..... a couple of plastic disposable ‘glasses’ will cover the weird conical ventilators in the corners.

Good idea Frantone - we have just the thing with our picnic stuff in the van itself ..............this is where I can be slow and not very practical. MikeT

I 'spose I could always wear my Dr Who onesie, but that would make me too hot ! I'll stick to my usual..no pj's :)

In days long ago I'd sit around with a coat on in the house in order to make savings for proper furniture. Now in my later years, along with regular SCANs (Senior Citizens Afternoon Nap) I like to keep warm and will exercise any and all available options and if that means dropping the roof in contravention of what is stated in the manual then so be it.

Glad to see that some of us are taking this daft post as seriously as it deserves...
