If you are planning to spend most of your time in northern Europe or other places where it is winter it would be better if you have a heating system. There are special kinds of camper van or motor home heaters that live outside of the vehicle, run on diesel and pump heat into the vehicle. These take a bit of work to fit and make some noise with their diesel engine. Also thick curtains that fit the windows well will keep a lot of heat in. Expenses can be bare minimum with free camping, if you do limited driving and buy stocking up at supermarkets. LPG is cheaper to buy in larger quantities, so having large gas bottles means you can save money there. While camping, you may also need Electrical power. It would be better if you have a 12v electrical circuit. Also carry 1 or more leisure batteries. You can charge them when the engine is running as this is the quickest way to charge.
