I started off sleeping in a tent outside to keep costs down but thats no fun early season. Tried sleeping in the pit garage ( in a tent ) but that's not much better. Then tried the van option too and that's the best all round option. B and b is all very well but you are away from your bike and time to work on it. Sleep in the van mate and if you afford it buy a gazebo or similar.

A well insulated van should be adequate for a comfortable sleep.
Does anybody know any source to get good advice on van insulation?

Being an outdoorsy type you'll probably have a window cracked so unless you have a propex to add heat ,( 2 stroke genny and fan heater is cheaper

) then a good sleeping bag, mattress and a cosy pillow will do more than van insulation. Stretch carpet on ply lining will keep your a*se off any cold steel but have a look at condensation issues before stuffing voids with fleece.
