just don’t put it too near your hose reel as it’ll balloon up and pop if full of ice ?

When I got my van I insulated it and ply lined it. Fitted a roof vent for circulation and protect my pump and cover everything with an old duvet at night

Insulating is good even if just a simple over winter measure I attach some of that foil bubble wrap to the roof as an issue you will have is moisture on the van roof this can be overcome by doing the above, I ain't insulated anything else as no need to with an oil filled rad in the back of the van I place mine near the pump and hose reel on a low setting and the back of the van is nice and warm in the morning.

Keep it simple.....an oil filled radiator overnight placed near your hose reel and pump will suffice for most window cleaners on cold frosty nights....

No worries, as my wife always says "Be prepared or prepare to fail" 30 custys is good going hopefully things will keep on snow balling for you
