Tent heaters

[JonH]

Can anybody recommend an inexpensive tent heater?

I'm assuming a halogen model would kick out far too much light for star party use, but what about one like this http://www.peak-outdoors.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=609?

Many thanks,

Jon

One of those 2kw fan heaters would do just as good and be a lot more safe....

Out of stock though. Just goes to show the awesome buying power of SGL.

Bearing in mind how much radiating heat is the enemy of good seeing - are having all these heated tents really a good idea!

They look ideal for camping and would heat tent better than a halogen heater i should think with the aid of the fan (shame i'm skint at the mo)

Catalytic heater for me - just runs slow so heats up all around it. Uses gas so not dependent on power. Ummmmm nice and toastie.

Nowt wrong with an electric blanket....Should sort the coldness in your bed.....Matt...

I always take my fan heater when camping, the tent/van is lovely and warm

I popped into Aldi today and spotted some fan heaters for I believe £12.99 if Asda are OOS on the £10 ones

They also have some thermal fleece blankets and some adorable microwave snoozies (for the kids of course )

[JonH]

Sorted - my wife has just bought one in Sainburys for £10.99.

Thanks for all the advice and now I just need to get an electrical hook-up lead, table, chair, camp bed, beer cooler...

is the oil filled raidators any good for heaters as i have one already i just wouldnt want to spend much more ( i do have a electric blanket as well)

If using these camping it might be worth checking the rated output of the campsite power points.

Someone won't be popular if they nip inside to switch 'two bars' on and it trips your imaging kit!

Should only effect individual supplies I think and shouldn't cause general panic/frustration/anger.....i think!

[garethmob]

"usualy" the commando plugs are 16amp but they may use less

[MG1]

Only mentioned it because I noticed that alot of camping electrical supplies are rated as lower power and I assumed there was a reason for it.

i just snuggle up to the missus, now thats toasty!!
