Could anyone advise me on a heater for our folding camper. We have a small fan heater but it has tripped out on site (fortunately only us-so havent been thrown off site) I have made sure that nothing else electric is used whist using this. When we were away at easter (rain & cold) we needed some heat.  Help!!

It doesn't matter what sort of heater you use the wattage is all that matters. Our ceramic fan heater has a 750 and 1500 setting so is ok for 10 amp electricity. Personally I wouldn't book a site with 6 amp electric if I intended to use a heater. Electric blankets at 200 W or less are fine for hookup.
