Hi
Has anyone got any suggestions for a heater in a folding camper? Also has anyone had any experience with an oil filled heater?
Thank you,
Mandy.

I've always used a fan heater.

Do you leave it on over-night?

An oil filled radiator is a pretty much essential part of my kit when going away in the colder weather.

It's the only heater you can, safely, leave on over night, if you need to. I, also, find mine is plenty for keeping the camper warm in the evening, as well.

That said, they aren't as quick to warm up as most other forms of heating, so I always had a second little heater to take the chill of first. I've now installed a plinth heater, which is great for warming the camper up quickly, then I tend to use the oil filled rad, to keep the temperature nice and consistent.

If you Google; "What's the best heating to use in my folding camper?" there's a detailed article on it there, which might be of some use.

Hi, no I don't. I leave it on til bed time then would put it on again first thing to take the chill off. I've always found as long as I'm warm when I get into bed and I'm adequately covered (in my case sleeping bag and 13.5 tog duvet), I stay toasty!
