We have just spent a great week in the Peak District in our trailer tent but found for the first time that we got cold during the evening.

We usually have EHU so could anyone recommend a heater that would keep us a little warmer in the awning of our TT but won't cause the electrics to trip on the camp site!

thanks Julie

Hi Julie

We camp in the Peak District a lot. I brought the cheapest smallest elec blow heater in argoes and it is brilliant.

Unless you have everything on it never blows the elec.

Good luck

Sue

Agreed.

Try this one, has high and low power setting to suit requirements and EHU rating.

The challenge upright one for 9.99 in argos - not to noisy and cuts on and off as the temp drops to reqd temp.

The problem with a 2.4 Kw heater is that it is at the maximum for EHU but a 2 Kw leaves some spare for lights tv etc

This is the one we have used for the past year and found it fab!

Only tripped the electric this year with the heater, travel kettle and chiller.

We have a panel radiator purchased from Tesco's for about £7 (seven). It is 1 or 2 KW switchable ie 4 or 8 amps. Being dry it is light and makes no noise unlike a fan heater. At night it takes that cold damp chill away even on the lowest setting.
