Fairly new to all this but have got the camping bug! Were going this weekend but decided to wait until new tent arrives- Mon (Outwell Hartford XL) and hope for better weather / less rain next w/end!

Any feedback on heaters would be appreciated not sure which to go for...we have a toddler and two dogs..so safety a concern   

We use a fan heater we bought ages ago in a caravan shop -  bonner eurolectric, 240v~50hz 1000w has thermo cut off and 2 fan settings with 7 heat settings.  I put it on a rubber car mat when we are in the tent.

We also have a gas cannister heater but I'm not that keen on using it incase it gets knocked over and melts something.

Actually been using the fan heater in the house today till the fire got going.

Hi, I use an Outwell fan heater and its great - small, warm and safe. It has a safety cut off  if its knocked over and its high enough off the floor so it wont heat / melt the groundsheet.

             Happy camping xxx

Thanks Rex
