Miletts and Blacks have 2 for 1 deals on some of their sleeping bags - making a very good spec 3 season sleeping bag - Eurohike Adventurer 300 (comfort -2 to +25, extreme -15) £25 each (RRP £49.99 each), with their new discount card = even cheaper. Their 4 season version has a comfort range of -4 to +20, which with the deal would cost you about £5 more each.
If you don't need 2 - why not sell on the spare.
We had a good play with the 2 x 300 ones I got yesterday and they seem excellent and no one had a bad thing to say about them when I asked on the forum. The few reviews out there are very good. We've relegated our old Vango Wilderness 350s to indoor use only now.
We use a ceramic heater which has safety cut off if it falls over or senses movement next to it.
We don't leave that switched on at night. If its cold then we also have a small, thin panel radiator that works a treat to give a little background heat.
Having said that I'm always alright just in a sleeping bag !
One thing I would advise if using electric hookup, watch what you have in use together or you will be tripping the supply all the time. Often see people wondering whats going on when all of a sudden the toaster, kettle and heater stop working !!
i'm a bit weird and cant bear the idea of heaters / cooking or anything EHU in a tent , we're never used EHU and never will but each to their own
this year was our warmest at night yet , with the built in sig , we all had blow up beds with mattress covers on then our own quilts and i had my pillow from home , everyone else had inflatable £1 shop pillows we then had a cheap fleecy blanket £1.50 over the top and were all as warm as toast
the one night i was freezzzing i wore my pink fluffy fleece dressing gown and ugg boots to bed lol i woke up sweltering
If you are weird, then I am too Eileen because I feel the same way as you about heaters, cooking and anything EHU in a tent. We put all that stuff outside in a beach tent (you know, those little pop up things) and do it all out of our tent which we want to try to keep free of condensation. We keep warm with a campfire outside which means lots of toasted marshmallows, mmm!

much better for the environment to use more bedding or wear more clothes than waste a load of electricity on heating a tent!
Never taken EHU with the tent. The best pitches (out of the way ones) often don't have the option anyway. But then we're Luddites !
