Very new to caravanning - so forgive me if I'm being thick!!!

We're going away with friends at the end of October and want to be able to use the awning into the evening (with a couple of nice glasses of wine!!) while our children use the caravan and, being a bit soft, want to be warm at the same time. 

We're looking at buying a 1200w halogen heater - is this likely to be enough to take the chill of in our 18x8ft awning?

Cheers

We used to use a fan heater in the awning of our folding camper and it was brilliant.  Personally I don't like the light from a halogen heater and don't find they're very effective unless you're standing right in front of them.

I have a halogen heater but dont rate it!!

looking to get a fan heater as the nights get cooler

does not keep te chill out of our awning fan heater works better

We do like the light that ours throws out and the heat is enough for us, however for the best warmth get a fan heater,

 We always used a fan heater in in our tent before we became proud caravan owners,and we do the same in our awning now. We got one that does both cold air for hot summer nights (ha ha,  in our dreams ) and hot air for the colder nights ( more like it ) We are newies like you, but we find this site is a godsend. Hope you are enjoying the caravanning as much as we do.
