I've read that you can get heating fans to warm the place up when chilly, just wondered if anyone can recommend any goods one, and would the argos type ones be ok? or are the too high voltage wise?
Not a fan heater, but we use a "Quest" 800 watt quartz heater which can also be used at 400 watt. It is extremley light and small enough to store in a cupboard. It gives a very welcoming "fireside" atmosphere but care is needed in a confined space. being low powered it is safe on hook up. Ours cost £8.99 but if you google it you will find one easily for £9.99p. Ours offers superb winter backup to our diesel heated blown air or use it on it's own. After all, diesel now costs £1.30 p per litre! If you have children or animals then it's no go from safety viewpoint. Hope this helps!

We use one from Argos. On low when we have other appliances on and on high when we don't TBH they heat up the van so quickly it's very very seldom we would have it on high

Yup also got one from Argos. Don't think they sell the one I've got any more but they do have ones similar (like this one) that do the trick. Kept us nice and warm in our 6 man dome tent (no SIG) in the rubbish June weather last year. =)

I purchased one of these a couple of weeks ago £12 delivered. It has a thermostat so you can set it and it keeps the temperature constant. I don't know how they do it for the money, it must have cost half of the sell price for the carrier.
That little 12v one won't do much in a tent. If it was big enough to be any use it would flatten a leisure battery very very quickly. To produce heat you need high wattage appliances.
