EHU solution is by far the best and safest option ... it also opens up a wide range of other uses ... charging all those electronics, electric kettle, hair dryer, toaster, cooler/fridge etc etc
We have used an oil filled rad when camping in UK, and it was brilliant ... no noise (fan), and can be left on a low setting all day if necessary.

We use old fashioned paraffin bowl fires, pressure lamps & stoves in the tent when camping & a portable CO detector - never succeeded in making it go off. I don't have a Degree but self-taught in common sense. I grudgingly use a EHU for the fridge in hot summers (abroad) but may dispense with that now I'm happier getting the thing lit on gas. The car would suffice for the 'rechargeables' , towels for wet hair etc. The more electical appliances the less it feels like camping for me.
