You try putting the oven on too when you arrive on site, and leave door open as well as usual heat source. Wendy

Don't do this, it's asking for carbon monoxide poisoning. The oven is not intended for use as a heat source as it has no flue like a purpose built heater. The heater draws cold air in from outside and expels the gasses through the floor or on earlier models the side wall. The oven takes air from the caravan and puts its exhaust gasses and a lot of moisture back into the caravan.

So the four gas rings on the cooker are dangerous too? They have no flue!!!

You're not going to die from carbon dioxide poisoning from having the oven door open for 10 minutes while heating up the van. If that was the gas there'd be a lot of dead caravaners!! I wasn't suggesting it was left on all night!!
